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.

Promised kiss (3)
Tobias sat frozen, stunned by Hazel going through with the kiss. He was so caught off guard by it that he didn't make a move to go for more before Hazel started to move away from him. "That wasn't fair, Hazel. Do it again now that I am expecting it."
"Certainly not. I kept my promise and it would be wrong for you to not be satisfied and ask for more, but I am willing to make a new deal with you that involves a kiss. One less shorter," Hazel proposed.
"Name it," Tobias said, willing to do whatever she wanted to get another kiss. This one was too short for him to react and do anything. He had a feeling Hazel purposely did this and rather than being upset, he was excited. "I already agree to it."
Hazel showing her playful or rather devious side would always be fun for him to witness.
"You shouldn't be so quick to want to do whatever I have in mind. What if I plan to ask that you jump out that window for a kiss? Would you?" Hazel inquired.
