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 (2)
"Did I finally break you? If I had known this would make you silent, I would have told you I liked you years ago. It wouldn't have been true, but I would have won our arguments. Hazel," Tobias called again as the silence started bothering him. "It cannot be that surprising. Look at how much I have gone out of the way to be near you."
"I had the thought you might like me, but then I dismissed it. It still felt like you picking me was all a game. You are so playful that I don't know if I should believe you now," Hazel honestly replied.
She didn't feel the same way to respond that she liked him. She only felt comfortable around Tobias. There weren't any sparks that she had noticed.
"I've never faked my feelings for anyone, Hazel. I will never say that I like someone that I don't. I like you," Tobias repeated, this time as serious as he could.
