Chapter 13 - LUCINDA’S ARREST
Police did not arrest Lucinda the day of the restaurant incident.
They investigated.
Bank records.
Forensic documents.
Computer logs.
Statements.
Then prosecutors filed charges supported by the evidence.
Forgery-related offenses.
Fraudulent financial administration or theft-related counts based on proven diverted funds.
Interference with paternity/family-court process through falsified documents.
Exact labels varied by statute.
No kidnapping.
No child-abuse charge for five years of poverty.
The restaurant kick became a separate lower-level assault/harassment allegation involving property and intimidation, because she kicked the bag rather than a child.
No exaggerated felony.
Then my slap.
Separate.
Of course.
Lucinda surrendered through counsel.
No dramatic raid.
No handcuffs at dinner.
She posted bond under conditions.
No contact with Adeline or the twins.
No access to family-office financial systems.
No destruction of records.
Then she called me through her lawyer asking for a private meeting.
I refused.
Why?
Because anything important could go through counsel.

Also because I did not trust myself.
That admission mattered.
