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 opened the carriage door for Hazel in a hurry. He didn't know how but their conversation suddenly turned to Hazel questioning about what he did with one of the candidates of the selection in the library. It wasn't something he wanted to share with his wife when she was upset already, and he was going to make her more upset by leaving her here.
"We've arrived at the steps, so I think it is time we cut this conversation short. Let me get the door for you," Tobias said, hopping out of the carriage to make a grand escape.
Hazel wasn't finished with their conversation about the young woman he entertained in the selection. "Yes, you do that."
Hazel didn't care to know about his past flings, but she was curious about the rumour she heard about when she first entered the selection. Tobias had claimed to have no interest in the selection before her, but he had fun with someone else.
