Thank you, dear reader.
Itâs good to be back.
CHAPTER ONE
STAVROS NIKOLIDES WAS DEAD.
Alexios Kyriakos balled his hands into fists as he read the online news report. The man his father had looked up to and trusted like no other, the man who had subsequently betrayed him and left him broken and shattered, had suffered a massive heart attack while partying on his yacht, his life snuffed out between a magnum of champagne and his bikini-clad mistress.
Dead.
It should be enough.
He stood, unable to digest the news sitting down, the muscles in his long legs itching for action, and carrying him to the wall of glass that looked out across the city of Athens to the Acropolis where the ruins of the Parthenon baked under a relentlessly hot Greek sun.
The gods had exacted their revenge.
It should be enough.
Except that it wasnât.
Instead Alexios felt cheated. Denied the opportunity to yank Stavrosâs diamond-encrusted life out from beneath him. Denied the opportunity to balance the scales on his own terms, when vengeance had been so damned close he could taste it.
Where was the revenge heâd promised his father on his deathbed? Where was the levelling of the score heâd worked towards these last ten years? Heâd never once begged the gods to solve his problems. Heâd stood on his own two feet and looked after himself from day one. Why now had they intervened and stolen the vengeance he had worked so hard for?
He stared up at the mount, teeming with sweltering tourists, as if the answer lay there, amidst the ruins of the Parthenon and the Temple of Athena Nike. And a switch flicked in his head.
