Blake stared into the river, lost in the gently meandering water. The sun shimmered on its surface like liquid fire, stirred by the breeze which blew upstream. The trees rustled, the birds sang, and if he really tried he could convince himself that he was back home, a kid again, ready to ride his bike down the hill with his friends.

Then he heard voices, and reality came crashing back down like a demolished building. He glanced over his shoulder to see a group of people walking up the path, talking excitedly about something. He pulled his cap down, adjusted his glasses, and watched the river until he was sure they were gone. He’d been lucky so far, the taxi had carried him through a throng of reporters right to the main parking lot, and he’d made it to the river without being identified. It wouldn’t be long before somebody worked out it was him, but he couldn’t quite face the thought of walking into the building yet.

Because somebody in there was his mortal enemy.

They were trying to destroy him. Not his life, but everything his life stood for. It might be too late to stop it, but he at least had to find out who it was.

He closed his eyes, and visions of Ellie appeared there. She lifted herself onto her tiptoes and offered her lips to him and he kissed her the way he’d kissed her in the elevator. It had been so unexpected, but at the same time he’d known she was going to do it, almost as if he’d been able to read her mind. It was the most unlikely scenario for a kiss. He’d just had the worst news of his life—apart from the day he’d found out that his mother had died—and his self-confidence was at an all-time low. All had seemed lost. But then she’d kissed him, and it was as if she’d given him some of her strength, some of her vitality. Suddenly there was hope again.

I don’t know who sent you, he’d said to her, and he meant it. It was almost as if some divine force had caused Ellie Mae Woodward to be walking along this very path yesterday, a force that had wanted their fates to collide. Sophie had called them old souls, and he had known instantly what she meant. Some souls have wandered the earth for a long time, searching for each other. And when they meet, they are already in love.

Then why did you let her go? he asked himself.

The answer was obvious. The answer was right here. There was only room for one thing inside his head right now, inside his heart, and that was the business he had spent his whole adult life building. He had to save it, and he had to help the people who worked for him.

Besides, he was now one of the most hated men in America. Even if he managed to find out who had done this to him, and even if he managed to prove his innocence, he would always be tainted.
