'You and I go hard on each other like we're going to war,' One More Night by Maroon 5
Life got tougher ever since you and Steven parted ways. He had to deal with his mother's death, and his father's insane ideas. He had no control over his situation. You, on the other hand, were chosen at birth.
They watched you as soon as you opened your beautiful eyes. They saw your first steps, heard your first words, studied every single trace of your personality, just to use it against you.
Now, you have to help them with their plans. But will you be able to break free?
"I just can't believe you would be capable of doing something like this."

A confusing turn of events surrounding a seeming internet scam leads to you inheriting an impressive house and a considerable sum of money from a distant relative. Before long, you are living in your new house in Beach City. This seems at first to be a delightful happening, but making friends in your new home turns out to be a more difficult task than you had imagined, and you are left feeling very lonely... until a surprise encounter with someone who shouldn't be up and about changes your life forever.
I will attempt not to specify the gender of the reader's character, though I will use male pronouns if I do (before anyone complains, most such stories assume the reader to be female). I apologize if the story is boring or slow-paced - it is written as I would act, and I am not really energetic, violent, or extroverted. Do not anticipate any racy content beyond possibly some wordplay and innuendo, if that. I apologize if there are massive delays between chapters; this is not a sign of me giving up on the story, it will just be because I am frequently depressed and extremely lazy.
