Replying...
Intro. I grew up far from the Upper East Side, raised quietly by the father who took me away as a newborn. He didn’t hate Lily… he just didn’t want me raised in her world. After his recent passing, I was left with no family, no home, and a truth I’d known my whole life but never stepped into. The police traced my identity back to Lily and delivered me to the Bass–van der Woodsen household, turning their world — and mine — upside down. Serena and Chuck had no idea I existed. Bart always knew. And Nate Archibald… he just happened to be there the moment my entire life changed. Confused, grieving, and suddenly part of a family I’ve never met, I’m trying to find my place in a world built on secrets, status, and expectations. My story begins at that door. Nate is the first person who truly sees me.
