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?

Disappointment and Excitement

 The next day, the summer heat still hung over the manor but with Vincent home again, Delaney was at least a bit more distracted. With Miles and their friends there as well, she found things were actually pretty perfect.

 The only disappointment was when she woke one morning to find she wasn't pregnant. Delaney hadn't given much thought to actually being pregnant but for some reason, discovering she wasn't, upset her. She was looking forward to having a family with Vincent and spending so much time with baby Benjamin had secured that in her heart.

 When she told her husband her news, he nodded, his face serious.

 "I'm sorry," she apologized quietly, afraid he might be angry.

 Vincent looked at her in surprise before quickly pulling her to his chest for a hug.

 "My love you have nothing to apologize for. If this is anyone's fault, we know it's mine."

 Now it was Delaney who looked surprised, "What? Why?"
