The King's Unbreakable Wife
“I cannot come to you with my problems when you have the weight of the kingdom on your shoulders. I would rather suffer in silence so I do not bother the king-” “Your husband,” Tobias corrected Hazel, placing his hands on her shoulders to comfort her as her eyes filled with tears. It pained him that he had not noticed how much the palace had been slowly breaking her. “I am your husband first. Do not hide your sadness from me,” he said, wiping away a single tear that slipped away with his thumb. … Hazel Wallace never thought she would make it far when she was picked to enter the selection for the next queen. In a surprise turn of events, she finds herself tangled up with the future king, Tobias Castro. Hazel once thought she would be strong enough to survive living in the palace walls. As queen and with Tobias by her side, she had nothing to fear. That was until the crown was placed on her head. Soon she realised the dangers in the palace and how not even the queen was safe from scheming men and women. Each day she spent in the palace, Hazel felt like a piece of her was slowly breaking away. Eventually, Hazel wanted nothing more than to run out of the palace, but after betrayals from people she thought she could trust, Hazel sought to become the person she was before entering the palace and get revenge on those who sought to take away her crown.

Confession (1)
"The queen's favourite? I doubt that," Hazel said, laughing at the silly thought.
"Laugh now and come crying to me later," Tobias said, enjoying the way Hazel failed to see what was coming.
"Why would I be the queen's favourite? Is it solely because of the attention you have been giving me? I wouldn't consider that making me her favourite. That is just her keeping an eye on where her son's interests lie. I know that she likes Helena more, but you have not been picking my sister therefore I wasn't the one sent away," Hazel said, picking up the cup of tea.
"She'll make you her favourite. Have you ever shared a kiss with a man?" Tobias asked, letting the question that was on his mind finally come out.
Hazel was thankful she had not brought the cup to her lips yet to spill the tea on her skin when taking a sip, but some of it fell onto her dress. "I thought we were enjoying that you were not some creep to make me uncomfortable and I will not be kissing you."
