Alpha's Discarded Luna (Talia) novel Chapter 178

Alpha’s Discarded Luna

Chapter 173

Nick’s POV

I lean back in my chair, letting the wine swirl in my glass. “I am planning to have some guys wreck his clinic.”

I wave a hand. “Don’t worry. No one will get hurt. No damage will be done, enough to push any legal case- just enough to make them realise their mistake.”

I pause, letting the next part settle. “As for Talia…”

I set my glass down. “The apartment she bought before marriage? That property belongs to the Thorne Group. We can find an excuse to evict her, then make sure she cannot move back in for at least a year or so.”

I let a slow smile spread across my face. “If she has nowhere to stay and no job to turn to, she will have no choice but to crawl back to you.”

Imema chimes in, her voice soft and thoughtful. “But Talia has a lot of money. Even if you block her from that apartment, she can just buy another one.” She looks at me. “Your plan might not work, Nick.”

I smirk, proud of myself. “Oh, I have already thought about that.” I lean forward. “We can slap a charge on her and have her

assets frozen. That way, not only can she not touch the money Alpha gave her, but she will not even be able to access her own funds.”

Imema hesitates. “But you cannot just throw accusations around. If we mess up, it could backfire.”

I wave a dismissive hand. “A while ago, Talia used the title of ‘Mrs. Perseus‘ to buy a ton of luxury goods. Now that they are divorced, we can report her for bribery. Claim she was trying to cash out before the split.”

I grin. “Better yet, we can accuse her of colluding with a rival company and stealing Alpha’s trade secrets.” I let the words hang. “If she refuses to play along, well… then she will just have to go to jail. Once that happens, she will be begging to remarry. By then, Alpha can do whatever he wants with her.”

I sit back, looking smug. “Genius, right?”

Imema chuckles, a cold smile curving her lips.

Richard turns to Aires. “Alpha, don’t you think this is going a little too far?”

I can see it on his face. He thinks it is downright ruthless.

Aires swirls his wine, his tone indifferent. “She has been getting too full of herself lately. Letting her suffer a bit is not had 15:33

thing.”

Richard’s expression darkens “Alpha, you will regret this.”

Aires’s gaze turns cold. “The only one who will regret anything is her. I have been too lenient with her, which is why she keeps testing my limits.” His voice drops. “It is time she understood— without me, she is nothing.”

I nod vigorously. “Exactly. You have no idea how much trouble she has caused lately. She made Alpha lose a billion–dollar deal. If we do not put her in her place, she will really start thinking she can take us on.”

I point at Richard. “And it’s a warning for you! Stop playing the nice guy. This is for Aeson’s sake too.”

I let out a short laugh. “You know what they say. When a dog gets hungry, it always comes back home.”

Richard does not respond. He lowers his gaze, his face unreadable.

I pick up my glass again, satisfied. The pieces are falling into place.

phone. “What?” Her voice rises. “Why is our account banned? We did not violate any rules!”

We have just sat down for dinner. Raymond is across from me, his expression relaxed. Electra’s phone starts blowing up before

we even get our menus.

A hesitant voice crackles through her speaker. “Well, the system detected some unusual activity in your follower count. It is suspected to be bot traffic, so we have temporarily suspended

your account.”

Electra snaps, “That is ridiculous! We did not–hello? Hello?” She stares at her phone. The line is dead.

Within minutes, she receives call after call. Other platforms. Same excuses. Violations. Suspicion. Temporary bans. Her face grows darker with each one.

Raymond, who has overheard everything, leans forward. “Do you want me to look into it?”

I glance at the message on my phone. A notification from one of the platforms. Banned. I shake my head calmly. “No need. I already know who is behind this.”

Electra’s fists clench. “It is obvious, isn’t it? Who else would pull such a dirty move?”

She huffs angrily. “Talia was Aires’s wife for five years. She gave the Perseus family an heir. Even if she has got no credit, she has at least got some hard–earned history with them.” Her voice cracks. “Does he really have to be this ruthless?”

Raymond’s face does not ripple. He looks unsurprised.

I reach for my fork. I am completely unbothered. I smile. “Do not waste your breath. You have been looking forward to this meal for ages, haven’t you?” I gesture at her plate. “Eat before it gets cold.”

Electra’s eyes redden with pent up anger.

“I just got word. They are trying to blacklist you everywhere.” Her voice shakes. “They even put out a warning, that any platform that dares to let you stream is declaring war on the Thorne Group.”

She looks at me, and her voice comes out strangled, like she’s speaking through her tears. “Our hard–earned followers… our audience. Everything is gone, Talia… just like that!”

My eyes flick to my phone screen. A message lights up the display. It’s Richard whose name pops up on my screen.

I delete the message without opening it.

my heart is pretty grim. “Maybe this is just the beginning.”
