chapter One

"Mr Draven, you've got a board meeting by 1 p.m." A tall, blonde secretary said. Damon Draven, who had been sitting with his back towards her, turned and faced her.

"Oh got it, Lou," Damon said and went back to working on his laptop.

Damon stared at his computer and typed away. Being a businessman who knew nothing, but business wealth, and riches, Damon had no friends. It was difficult to see him around people.

Damon Draven was one of the richest billionaires in Brooklyn and one of the Top ten richest young men in the whole of America.

The name Damon Draven brought people to their knees wherever they heard it, especially in the business world.  At age 29, Damon was known as one of the toughest and strictest businessmen, and he was the youngest to receive the Business Man award of the year at age 25.

"Mr Damon, a Miss Betty is here to see you," Lou said as she peeped through his door and Damon looked up at her.

"Let her in." He said and Lou nodded.

Betty strolled into the office, chewing bubble gum while flaunting her eyelashes.

"To what do I owe this unwanted visit?" Damon asked, not looking up at all.

"Oh come on Damon, don't be like that," Betty said and sat across him. She crossed her legs and Damon looked up at her.

"What do you want, Bet?" Damon said dropped his pen, and reclined in his chair.

"I came to see you, Damon. Isn't it obvious?" Betty said and Damon rolled his eyes.

"Last I checked, you and I only had a one-night stand so I don't understand what you want from me," Damon said and Betty giggled.

"That's the point.  I know it was just a one-night stand, but I can't seem to stop wanting you." Betty said and Damon erupted into a loud laughter.

"Betty. Listen up. I don't do relationships. Never. And even if I wanted to have a relationship, it wouldn't be  a random whore I picked from the street." Damon said and Betty's face folded into a frown. "I'm not interested in you, will never be interested in you. Just so you know. Now if you don't have any more to say, get out of my office. Damon said and Betty's face became red with anger.

Betty said nothing and walked out of the office quietly. Damon went back to work and then he checked the time and saw it was time for Lunch.

"Oh shit, I'm starving." He said, and at that very moment, Lucas, his best friend and Legal adviser, strolled in.

"If it isn't Playboy Lucas," Damon said dryly and Lucas chuckled.

"Look who is talking'. I heard Betty showed up here at the office." Lucas said and Damon rolled his eyes and relaxed his back in the chair.

"Oh please, Lucas. Do not bring up that girl's name right now. The thought of it is making me angry." Damon said and Lucas laughed.

"What did she say?" Lucas asked.

"She said that she knows that it was just a one-night stand, but she wants more. More? I know she's looking for a way to attach herself to me, because of my status and riches. Damon said and Lucas chuckled.

"I told you, that girl was sick in the head. Did you listen to me? Your horniness was leading you and now you've gotten yourself entangled with a crazy bitch." Lucas said and Damon groaned.

"Oh stop already. I can't take any more of this Betty talk. Let's go grab a coffee, yeah?" Damon said and Lucas smiled.

"Yeah, sure."

You might be wondering, why would he go out to get his own coffee?

Damon's coffee had been poisoned two years ago, by his secretary, But that couldn't stop him from drinking coffee, so he decided to go get his coffee himself.

"I heard there's a new coffee place around," Lucas said and Damon looked at him.

"Where?" Damon asked.

"Down the road. Just three blocks away ".  Lucas said. "They've got really good coffee, and their waitresses are fucking pretty," Lucas said with a wink and Damon sighed.

"Fucking pervert," Damon muttered with a low chuckle and Lucas laughed.

Walking down the streets, the sounds of cameras clicking and camera lights flashing were heard. It wasn't an uncommon thing for Damon to be seen walking around the area, but every time it happened it was always something that ladies present looked forward to. Damon was an international celebrity, it would be strange if nobody took his pictures when he was taking a walk.

Damon and Lucas arrived at the coffee shop. They sat down and Damon looked around.

"Oh look, they've got baked foods. I guess we would be having lunch here after all." Lucas said and Damon said nothing.

Damon didn't say anything throughout, if anything he was trying to exhibit some coldness.

Suddenly, a girl dashed into the restaurant.

"Hey Sarah, you're late. Again." One of the waitresses said.

"I know, I know. I had to go pick Alex up from preschool and keep him with a friend while I came to work. I'm sorry. It won't happen again." The girl named Sarah said. Damon stared at her. She looked familiar for some reason, but he just couldn't place his finger on it. He looked away as she came towards their table.

"Good afternoon. I'm sorry for the slight delay." Sarah said and brandished a perfect smile. "What would you like to order?" She said and Lucas looked at Damon.

"We would like two cups of Americano's, Not iced. And some glazed doughnuts." Lucas said and Sarah nodded.

"Alright, Coming right up," Sarah said with a small smile and walked away.

"Dude, you've been staring at her for some minutes. You're interested in her?" Lucas asked and Damon stared at him.

"You think I'm you who goes after every darned thing in a skirt?" Damon said and Lucas laughed.

"hey, is there anything like a good playboy, or bad playboy? Play boys are the same, bro, and you my man, are also a play boy." Lucas said and Damon laughed.

Sarah appeared with a tray with two cups of coffee and two plates of mini glazed doughnuts.

"Bon appetite." She said and walked away with a small smile.

Lucas's phone started to ring and he picked it up.

"Yes, Lucas Ferdinand speaking," Lucas said.

"What?!" Lucas said in shock. "We'll return to the office in a few minutes," Lucas said and ended the call.

"Why, what's the problem?" Damon asked and Lucas stared at him.

"Betty, just fell to her death, from the last floor of the building," Lucas said and Damon dropped his cup.

"What?!"
