What if Lex Luthor thought himself a real philanthropist and an honest businessman, who (thought) he played by the rules of business, instead of seeing himself as a brilliant criminal mind?

Write a story where Lois and Clark, those meddling reporters, create so-called news stories to blacken Lex Luthor's good name. Who wins in the end?

RULES:
1) Lois and Clark (the Daily Planet, Perry White, and that photographer puppy that follows them around) are villains! Lex Luthor is a good guy and hero of this story!
2) The story must be from Lex's POV (and we know what an honest and fair narrator he is, representing all sides just as they deserve). Lex Luthor can do no wrong!
3) While Lex can romance Lois in an attempt to get her to charm her into submission, he cannot win her heart by the end.

LEX: What?! That's ludicrous! Of course I win the damsel's heart. Did you not read the first two rules? I'm the hero of this story! Mrs. Cox, call Bender; we're suing for slander.
