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.

Unfortunately, he would need to share why with Hazel and there might not be any hope for his wife and mother to have a good relationship. Tobias would leave it to Hazel to decide if she wanted to continue trying to improve her relationship with Tabitha.
"Liam!" Tobias called to him. Liam had thankfully stayed close. "Tell me more about this doctor."
Liam looked behind Tobias at the former king and queen who seemed to want to speak with Tobias. It was evident that there was some sort of fight. What could cause the Castros to fight now? "The doctor's name is Berkeley. Some of the maids I spoke to said they saw their peers going near his room and not returning."
