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?

Do Not Enter

  Eventually, Delaney pulled herself up from the floor. She didn't call for Ivy, not up to dealing with the maid. Instead, she managed to work her way out of her dress herself and then pulled the clips from her hair.  Outside, rain pelted the windows, thunder and lightning crashed in the sky.

  Exhausted, she crawled into bed and curled up, a tear or two still occasionally making their way down her cheeks. Her mind still churned through everything that had happened but eventually, her tiredness won out and she fell asleep.

  Delaney had not had many dream-filled nights since her wedding but as she slept during the storm, her mind swirled with images of Vincent.

  She saw him again in the hospital bed writhing in pain, angry, and yelling at her. He was in the darkness behind her club, heart breaking as she told him she didn't want to marry him. They were shouting at each other before she slapped him and ran.
