My Once Handsome Husband

Marriages are not a thing for love. They are a binding contract your parents make when you are a child and you will have no say in them. You are left to hope they bargained well. When Delaney Simms was born she was a beautiful baby everyone was sure would grow up to be as beautiful as her mother. So when Lord and Lady Adair approached the new parents to arrange a marriage for their handsome eldest son they were quick to accept. They had money but no title. The Adairs had titles and estates but they were falling into disarray due to lack of funds. It was the perfect arrangement. The children grew up and the fortunes of their families reversed. While the Adairs grew more and more wealthy, Delaney's parents passed away and she lost everything and had to live with her Aunt and Uncle. Her marriage contract was still binding though so at least she had that for her future. That was until word came that her handsome future husband had been sent to defend the kingdom against a dragon and had returned scarred and angry. Unable to escape her contract, Delaney was forced to marry the man who was now more of a monster. But could she ever learn to love him? Once they are married she learns there is much more to her scarred husband than meets the eye and she is soon swept into a life of witches, fairies, unicorns, pirates, and more. Delaney has made it clear she will never love her husband and he knows that. He makes a deal with her so they won't have to stay married forever. But what happens if now Delaney is the one to change her mind?

Unexpected

    Over the next few days, Delaney battled with her upset stomach and took to eating bread and potatoes and other bland foods that wouldn't upset it.  She was growing tired of being stuck in bed when there was so much that needed to be done but if she got up and started doing much, she seemed to get sick again.  Then one of her servants would see her and gently send her back to bed.

    Finally, a morning came when Delaney woke up and her stomach was a little uneasy but not enough to keep her in bed.  Ms. Bird and Ava came up to help her dress.

      "You know my Lady I think living at Honeywell has been good for you," Ms. Bird talked while she worked, "You're growing back into your old dresses again.  It's slow but I can tell these that we've had taken in are starting to fit a bit snugger."
