Chapter Ten

Sebastian

Secrets were hiding in the intricate crosshatch pattern of streets that wove between downtown buildings in Los Angeles. Old and new tales waiting to be told, if you just stopped long enough and listened.

Dawn broke just after five thirty that morning, and the sun rose fully twenty minutes later. By then, the whispers stopped, and anyone interested in hearing the riddles would have to wait until tomorrow for another chance to get in on the magic.

It was my favorite part of the day, and it was well worth getting up early to experience it. My driver had learned years ago to fuel up the car the night before, and he did the same for himself, stocking his cup holder with a venti Americano for the journey.

I watched the streets below my building yawn and stretch and come to life with the first commuters arriving to work.

What did my day have in store for me?

I’d finally gotten a good night’s sleep—the first since the shit-show dinner with Abbigail Gibson. I’d vowed not to waste another minute analyzing the subject of her. In any form at all.

My initial consideration that she was too young for me to be involved with was validated that evening after she left my home. I was better off putting the whole Ms. Gibson experience in a tidy storage box marked Goodwill.

I’d set it out by the curb next to the other unused charitable efforts.

It was time to refocus my valuable time and energy on what mattered most. The Edge. It was everything to me. Everything. And as I looked down at the streets below, watching humans move about, the familiar excitement returned.

In less than two years, thousands of people would flock to my building, my dream—my legacy—to spend their day working, shopping, and playing. Sebastian Shark and the Edge would become household names. Synonymous with Gucci and Rolls Royce.

The best part would be the secret behind the success. The story the streets of Los Angeles knew but others didn’t. Because they never stopped long enough to listen or cared enough to ask.

When I watched the city below, in the quiet hours, I knew there were others like me. I knew the streets whispered hardship and pain. And I knew those who overcame the adversity life had dealt them would rise above the storm and find success.

The Edge would be more than just another icon in the city’s skyline. When my story was finally heard, it would resonate with underdogs everywhere. Boys in the projects would relate to my childhood, and young entrepreneurs would connect to my business acumen. My persona would speak to everyone on their own personal journeys for success, and the Edge would be the physical symbol that represented it all.

It gave me a hard-on just thinking about it, and if I had a willing body to fuck, I would. I needed to blow off the excess energy surging through my system. I was on a career and life high, and I needed an outlet for it all.
