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?

Dancing And Wine

 Delaney smiled at her husband as she walked back towards him on Captain Black's arm. When he looked at her with a smirk she knew Mason had told him the identity of his partner. 

 "Thank you for letting me enjoy a dance with Lady Adair," Captain Black spoke smoothly to Vincent, "Now Lord Adair I would like to talk to you about our business too. Do you think your wife could keep herself occupied for a time?"

 Delaney was surprised to hear that and looked from the pirate to her husband. Vincent hesitated, looking out at the crowd of people who were still only barely hiding their staring eyes. Stepping to Delaney, he kissed her on the head.

 "I promised my wife I wouldn't leave her alone here. I want her with me so I know she's safe."

 Captain Black turned to a group of men standing along the wall and spoke loudly to them in another language. They looked at one another and one stepped forward.
