Chapter 1
The day was getting darker, as thunder roared, and lightening stroke.
A great storm was on its way.
Grace stood at the front of the huge company.
She sighed, looking at the part her car was suppose to take when driving in to the parking lot.
She held an umbrella on her hands, and clutch her bag with the other.
Her eyes glanced at her wrist watch and she sighed.
She was so late again.
10:13pm!!
It wasn't her fault tho, she had work tirelessly and her body ached like hell.
She looked up once more, and her car was driving in.
"Seriously Ryan?" She mumbled, with a huff.
"Good evening Boss, I'm so sorry Ma'am.
I got caught up in traffic." Her drive muttered.
"Tch! I nearly died from waiting." Grace said, with a chuckle as she got in to the car.
It's always these busy around this time in New York City.
She shrugged her shoulders, as she sat down on the back seat of the car.
"Are we going home Ma'am, or the penthouse?" Ryan asked.
She bit her lower lip, she didn't want to go to the Mansion.
Her mother would remind her about the depts she still had to pay.
Heaving a deep breath, she sighed.
" The penthouse Ryan, take me to the penthouse". She replied.
"Okay". Ryan nodded, as he ignited the engine of the car.
Grace grabbed her bag, that was in the other passenger's seat and opened the MC fashionista bag and brought out a small receipt in it.
She glanced through the paper and shook her head.
She still had a lot of people to pay off.
A lot of Dept to clear out of the table
But what would she do?
Their products was not selling like before!!
The company was a huge one, and she didn't want to close it be Cause of some small money she needed to pay off.
She clicked her tongue, taking out another sheet of paper.
She needed help.
Or else The Company would definitely fall!
Her phone rang snapping her out of the many thoughts in her head.
She sighed, and scratched her head.
Picking the call, she snorted and groaned.
"Hey! What the fúçk is Sofia?"
"It's not like I'm the monster here!!"
"Talk to your brother Troy!!"
"He personally told me, he would not count it" Grace mumbled, as she tried to stifle the chuckle that was trying to leave her mouth.
"But then, are you serious about the fact that you would seriously go to the club with out me, Gracy?" A tiny voice could be heard from the other line.
"Sorry sister, I don't think I'll be going with you." Grace said, laughing.
"Remember the crescent fall and the moon spirit.. I'll definitely bet my spirit on that nonsense." She added.
"It wasn't your fault Grace, you have to stop blaming your self, you're the one that is losing."
"And be side you did every thing to make sure it stood it's ground."
"You don't have to be so hard on your self.. sweetheart." Sofia mumbled.
"Tch, when did you get this emotional Sofia, I almost forgot it's your I'm talking to... Grace said, closing her eyes.
Yes, she was the one losing.
Her company was going down the drain... A building with lots of money.
She built it and Damn! She would not let her hard work go to waste.
"Don't give up hope sweetie, just get an investment with another company and Boom!"
"you'll be soaring in the sky." Sofia said again, making Grace laugh.
"Okay then Sofia, I'll be searching through some Investments... let's see how it goes with your way. She mumbled.
And remember to make more peanuts. Sofia giggled... as the call was already getting disconnected.
"Okay, bye Sofia.. and please do makes some lasagna." Grace muttered.
"Stupid girl." She whispered, still laughing.
"We're here Ma'am." Ryan's voice snapped her out of the nonsense Sofia had made her think.
She got out of the car and sighed.
She had to make a deal with any of the Financially stable Company soon or else they would be serious problem.
Taking her bag out, she headed for the penthouse that had a four story building.
With Glowing lights!

"Good evening Boss." The voice of the Bouncer that stood in front of McKenzie's Bar greeted, with a smile.
"Hi Rob!" A handsome guy with dark wink at the bouncer with a smile.
"You okay Brand?!" Rob asked, and the guy chuckled.
"Do I look okay?!" Brand questioned, with a raised brow.
"You look pissed, and.. may be a little late." Rob answered.
"Keep up the good work, Rob.. I'll be in side."
"Matt and the others are waiting for me." Brand said, as he walked in to the Bar.
He walked to the front table and sat down.
"Hey bro, you're late". Another voice was heard.
"Shut up Matt, I didn't leave my project just to see you talk". Brand rolled his eyes as he grabbed a shot of Morgan Rum and gulped it down.
"Earth to Brand Milo!!" Another yelled, as they all grabbed their glass and gulped down the shots.
Brand chuckled, as he grabbed another glass and gulped it down.
"Your father called bro." Matt said, laughing.
"My father!!" Brand half yelled, glaring at the guy with a blonde.
"What did he say?" Brand asked, dropping the glass..he held.
"Nothing serious dude, just said we should stop the meeting we have every Friday, so you'd concentrate on the business!"
"Damn! I almost gave in bro.. But then I knew you'd be pissed."
"He promised a huge sum of money dude." Matt said, as he kept checking the news feed of the Group.
"Shut up Matt, and don't make me pissed than before." Brand mumbled, as he frowned.
"Are you okay?" Peter asked, Staring at Brand.
"Stop staring at me like that Peter, you'll give the lady's here a bad idea." Brand chuckle, shaking his head.
"I wonder where the red heads went to?" Matt Mumbled, as he looked around.
"Don't let women be your downfall Matt, do some thing and make some thing out of this life of yours!" Peter said, causing the other duo to turn to him.
"What?" He questioned.
" Seriously!"
"I wonder why some one like you is advising some one like him" Brand huffed.
"Tch! I'm done here". Brand said, standing up as he walked to the girls at the counter.
"Hi beautiful." He winked at the redhead who had just walked in.. and already taking a shot.
"Hi handsome."
"Are you here alone?" She asked, winking at him, as she stood up from her seat and walked to his.
"Hmm... you seem like some one was rushing to come over." He chuckled, and she rolled her eyes.
"If Emerlia Drake... did rush over to Milo Decay."
"Do you think there would ever be together."
"Who knows... we might just turn to one great couple." She mumbled, swirling her glass of Becardi Rum as if it was a better drunk than that he held.
"Tch!"
"Damn! you're hot and I so much love your offer sweetie."
"But you see, I'm all about Sex with no strings attached." Brand said, as he stared at her.
Okay she was good to go.
Her busty boob, was out already in her right leather jacket.. as she pressed her hands down them, delivering them as if the were gold platter.
"You're one of a hell food." He muttered, his eyes going over her.. has he drank her in as if she was a drink.
He felt a tab on the shoulder and chuckled.
"Seriously Brandy." He heard that annoying voice and frowned.
"Hey Fabio." He mumbled, not turning to the guy that had just walked in to the bar.
"Brother." The guy named Fabio called, with a wink.
"You can take her on one condition." Brand said, as he stood up from the seat he watched.
"Hmmm, what Condition?"
"Probably, not the one I'm thinking. Right? Fabio cocked a brow.. as his lips curved in to a smile.
"Don't smile yet, till next time."Brand said, as he grabbed his glass of Morgan Rum and left the two for them selves.
"Damn!"
He needed a better àss and busty brunette that would make up the night!
"Go home Brand, there's no red head today." Matt yelled, as he gulped down his shot.
"Shut up Matt." Brand glared at the man.
His phone rang and he picked it up quickly, seeing the bold name of Mother with a love emoticon on it.
"Hello Mom." He answered, with a sigh.
"Brand baby." His mother squealed,as he removed the phone from his ear.
"Seriously Mom, my ear is really expensive." He muttered, scratching his head.
"Come home early Brand, your father is sick." His mother said, with a hiss.
"Tch." Brand sighed.
This wasn't how he planned his night to go!!
