He stood alone, and his vibrant blue eyes scanned the horizon, as if he
were looking for something . . . or someone. The cold morning fog on the
gray waters of Elliott Bay hampered his view, but the lonely, broadshouldered man didn’t seem to notice. Haggard lines were etched across his
forehead and an errant lock of dark brown hair was caught in the Pacific
breeze. Noah Wilder didn’t care. Though dressed only in a business suit, the
icy wind blowing across Puget Sound couldn’t cool the anger and
frustration burning within him.
Realizing that he had wasted too much time staring at the·endlessly
lapping water, he began to walk along the waterfront, back to a job he could
barely stomach. He gritted his teeth in determination as he continued
southward and tried to quiet the anger and fear that were tearing him apart.
Just half an hour earlier he had been notified that his son was missing from
school. It had happened before.
Noah closed his mind to the terrifying
thoughts. By now, he was used to the fact that his rebellious son hated
school—especially the school into which he had been transferred just two
months before. Noah hoped that Sean wasn’t in any real trouble or danger.
He paused only once as he walked back to the office and that was to buy
a newspaper. Knowing it was a mistake, he opened the paper to the
financial section. Although this time the article was buried, Noah managed
to find it on the fourth page. After all this time, he had hoped that the
interest in the scandal would have faded. He was wrong. “Damn,” he
muttered to himself as he quickly scanned the story.
It had been four weeks since the fire, but that had been time enough for
Noah Wilder to have the opportunity to curse his father too many times to
count. Today was no exception. Actually the fire and the scandal
surrounding it were only a couple of problems on a long list that seemed to
grow daily. The fire and the suspected arson complicated matters for Noah,
and until the entire business was resolved, he knew that he would suffer
many more long hours in the office and endure countless sleepless nights. It
was just his luck that the blaze had started while his father was out of the
country. At the thought of Ben Wilder, Noah’s frown deepened.
The early morning was still thick with fog, the air thick with the smell of
the sea. A few shafts of sunlight pierced the gray clouds and reflected on
the water collected on the concrete sidewalk, but Noah was too preoccupied
with his own black thoughts to notice the promise of spring in the brisk air.
An angry horn blared, and a passing motorist shouted indignantly at
Noah as he stepped onto the street against the traffic. He ignored the oath
and continued, without breaking stride, toward the massive concrete and
steel structure that housed Wilder Investments, his father’s prosperous
holding company. Damn his father! This was one helluva time for Ben to be
recuperating in Mexico, leaving Noah to clean up all of the problems at the
company.
