"Veins of Fire: The Hidden Queen"
Chapter 1: The Three Families
The city of Verona Heights glimmered with wealth, mystery, and shadows. Behind the glass towers and the empire of riches stood three powerful families — the Smiths, the Hudsons, and the Browns. They weren’t just business tycoons; they were rulers of an underworld so secret, even the government feared their whispers.
Darvid Smith (father of hazel)
A man whose smile could charm anyone but whose silence could kill. He carried an aura of mystery, a father feared in business and mafia alike
Serina Smith (mother of hazel)
A mother with a warm heart and deadly mind. She was known for her kindness, yet she could destroy entire empires if anyone dared touch her family.
Their daughter, calm, brilliant, calculative. She was the hidden gem, the one no one noticed, yet she noticed everything
Sira Smith (Fl adoptive step sis)
The step-sister. Beautiful, bold, and manipulative. She hated living in Hazel’s shadow, even though Hazel never competed.
Jack Hudson (father of David)
Cold, calculative, with eyes that seemed to pierce souls, love his wife ,love his family but doesn't show can do anything for family
Helina Hudson (mother of David)
– A mysterious woman who knew more than she spoke.
-Their son. Cold to everyone, even his own family. Yet, deep inside, he craved something he never admitted — love.
Elias Brown (father of steven)
– A man of honor, respected for his intelligence.
Rose Brown (mother of steven)
Gentle, graceful, with an aura of trust.
Steven Hudson (ML & FL bff)
Their son. The sunshine in darkness, kind-hearted, thoughtful, the one who always tried to heal broken hearts.
💫 What made these families unique was not just their power, but their bond. Darvid, Jack, and Elias had been college friends, their wives too — a friendship bound by loyalty, secrets, and blood. Naturally, their children grew up together, playing in the same gardens, studying in the same schools.
But what no one knew was that within these innocent friendships lay the seeds of jealousy, betrayal, forbidden love, and war.
Hazel and Steven had always shared a soft bond. His kindness calmed her, her silence intrigued him. David, however, watched from a distance, his cold heart secretly beating faster whenever Hazel was near. And then there was Sira — her heart poisoned by envy, desperate to have what Hazel had, no matter the cost.
The three families smiled in public, raising glasses of champagne 🍷, celebrating success. But in the shadows, their empires thrived on danger, betrayal, and power
And in the center of it all stood Hazel — the girl destined to be queen of both love and fire 🔥👑.

Chapter 2: Shadows of Childhood
The garden of the Smith mansion bloomed with roses 🌹, their fragrance spreading through the warm afternoon. Children’s laughter echoed, but hidden within those innocent sounds were seeds of rivalry and unspoken emotions.
Hazel sat quietly under the oak tree, a book resting on her lap. She wasn’t like other kids — while most played hide and seek, she preferred reading, memorizing every line as though her mind was a vault. Her dark eyes glimmered with calm intelligence, yet her silence often made people think she was fragile.
Steven Hudson (ML & FL bff)
“Hazel, come join us!” Steven called out
Steven Hudson (ML & FL bff)
( his cheerful voice breaking the stillness. He was chasing butterflies 🦋 with his usual energy. His smile, warm and unshakable, always managed to bring a faint curve to Hazel’s lips.)
Before Hazel could respond, Sira grabbed Steven’s arm.
Sira Smith (Fl adoptive step sis)
“Why do you always call her? She’s boring. Play with me instead.” Her voice carried a sharpness, coated with sweetness only adults believed.
Sira’s beauty shone even as a child — golden curls, bright eyes, and a mischievous grin. But inside her, envy simmered.
Hazel Smith (FL)
Hazel lowered her gaze, pretending not to hear. She had long understood Sira’s dislike, but she never fought back. To Hazel, silence was more powerful than words.
David Hudson (Ml)
David stood by the fountain, watching the scene. His face was unreadable, lips pressed into a thin line.
Unlike Steven, he rarely spoke, but his eyes often followed Hazel. Even at a young age, something about her calm, cold nature pulled him in — though he’d never admit it.
Steven Hudson (ML & FL bff)
“Hazel doesn’t need to run to be strong,” Steven suddenly said, surprising both girls. “She’s… different. Special.”
Hazel Smith (FL)
His innocent words made Hazel blink in surprise. For the first time that day, a tiny smile curved her lips 😊.
Sira Smith (Fl adoptive step sis)
Sira’s face, however, burned with silent rage. Special? The word stabbed her heart. Why was Hazel always seen as the “special one” when she did nothing?
That evening, as the three families gathered for dinner at the long marble table, Hazel’s mother, Serina, proudly placed a cake Hazel had baked herself 🍰. Everyone praised the taste. Steven even clapped, his eyes glowing with admiration.
