【 SUMMARY 】

Lana Parsons had it all–hot boyfriend, doting parents, more money than any teenager could need–until she had nothing. Not even her life.

When suicide is ruled out, all fingers point to the deceased's ex-boyfriend, Duncan Reed. Case closed. But it's never that simple.

Daddy Parsons won't settle for juvie. No, not when the victim is his little princess. He wants Duncan tried as an adult, giving the boy six months to prove his innocence before facing a court made up of the Parsons very own money slaves. 

It's no surprise that when a new rebellious redhead enters the throng and offers to help him in exchange for his help, Duncan accepts. But, as always, it's never that simple.

【 AUTHOR'S NOTE 】

Welcome if you're new and welcome back if you're not! All of you original fans are probably super confused. Yes, I unpublished everything. Yes, I redid the cast. And the welcome. And the aesthetics. Yes, I rewrote the majority of this story. I'm sorry. Partially just because I want all my stories to have the same pretty opening aesthetics, but also because I finally realized that I'm such a people pleaser and accepted more characters than I can write. It was getting to the point that I felt like I was writing the plot around the characters to make sure everyone was seen which ended up making it cringe and all over the place. So yes, full revamp required. I'm sorry if your character got booted to side character rather than main, I assure you it's nothing personal, I just want this book to be as good as possible. Forgive me, my loves.

A few other things to note before reading:

This is my own original work. Please do not copy or translate without permission, that is plagiarism. Credits to the characters creators! Thank you for helping keep bring Crestview to life.

Please be patient with me! I (unfortunately) have a life outside of wattpad and that can lead to slow updates. I also have a chronic disability to focus on only one work at a time which also slows me down, so just be patient! I do announce every update on my mb so if you'd like a notification, feel free to drop a follow!

I want everyone to be comfortable with my stories, thus I do not swear or write smut scenes! Call me weird, call me prude, call me whatever you want! If that's not for you, feel free to leave the story rather than leave hate comments please and thanks! I want to maintain a positive environment within my stories!

I will try to add trigger warnings to the beginning of each chapter! I am in no way trying to romanticize any of these issues. Don't read if any of it will be triggering to you!! Please know that I'm happy to talk to you about anything and everything so if you need a listening ear, you know where to go.

Last thing, if you couldn't tell, I l o v e my readers! Please comment, I love getting to know you and I read them all, even if I don't reply! If you're not a huge commenter, I still love you, but I'd still love to know who's reading!
