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.

Helena reluctantly opened the door to let Hazel inside so they could talk. Maybe this time they might reconcile so she wouldn't continue to feel the way she was now. She felt terrible like she was an evil person.
Once she was alone and could go over the things she said to her mother, she realised how wrong she had been. Helena had never spoken back to her mother, raised her voice, or so much as whispered that she hated anyone in the mansion.
Helena turned away from Hazel to try fixing her appearance. No one should ever see how much of a mess it was after she cried her eyes out.
Hazel closed and locked the door behind them so they wouldn't be disturbed. Helena would start crying again if someone were to see her face now.
Hazel followed Helena to the bed to sit on it so they could talk there. "Stop trying to hide your face from me, Helena. I've seen your ugly face many times. I am used to it."
