Lewana POV
“Let’s start by discussing your crimes. Shall we?“.
Anthony is arrogant as ever. “You think you have anything on us?“.
I smile back smugly. “Let’s start with the first crime. Rigging the Luna Queen
favour“.

Anthony just smirked back. “I just made suggestions of candidates. Who they entered was entirely up
to them“.
“And the business deals that were made to secure Cordelia’s votes from the council“.
“Councilmen make deals all the time to build rtions. That’s coincidental, not corrtion.
I just smile. “Of course it is. Second crime. Conspiracy to cover up several counts of involuntary
manughter for aiding William in hiding his crimes in the building copse, which he was
responsible for due to viting building regtions.
“That can only be charged if I knew before or at the time of the incident. I only knew afterwards and was scared for my and my family’s safety. He is a hardened criminal after all“.
This is going exactly as I thought it would. “Third crime. Sexual assault. Cordelia got into bed naked with someone who didn’t want her there. She also tried to film a sex tape without consent“.
Sheughs at me and puts on this innocent mocking tone. “He wanted me there. He doesn’t
remember that conversation, so there is no proof otherwise“.
I knew she wasn’t as dumb as she yed. She is just as skilled at this as her father.

“Fourth and fifth crime. Abduction and human trafficking. You aided in my kidnapping, then Cordelia faked a pregnancy and bought my pup to pass off on her own“.
I see them gulp at this, but they still remain calm. “There is no evidence of who took <b>you</b>, and there is no record of a transaction as proof of purchase“.
“Sixth and thest crime. Treason. Conspiring with the Malik, the self–proimed rogue King <b>to </b>take the throne and murder Alpha King Conrad“.
Anthony just snarls at me. “Never heard of the name. Do you <b>have </b><b>any </b>proof of correspondence? <b>Any </b>details of this so<b>–</b>called n?“.
<b>“</b>I met him several times <b>while </b>I <b>was </b><b>being </b><b>held</b>. He told me <b>all </b><b>about </b><b>his </b><b>ns</b>. <b>Quite </b><b>presumptuous </b>
of him to think I wouldn’t be rescued“.
“I’m sure you were just traumatised. You’ve always been mentally unstable. All that trauma and istion living as a rogue. Your word can’t be trusted“.
I startughing. They are so predictable. I had all the time in the world to think while was in that cage. That’s when I realised everything they did was just on the edge, or they did it it a way that left little evidence. They could deny everything all they wanted, as it didn’t matter.
“While I was in the cage you helped put me in, I decided instead of trying you for legal system, I should use your method. Trying you in the court of public opinion“.
I take the remote from the table and turn on the recording I had made.
The news reels start, and the anchor starts talking as they watch on with morbid curiosity.
the
“In breaking news this morning, Billionaire Conrad Strongheart has released a video online letting the world know that the missing woman Lewana Jones, aka Eve Jones, has been found safe and sound. There was much spection around why there was arge reward for information on her whereabouts, and that question has now been answered. She is Mr Strongheart’s fiancée.
What’s even more shocking is the person behind her abduction. Social media influencer and the daughter of businessman Anthony Taylor, Cordelia Taylor. Many posts on her social media implied she was Mr Strongheart’s girlfriend, but new evidence shows she was suffering from the delusional mental health disorder of erotomania, where she believed she was in a rtionship with Mr Strongheart.
ording to sources, she suffered a mental breakdown after she found out that the new power couple was expecting twins, and she kidnapped Miss Jones with the n to take her ce“.
“NNNOOOOO“. Cordelia screams Warm my soul and she starts to struggle against the restraints. On the screen<b>, </b>an AI video of her ys being led away to a mental facility for criminals with mental health disorders. She’s in white pajamas, hair a mess<b>, </b>makeup smeared across her face, and screaming that I’m the criminal and she the real fiancée.
Her face turns to me, red from fury and pure rage in her eyes. “That’s nder and defamation. I will
destroy you“.
“But everything I said is true. Evidence of my and Conrad’s rtionship is online, along with your posts contradicting it. You would have to prove you knew Conrad, and you never stood a chance<b>. </b>
<b>“</b>But those videos are fake“.
<b>I </b><b>reply </b><b>in </b>the <b>same </b>mocking <b>tone </b>she gave me earlier<b>. </b><b>“</b><b>Prove </b><b>it</b><b>“</b>.
<b>She </b><b>slumps </b><b>down </b><b>in </b><b>the </b>chair<b>, </b><b>and </b><b>I </b><b>can </b><b>see </b><b>her </b><b>mind </b><b>frantically </b><b>racing </b><b>to </b><b>find </b><b>a </b><b>solution</b>. <b>But </b><b>while </b>
she’s in here. She has no options. No ess to anymunication to counter the damage I am
doing to her image.
“Anthony<b>, </b>just so you know. It also came out that you knew about your daughter’s disorder and did nothing about it. Your business partners are meeting to discuss your ability to run yourpany, and as per the use you wrote into all your contracts, if someone is deemed to have or judgment, their share will be surrendered and split among the others. Alpha King has also approved every one of your pack transfer requests that were submitted after you refused to vote for me, and the Shining Moon pack has been dissolved. Your son was actually thrilled at this, as he new want Alpha, so he is selling your assets so he can travel the world and resettle somewhere and her boyfriend of a year“.

All the colour has drained from his face. I watch as it contorts as he tries to think of a way out. Take stock of what he and his daughter have left. He tries onest desperate plea.
“We can give you Malik. Let us go now, and we can aid in his destruction“.
I let out a coldugh. “We don’t trust you. Also, you’re not high enough on his totem pole. Anyone in his upper circles takes a blood bond vow and an Alpha Command to never say his name. Donovan left Cordelia when he escaped. His chosen Luna Queen had failed, so she was left to be discarded“.
Cordelia burst into tears. Really wailing at her situation, and Anthony just sits in silence, having lost
the battle.
I leave them behind knowing I’ve won.
