My Disfigured Duke Husband Helps Me Plot My Revenge

A powerless woman’s worst nightmare is marrying someone against her will. When those who are supposed to protect her betray her in the vilest of ways, Leonor is forced to marry a Duke known for his cold nature and repulsive appearance. After a miserable childhood, it shouldn’t have been a surprise to her that her future was never truly in her hands in the first place. Duke Desmond de Montclair was nobody before the war. He garnered the King’s favor by doing the impossible in battle. Unfortunately, any achievement is eclipsed by his appearance and unbearable personality. In a kingdom that idolizes beauty, there is no room for someone like him. At first, Leonor finds life with the Duke to be what she’s used to - walking on eggshells and never speaking what’s truly in her heart. Eventually, things slowly start to change as the Duke learns about the horrors she faced while living with her family. His power becomes the key to her revenge. However, in a moment where she feels cornered, Leonor confesses to the Duke that she’s in love with someone else. The progress she has made with the Duke comes crashing down around her. Will her magic abilities be enough to convince the Duke not to throw her out? If she can make herself useful to him, perhaps she can gain his sympathy somehow…

Her Last Night

The night before Leonor left Burien Manor for the Academy, she had complicated feelings as she wandered the hallways and fondly ran her hands along the cold walls. Her sapphire eyes occasionally admired various pieces of artwork that decorated the walls the closer she got to the central point of the manor. 

Despite her state in a place that felt like a prison, all of her good memories from childhood were created there. They all revolved around her mother as well. Even the birth of her sister was something she celebrated at one point, not knowing how their relationship would sour as they grew older. 

Her father had requested her presence before she could sleep and, surprisingly, she felt less afraid of him than she had since he showed her his true colors after taking Valerio away from her.
