After being brought back to the wealthy Litt family, Elsa Litt endures constant disdain and bullying from her parents and three brothers—all for the sake of their beloved adopted daughter, Stacy Litt. On the eve of her SATs, Elsa is falsely accused and thrown into juvie for a hit-and-run crime actually committed by Stacy. When the SAT results are released, Elsa walks out of juvie due to lack of evidence—only to be met with her brothers' scorn and ridicule.The metal door clanged shut behind me, the sound echoing like a tomb sealing. Rain slashed down as I stepped onto the cracked sidewalk, my SAT results crumpled in my fist—the only proof I hadn’t wasted the last two weeks of my life in this hellhole.\n\nMy brothers leaned against the black SUV, smirking under the awning. 'Look who’s back,' Jared said, tossing a plastic bag at my feet. Inside: the clothes I wore the night of the accident. 'Mom says you’re not allowed in the house until you’ve been 'cleansed.' Her words, not mine.'\n\nLucas laughed. 'Too bad the cops couldn’t prove you did it. We all know you’re trash.'\n\nI stared at them, water soaking through my shirt. They didn’t know about the dashcam footage I’d already found. Or that Stacy had forgotten to wipe her burner phone.\n\nNow I had to decide: play victim one more time—or start playing to win.
