UNDER HIS INFLUENCE : CHAPTER 21 – 30
CHAPTER 29 & 30
✷ZERO✷
Paisley’s doom went viral and it became the top searched news online. Netizens threw insults, demanding for explanation.
This incident only gave Tatiana more light. However, the media still got curious about the child. Just then, a picture surfaced. A picture of Tatiana and Dylan at the park.
“Awwn, you both look so cute” Jolene commented. “I miss little lion so much. But, who sneaked up on you this way? Definitely someone with a death wish”
Tatiana had always want to keep a low profile. It had been that way even back in the years.
Even when scandals sorrounded her, she remain calm and use that opportunity to build her fame. She had learnt the craft of making her enemies as step stones. Not until she fell in love with Nathan. She fell deeply.
They were friends at first with Nathan trying to make her fall in love until he succeeded. His dreams and hers was similar. To build a great empire in the entertainment industry, and to focus on this, she had to quit acting.
Tatiana helped Nathan, handling a lot of things for him three year. And when his dream was achieved, Nathan became a complete stranger. A man who shattered her gruesomely on her wedding day.
Tatiana couldn’t help but saw all powerful men as bird of the same feathers.
Another was occupying her mind. A powerful man in the same industry, not just anyone but the King himself. Everything about him was subtle and she felt conflicted.
“We are here” Jolene broke Tatiana’s train of thought.
Tatiana overlooked the car window. A wide building clad with a grand architecture. The stripper club she is visiting tonight. To meet the man who knew something about her Isabella’s death.
Just the thought made her eyes darkened.

Hudson tried to focus on his work but the thought of what he did with Indigo hunt him.
After she had slammed her lips on his, Hudson recalled how he couldn’t resist the urge to kiss her back with hunger like he had been craving for it.
The way their lips burned against each other, their tongues entangled as he lost himself in pleasure. The sound of her moan rang over and over in his head and his urge was beginning to drive him crazy.
He had managed to stop himself from going crazy that night and forced himself out. He hadn’t laid his eyes on indigo after then.
“Hudson!” A voice snapped him back to reality. He looked up to Cassius who stared at down at him with curiosity.
“Hi.. Good morning” he stuttered wondering when Cassius entered the office.
“It’s afternoon. What’s troubling you. I’ve called you thrice but you were so lost in you thought” Cassius said.
“I’m fine, I just dove off with business thought for a minute…”
“Doesn’t look like a business thought. It’s looks like a woman thought” Cassuis smiled lightly. “Who’s she?”
“It’s not woman!” Hudson cut in. His voice sounded louder than how he wanted it to be.
“Definitely a woman” Cassius declared and Hudson sighed.
“Fine, it’s a woman. I helped her home one night she was drunk and she kissed me” Hudson avoided Cassuis teasing gaze. How will he feel if he finds out the woman he kissed was Indigo?
“And you kissed her back?” Cassuis asked and he slowly nodded. “You definitely like her, shoot your shot”
Before Hudson could reply, the door opened and Indigo walked on with her assistant.
Hudson immediately choked and grab some water to drink. Cassius eyes narrowed at his reaction.
“There are some files we would like you to sign. President King. Miss Indigo will be shooting the red velvet next week” The assistant request professionally while Indigo remain quiet and not looking at Cassius.
However, Hudson was in a hot seat. He glanced at Indigo’s upset look meant for Cassius. Does this mean, she doesn’t remember the kiss?
Cassius simply took a pen and signed the paper before handing them over to Indigo’s assistant.
“Thank you President King, we’ll take our leave” the assistant said while Indigo turned silently and left.
Hudson let out the breath he was holding. She doesn’t seem to remember. However, his gaze met with Cassius and he swallowed.
The look on Cassius face looks like he had just discovered something.
“Find out what little Rebel is up to” he ordered and went to his seat while Hudson swallowed.

UNDER HIS INFLUENCE : CHAPTER 21 – 30
It’s been three hours since Paisley had woken up. Her face paled as she hadn’t spoken a word.
She could hear the gossip of the nurses in the hospital. The woman being dragged online was here. If it wasn’t for the tight security of the hospital, there would be wild reporters yelling for explanation behind the doors right now.
The sting on her body only happens when ever she moves. The doctor had told her she was going to have scars. Her neck down to her waist was the part that was affected. It was a bit swollen.
The door opened and her assistant walked in with her food.
“Get that out of my face” Paisley demanded. Her eyes staring into space like a lost kitten.
“You haven’t eaten since morning. You need strength. Beside, the doctor said–”
“I said get out!” She yelled insanely, her muscle moved and the pain struck her skin.
“Ma’am are you okay?” Her assistant asked worriedly.
Before Paisley could yell again, the door opened and Nathan stepped in. He was clad in a his black expensive suit, his eyes devoid of emotion as it met with hers.
Paisley scoffed knowing why he was here.
“Leave us” Nathan ordered and Paisley’s assistant immediately left the ward. His gaze scrutinized her wounds and he showed no pity. Instead, anger glimmered in those metallic eyes of his.
“You can still hold a pen–” he threw a file on the bed beside her. “Sign it.”
Paisley scoffed at his command. Does this motherfucker thinks he can just do as he please with her and throw her like trash?
“No” Paisley responded firmly. Nathan stepped forward, his icy gaze boring into her.
“Do it while I ask nicely” he demanded in a low threatening voice.
“I’m not a piece of shit you can dispose the way you want Nathan Redmond. You’re stuck with me. And I’m never going to use my fucking hand to sign that paper”
A wide grin graced his lips. At the moment, he looked like a physcopath.
“I didn’t expect you to sign it immediately. I give you two days Paisley. You know how badly I love my reputation and how far I’m going to go just to secure it and yet you stained it with your senseless actions. I’ll take of care Landon, you don’t have worry about him. But you– you’re leaving”
“Hell fucking no. I don’t care if you’ll drag me to hell Nathan Redmond. I won’t let you throw me away”
“Two days” he stated and turned to leave.
“I know your secret Nathan” she said and he halt, his eyes darkened. “And I won’t hesitate to spill it out if you don’t stop your madness. You think I don’t know a day like this would come? A day when you’ll decide to throw me away. Oh darling I’ve prepared for this day. Even if I die, I have someone that will spill your entire secret.”
Nathan’s laughter rented the ward. After his laughter, he glanced over his shoulder to her.
“What a nice threat sweetheart. If I were you, I’ll sign the goddamn papers”

UNDER HIS INFLUENCE : CHAPTER 21 – 30
Gentle slow music boomed the large territory, the scent of alcohol and smoke filled the air.
On the stage were several women with their intimate part barely covered, revealing their dip and swell. Their face behind their mask, they sway their body seductively, dancing to the tune of the slow music.
Some had their hands clutched to a pole as they grind their body to it. Each revealing their skills just to please the intense gaze of the powerful men seated below.
Among those powerful men, sat an imposing figure with a regal bearing. His weathered face is enough to made anyone shrink in fear. Despite his face been been overshadowed by the darkness, one could sight the scar on his left eyes that ran down to his neck.
Zero.
A mafia underground dealer in the world of entertainment industry. His work is simple. Pay and he’ll deliver what you want. He is a mafia, a drug dealer, ruthless in his ways.
Staring at the strippers on stage, his eyes fixed on one particular woman. A definition of sexy. Her curve made his skin tingled with interest.
However, the look on his face was unreadable as if he had something rilling in his mind.
“The pink haired woman” he answered his assistant who bow in reply.
“How would you like me to please you my Lord?” The pink haired woman whispered, trailing her hand down his member. She felt it hard and ready, begging to be touched.
Zero trailed his hand to her hair, his lips parted as he felt her finger rub against his bulge. “Anyhow you want it my lady”
“Shall we play a game then?” She whispered and buried her face on the crook of her neck. “I’ll do the touching.”
Zero rolled his tongue in and a dark smirk crept his lips.
“How about I do the touching?” He asked in a whisper and she wanted to retort but he quipped in. “Don’t worry it’ll be fun”
Her eyes flickered with the emotion he had expected. Alertness.
With swift he rolled her over, coming on top and pinned her to the bed. Hands above her head and his weight crushing down on her.
His second hand gripped on her neck hard, knocking the breath out of her.
“Do you really think I’m Mason and some other fucking men you’ve deceived?” He growled, his voice laced with anger.
Stacy tried her best to compose herself. He found out! How the hell did he did he find out!?
She had done this tricks to many men and non of them had ever caught her. Non!
“I don’t know what you’re talking about” she retorted and the man let out a dark chuckle. The one that sent a chill down her spine.
“How about we play a game little Barbie. Tell me who sent you and what you’re up to. If not–” he eyes turned darker. “I’ll give a slow painful death. You’ve heard of my tales haven’t you.”
‘Shit!’ Stacy cursed inwardly.

[ZERO’S MANSION]
A car drove to the gate and was stopped by the guards. One of them approached the car and knocked lightly on the window.
“I’m here to see Zero” the woman inside said. She was clad in a fine white and black suit, matching with her powerful aura.
“Boss isn’t around” the guard face looked Intimidating but the woman showed no effect.
“I’ll wait for him inside” Tatiana responded, her voice firm.
“I’m sorry ma’am that won’t be possible as you hold no familiarity to this place” he said, casting a look over to Parker seated as driver.
“No familiarity? That sounds like an insult. Didn’t your boss tell you an important visitor will be coming today and that you should let her in.” Tatiana asked and the guard expression slowly change.
Yesterday, Tatiana disguised herself as a client and offered Zero a lot of money, one definitely cannot resist. She insisted on meeting him one on one tonight and had tell him to inform his guards she was coming.
Stacy will deal with Zero, delaying him with a sedative while she goes into the mansion and search for something to use again Zero.
The guard allowed them in.
“Have you heard from Stacy?” Tatiana asked, her voice barely audible.
“I haven’t heard anything from her too” Parker said.
“Jojo?” Tatiana asked over the earphone.
“Nothing too and there’s no trace of them leaving the club. Maybe she lost her earphone or something. But Tatie, going in without Stacy’s feedback won’t cause any problem, right? It’s been thirty minutes since she said she was chosen” Jolene’s voice sounded over the phone.
“There is no time. We might never get a chance like this” Tatiana replied.
As they stepped into the mansion, Tatiana eyes scan the place. Clean, grand and comfortable.
“Wait here, I’ll try calling boss again to see if he’ll reply” the guard stated and left.
“May I know where the restroom is?” Tatiana asked one of the maid.
“Upstairs ma’am” the maid replied and immediately made her way there.
When she did, she began to search for Zero’s room. A particular room caught her attention. The door was well crafted uniquely.
However when she opened the door, the blood on her face dried up.
Zero was seated on the couch and just before him was Stacy. She was chained before him and her mouth gagged.
‘He knew we were coming’ Tatiana eyes widened at the thought. This man is definitely not an easy opponent.
One more thing, he look younger than what she had expected. He was around the age of Cassuis.
The door opened and Zero’s men stepped in with their guns, pointing it straight to Tatiana’s head.
“Surprised” Zero grinned, his eye dancing with excitement. “It’s been a while someone tried to play tricks on me. And I must say woman, your trick wasn’t impressive. But I like that potential of yours”
Tatiana stayed quiet. Even when she had guns pointing to her head, she remain calm.
“Your bitch here” Zero pulled Stacy’s hair harshly and Stacy winced. “I know her in my world, and she thought she can use her stupid tricks on me. And she will die if you don’t tell me who sent you”
“I wasn’t sent” Tatiana’s voice didn’t quiver.
“Then why?”
“Isabella Wallington. My sister you killed”
“Issabella” Zero repeated the name. “Ah.. the young actress. The one my boys raped, took pictures and video then destroyed her name gruesomely the following day–”
Tatiana eyes blazed with anger as she took a step forward.
The men in the room set their gun and Zero placed a knife on Stacy’s neck. Tatiana hissed at the sight.
“Careful woman. This bitch’s life is on the line. You made a pretty rash decision putting your men lives in danger. Not a way to handle my side of the world, I must say. No wonder you look quite familiar. You’re Tatiana Wallington, the second daughter of the Wallington family”
“I’m not here to cause any harm. I just wanna know who paid you to kill my sister”
Jolene was hearing everything. Cassuis had contacted her today if anything goes wrong, she give him a call.
“Awwn. Sorry cutie. I can’t disclose my client name to anyone. I’m a man of honor.”
“Then you don’t mind if I hunt you down until my last breath. I’m woman of honor” she replied and Zero chuckled.
What an interesting woman.
“Would you be able to take the shock if I tell you?” He asked, with a smirk. Unmistakably dark and Tatiana’s eyes narrowed.
“Tell me” Tatiana demanded.
“There’s only one person I’m under. The only one above me, that’s the only person I’m working for…”
Tatiana didn’t like where this was going. Why? Why does she feel what she was about the hear who shattered her heart like glass.
“…He dominate the world, he rule fiercely and can destroy a person without lifting a finger…”
And when his name dropped out of Zero’s lips, Tatiana felt her soul leave her body with shock.
“Mr. King… Himself”
