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 was awoken by the sound of someone flipping the pages of a book. She couldn't feel Tobias's arm around her and feared that he might have left her so she sat up to look for him only to find he was the one making the noise.
"Did I wake you? These pages keep making too much noise. I will stop," Tobias said, closing the large book.
"You don't need to stop. What time is it?" Hazel asked. There was still daylight creeping through the window so she hadn't slept till night.
"I don't know," Tobias said, realising how much he had lost track of time. "I will find out for you. It's time that you eat something."
"Just wait. You don't have to leave. Tobias, why did you create a mess with your books again? You can't treat them this way," Hazel said, horrified by the mess Tobias created. 'Would it hurt you to be tidy with your work?"
Tobias looked around at what he thought to be organised. "Everything is where I need it to be. There is no mess."
