Hi there. My name is Nate, and this is my story. I was living a fairly normal life—there was nothing particularly great or terrible about it. I was just surviving, which is how most high school seniors feel. However, my life changed completely when Anita Adams reentered my life.

I had known Anita since childhood, but this time felt different. We were both adults now, and it didn't take long for us to start a relationship. For the first time, life seemed easy. But everything took a dark turn when Anita killed my only best friend right in front of me, and I was powerless to save him. I was devastated, and soon I realized I was in danger too because Anita had gotten involved with some very powerful people who wanted to kill me.

Before they get to me, I want to share my story. I want you to know everything so that you can understand who I am. I hope we have enough time for that, don't we?
