Prologue

Four years…for almost four years he's been watching them. He's been watching his sons with their families and their happy lives. Both of them with their wives and children…it really pisses him off.

They don't deserve to be so happy. It's not fair. I would be happy now if it weren't for them and their damn…independence. If Karen had just gotten an abortion when I told her to, I would never had to deal with Lucas and Nathan would've never met Haley. Oh…how I hate her too.

Nathan had become so independent after he started seeing her. She had helped him emancipate himself from Deb and me. And Deb…she would've never left me if Nathan had just stayed. And we would still be married…maybe even happy. But we're not, and I'm not.

No…now I'm forced to isolate myself from the rest of Tree Hill. I live in hiding away from them all because I'm supposed to be dead. They all think I'm gone, that I died in that accident when I tried to take James away from them. But I survived. I used plan B when I knew there was no escaping and I faked my death. I paid that doctor to tell the cops I'd died. It worked like a charm…no one has come looking for me.

And being dead definitely is helping me plan my revenge. Nathan and Lucas ruined my life. They took everything away from me…everything I could've had. And now I'm going to take everything away from them…. sweet revenge is mine!
