From the supplied context, Nate is hiding several things:
- A charming public persona that masks a controlling and violent side.
- A secret life involving blackmail and violence tied to his father Cal’s hidden sexuality (Season 1).
- A secret affair with Cassie that escalates in Season 2 and damages friendships (notably Maddy’s and Cassie’s).
Together, these elements show he presents a façade while concealing abusive, manipulative behavior and clandestine relationships.
