Los Angeles is fucking lit tonight. That was the only thought in my head
as I stood twenty-seven stories up on the roof deck of the city’s newest
and hottest high-rise hotel, overlooking our famous skyline. Jenner, my
middle brother, was the attorney who had represented the closing, and
everyone who was anyone had come out this evening to celebrate the grand
opening.
Not only was this a huge win for Jenner, but for The Dalton Group as
well—the law firm my parents had started over twenty years ago, where my
brothers and I were now partners. We represented some of the largest-earning
corporations and individuals in the world. In my case, concentrating solely on
entertainment law, I was surrounded by many of my clients, this event like a
mini version of the goddamn Oscars.
“Jenner has come a long way,” Brett Young, my best friend, said. He was
next to me on the balcony, nodding toward my brother, who was schmoozing
with the CEO of a massive online retailer. “I remember when we were in law
school, that motherfucker still had zits all over his forehead. Now, instead of
carrying textbooks, he’s got multimillion-dollar contracts in his hands,
closing transactions like this one every day, from here to fucking Dubai.”
Brett pointed at Ford, my youngest brother.
“And the baby in the family?
Man, I definitely didn’t anticipate him being the first one in our group to
father a child.” He smirked. “Certainly not before me or you.” His eyes
caught mine. “I think you wake up every morning, hoping like hell that some
woman doesn’t come banging on your door, asking for a paternity test.”
I laughed in agreement. “Isn’t that the fucking truth?”
Before Brett had met James Ryne, one of the highest-paid actresses in
Hollywood, he had lived the same lifestyle as me. Bachelor brothers was
what we used to call ourselves. But now, they were engaged, and he was
more whipped than a sub.
He clinked his glass against mine, and we downed what liquor was left.
Immediately, a waitress appeared to hand us refills.
He held his scotch over the side of the railing, balancing the liquor in the
air.
I did the same, sighing as I gazed at all the twinkling lights below. “It’s
been a hell of a run for us so far, and we’re only getting started.”
When Brett and his buddies had opened The Agency—a firm of agents
representing actors, athletes, and musicians—I had just passed the bar, and
we would refer clients to one another. Now, all these years later, we sat in
many of the same meetings, negotiating deals for the top earners in the
business.
