All The Little Lights

"-to be. Mr. Victor Alexander Winx, the C.O.O of the Winx Enterprises was accused of illegal drug abuse, possession and trafficking. The Crime Agency has taken up the case seeing the high profile and corporate power of the accused. The police is trying to track down the person behind the anonymous post but all has led to nothing but dead end. As to the Winx, no one in the family has spoken addressing the issue yet. Sources say there will be a press meet soon. The manger to th-"

With a victorious sigh I looked at Helen who sat to my right watching the evenings news.

"Such good news. Huh?" I smirked.

"Yeah, I can finally get rid of that prick.! Poor boy, it will take him a lot to escape this mess. Even if he does, he is going to be notorious for the public for sometime now. His image has been tarnished to the point of no return. Gwen did a really good job. Not only an untraceable post but also hardcore evidence and some extra shit too. Who would've thought he really had it in him! Good for us" Helen said stroking Oreo who was nuzzling in her lap.

"The Winx seems mortified by the news, although surely not surprised. They must have expected all their dirt would come to light one day or the other"

"I wish I was there to see their faces when they got to know about Anastasia's post. Bet they didn't see that coming!" Helen laughed hugging Oreo to her chest.

True to her word, she did indeed write a post against homophobia last week, stating her support to the lgbtq community.

Even though there were people who tried to slam her, most of her followers rushed in with supporting posts and comments. There were even people who spoke up about how they found the courage to come out to their families due to her open support and motivation. She really had a huge fan base! I should give her that.

Despite all the uproar, it did generate result we wanted at the end. In between the mixed reactions to her post, there were people who pointed out the fate of the youngest Winx aka Kevin.

'Fancy seeing a statement like this from a member of Winx family. Weren't they the ones who disowned their heir because he is gay?

'Yeah! His name was Kevin. I know him. He went to highschool with me.'

'Wow! Such hypocrisy. Two faced bitch! Where was she when her own cousin was kicked out of the house for his sexuality?!'

'Money is what matters. This is all just cheap show for publicity. She didn't even lift a finger against her family's action against her cousin. Shows the family's real nature. Haven't even mentioned his existence after the scandal. He was forgotten. Just like that!'

'So what if he is gay? He likes men. Doesn't mean he is not their son. Do they even know whether he is now alive or not?'

There were many more comments like this.

And now with Victor's scandal too, the Winx family is being dragged through mud by the public and it will take long befor they can get out of this one.

All these had given a pretty hard blow to their image.

Some of their business partners have already withdrawn their partnership to make themselves safe from drowning along with the Winx.

Many of their shipments have been blocked by the authorities for further inspections and legal operations. Even their business dealings have been freezed for investigation of illegal transactions and exchanges. In short, you can say that they are doomed.

"It wasn't as difficult as we thought, was it? The fierce reaction of the public to both news regarding the Winx has shaken the supremacy they held over the business world. One more blow and they will be fucking destroyed" I said looking at the balance sheet of their company.
