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.

Tobias never thought there would be a day that he would think of sending his mother to the palace dungeon, a place not suited for her, but it was her fault that this was being considered. What couldn't she understand about not wanting to speak of this now?
"Tobias," Jeffrey warned. "Now is not the time."
"Ha," Tobias released a dry laugh. "You say that now after I advise her that now is not the time? I am sick of her pushing the limit and you allowing it to happen. This is my palace now. I don't need to listen to either of you."
"You can still respect our opinion," Tabitha said. Just because they were no longer king and queen did not mean that they shouldn't have opinions which were to be heard.
