Chapter 1

Thessaloniki, Greece

Present day…

Leonidis Moustakas, known to friends and family alike as Leo, stared at his father in disbelief. “What do you mean, the search is over?”

Vasil Moustakas, the current CEO of Moustakas Shipping and Leo’s father, declined to respond.

Leo was left to speculate the reason behind his devastating words, just as the corporate attorney and other employees in the boardroom were. He shook his head in disbelief. They’re no longer going to search for Alexi? How can that be?

His twin brother, Alexi, was lost at sea. His yacht disappeared in the South Pacific Ocean. It was three weeks since anyone had heard from him. The transponder beacon had long since stopped transmitting any sort of signal. A freak storm was to blame. While Alexi was an excellent sailor, he’d not been able to weather the sudden storm. He’d only had two crew members with him, long-time employees of the Moustakas family. Leo and his parents had done everything they could to give the families of the others hope, but it seemed they had none left for themselves. Aparádektos! This cannot be happening!

“We have to keep looking,” Leo insisted. “We have it narrowed down to a hundred square miles—”

“Of open ocean with several currents. Not to mention the storms that have been through there since his last transmission. It is like looking for a mustard seed on a sandy beach. It’s simply adýnatos—impossible.” The man in charge of the search gave them all a sympathetic look and shook his head. “It simply can’t be done. After this many weeks…there would be no survivors.”

His father looked at Leo, unshed tears in his eyes. “Your brother is not coming back. It is time to deal with that and move forward.” Vasil Moustakas was a proud man and, at the age of sixty-nine, one of the most powerful and wealthiest men in this part of Greece. He and his brother had built their shipping company into an empire, one Alexi had been thrilled to take over one day.

Over the last few years, Leo had been forced to give up some of his playtime in order to help his brother manage the growing shipping empire. Alexi had expanded the company to the Middle East, and then to Russia. Now they were heavily present in Asia, a truly international company and one of the wealthiest in all of Greece. Leo had taken over some aspects of their European market, but now it looked like even more responsibility was going to fall on him.

“The board needs your brother’s stock certificates before we can move forward.” Vasil’s tone was weary. “I’ve had his housekeeper search the house here.”

Leo shrugged. “They are probably in his safety deposit box.”

The attorney shook his head. “We’ve already emptied that and the safe at his apartment. The stock certificates were nowhere to be found.”

Leo’s brow wrinkled. “I don’t understand. Where else could they be?”

The attorney answered, “Your brother conducted most of the company business from his home in Paris. Your parents believe he must have taken papers he considered important there.
