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.

"Would you care for something to drink, Edgar? Or perhaps a snack? You didn't eat much for breakfast and you've been working away," said Alfred, Edgar Collins's butler. He worried that Edgar might get a headache from not eating much.
"This is the fifth time you have asked me and my answer remains the same. I am not hungry or in need of a drink. I need time to think if I wish to put money into this business idea. It could be worth it in the future and pay me handsomely or be a waste of my money," said Edgar, keeping his eyes on the paper with the money he needed to spend.
Alfred placed a cup of water down on Edgar's desk though Edgar did not want it. "It is good you work so hard, but you have enough money for yourself with your inheritance and all the businesses you have already. I might understand it better if you were looking to have more wealth for the family you intend to have."
