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.

"King Tobias."
Tobias looked up from where he sat to see Mark and Liam. "They sent you? Aren't you already busy looking into the Barrett family?"
"I am, but they thought it best that I come here. I am curious about what was said about missing maids. Perhaps it might reveal what happened to the missing young women," said Mark, hopeful that the other case would end.
"I don't think you will receive good news about the second case since he seemed to be killing maids, but let us remain positive. I have already sent the doctor to the dungeon. He has confessed to killing maids to be used as his tests. I must warn you about the stench of the room," Tobias said, trying to enjoy the clean air now.
