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.

Hazel sat alone, overthinking Tobias's words while she waited for Mary. She was eager to be intimate with him again, but now it was evident that it wouldn't be like their first time. It made her nervous as she tried to think about his plan.
Tobias sitting in front of her with a gaze fixated on her and a smile that would not go away did not make this any better. His fingers tapping against the chair arm as he counted down Mary's arrival was the only thing Hazel heard.
"Nervous?" Tobias asked, enjoying how frazzled Hazel was. He wasn't going to take back his words to calm her mind as he meant what he said.
"How could I not be when you are staring at me so intently? That must be Mary," Hazel said after a knock was heard. "I will get it."
Hazel hurried to the door before Tobias could make any attempt to beat her to it.
"I shall be waiting in our bedroom," she heard him.
