UNDER HIS INFLUENCE : CHAPTER 41 – 50
CHAPTER 43 & 44
Tatiana dashed out of the place and entered the car that bought her here. The driver assigned to accompany her ran after her.
“Ma’am” his voice trailed off.
Tatiana hit the accelerator, heading to the place she haven’t visited in years. The Wallington’s mansion. Why? Why? Why? That question kept ringing over and over in her head.
It would take an hour to reach her destination.
However, Cassius got a call and when he heard what the person said on the other side, he immediately tracked Tatiana.
He swiftly took his jacket and left for his car. He put it on high speed and chased her.
“Hudson” Cassius made a call to his assistant.
“Boss”
“Delay her.” He ordered.
In two minutes, Tatiana got stuck in a traffic. The traffic light was unusually glowing red for a long time.
Groaning, Tatiana hit her hand on the staring wheel. Her eyes welled up with tears and she began to sob.
‘Tatie why is your phone dead? I’m scared, I’m so fucking scared. People are everywhere, I’m dressed in black like a criminal and hiding. I reek of rotten eggs and gutter. They are calling me names Tatie, like they are going to kill me. What do I do? Please I need to talk to you please..’
Issabella’s words rang in her head, adding more fuel to her guilt. Only if she was here.. only if she didn’t leave then none of this would have happened.
Nathan aside, but her father? Is that how much he hate his daughters.
A light knock on her window snapped her back to reality. She looked up and spot Cassuis staring at her. He was putting on a mask to cover his identity.
Tatiana wiped her tears and stepped down from the car.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Cassius asked lightly.
Tears streamed down her cheek. “Cash.. Paisley told me… who killed my sisters”
“And you’re going after him?” Cassius asked and Tatiana brow lifted.
“You knew?” her voice barely above a whisper and when he stayed silent she got her answer.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” She took a step forward. She knew he kept it away from her not to hurt her but still.. it was unbearable.
He suddenly pulled her to his embrace and Tatiana burst into a loud cry. Her tears wet his shirt. She felt his hand patting her hair gently. Raising her hand, she hugged him and buried her face further into his chest.

[NEXT MORNING]
“How is idol?” Hudson asked Cassuis as they drive to meet Indigo. She was leaving the country today.
“She is getting better” Cassius replied. He managed to calm her yesterday and her smile returned as she spent time with Dylan.
Cassuis pulled out the recorder of Nathan raping Diana. It wasn’t enough to rip that bastard beyond measure. This matter now involves him as he made his Little Rebel cried.
They found Indigo already waiting for them. The few lucky onlookers was lucky to catch a glimpse of Mr. King.
Cassuis heard a high pitch scream from a distance. He looked at the direction and saw lady covering her lips in shock, her friend beside her mouth was hanging.
Others was not excluded.
“You didn’t use your mask” Indigo said and Cassius touched his face.
Hudson handed over mask to him and he wore it.
“Thank you for coming” Indigo appreciated.
“Safe journey. Call me whenever you need me and make sure you take care of yourself” Cassuis said and Indigo’s eyes teared up.
“Bye friend” she chuckled.
Cassuis was the first to leave as he have something to attend to.
“Do you really have to go?” Hudson asked.
“I want to. It’s not as if I won’t return. I just need sometime alone”
Hudson gaze sadden.
“I remembered that night Hud,” she faced him.
“Huh?”
“I kissed you”
Hudson became stun. “You did?” She nodded and his heart skipped a beat.
“I just didn’t know how to bring it up. I’m sorry about what I did. I was wasted and I–” she took a deep breath. “Okay this is awkward. Cus you kissed me back and left. Do you.. perhaps like me–”
“I gotta go” Hudson cut her off. “Call me when you land, okay?” His eyes crinkled at the side indicating the smile behind his mask.
As Indigo watched him leave, she sighed. “Why did I mention it?”

Nathan smashed the glass of cup on the wall. He paced around the room. His eyes settled on his system and he smashed that too.
Facing his assistant, Flynn, he roared. “How the fuck did Paisley got rescued under your nose. You’re telling me that some invincible men broke in and took her under your watch? Are you fucking kidding me?!”
“Sir I don’t know how it happened.. I was drugged… By the time we woke up, she was taken–” Flynn explained.
Nathan let out a short laugh and immediately took the gun in his drawer pointing it to Flynn.
Flynn eyes widened and before he could react, a bullet was sent to his arm. A resounding scream tore out from his throat as he held his bleeding arm. He crumpled to the floor, his face squeezing with so much pain.
“Did you betray me?” Nathan asked stepping forward. He pointed the gun to Flynn’s head.
“No boss.. I didn’t!” Flynn cried out. “I swear!”
“Only you knew where my wife was kept. Other men guarded the room without knowing what was inside. So tell me…” As Nathan set the gun again, it made a click sound that made Flynn’s eyes widened in shock. His eyes fixed on the gun aimed at his forehead. “Who else did you tell?”
Flynn’s breath became erratic, beads of sweat formed on his forehead. His body tensed.
“I didn’t tell anyone. Boss but there’s someone I suspect” he rushed his words.
Nathan tilted his head a little. “Who?”
“Diana. The day you asked Paisley to be tortured. Diana was at the doorstep. Though she acted like she heard nothing but she is a suspect. Please spare me, I know nothing about it”
Nathan eyes narrowed. Diana?

“Are you sure you’re going to act?” Jolene asked Tatiana who was simply revising her script.
“I’m fine”
Jolene sighed, knowing Tatiana was lying. Getting to know Issabella was killed by Nathan and that her father also have an hand in it was a big shock.
Cassius had told Jolene to call if anything goes wrong.
Tatiana sighed when her eyes met with Gavin. The man is at it again, staring at her with lust.
They began to act. Tatiana was lucky to act a devastating scene, so she played it well. While acting, Gavin won’t stop staring her. He sometimes winked at her.
Director Felix acknowledged the crew after they were done. The work for the day went fast because of the cooperation.
After Tatiana was set to meet Jolene waiting for her outside, Gavin blocked her with a smile.
“How may I help you?” Tatiana asked.
“Can we go get a coffee together, at least once…”
“I thought I’ve clarified this to you Mr. Gavin. I’m here for work, and let’s keep it that way. If you push this further I’ll have no choice and drop the nice attitude” Tatiana didn’t wait for his reply and walked pass him leaving the place.
Gavin scoffed again. “Another rejection?”
He looked back at where Tatiana left and mumbled. “What an ego”
He ruffled his hair and his eyes settled on the writer of the movie. She was clad in an office attire with a recommend glass rested at the bridge of her nose.
An idea clicked on his head and he approached her.
“Hey” Gavin greeted and the woman’s eyes widened at the sight of him. She had a crush on him, especially his handsome look.
When Gavin noticed the intrest in her gaze he knew his motive was going to be easy.

“Sister!” A young guy dashed into the apartment. His breath ragged and his eyes widened spotting Diana packing her things.
He marched forward and asked. “What are you doing?”
“Leaving” Diana responded and threw an empty bag at him. She ordered. “Pack your things too”
“What?! What’s going on? What happened to me years ago is now on the media. Everything I’ve been working for is now going to the drain. I might be expell from college for something I do not know about. I was frame with the drugs sis…”
“Can you stop whining and pack your things?” Diana snapped and took a deep breath. “Do not worry, I’ll explain everything, just do as I say”
Her brother finally nodded.

“We couldn’t find Diana. It seems she knew we were coming for her and left her apartment”
Nathan scoffed and shot a glare at Flynn, who whose arm was wrapped with bandage.
Again! His plan was exposed and ruin, how? Nathan face slowly controted into a serious one as a something struck his mind.
“You were drugged when Paisley was taken, huh?” Nathan approached Flynn, his scrutinizing eyes forced Flynn’s leg to take a step backward.
Nathan began to search him. He searched all his pocket and his gaze settled on Flynn’s hair. His hand reached for it and then boom! He found it.
A very tiny device, its color matching with Flynn’s hair. He gestured Flynn to be quiet and turned to walk back to his window.
“Tatiana” he mentioned.
___
UNDER HIS INFLUENCE : CHAPTER 41 – 50
Tatiana brow creased hearing her name. He found out pretty faster than she how she had expected.
Jolene was with her hearing everything too.
Diana and his brother was present too. They were both trembling.
An unknown number called Tatiana’s number. Definitely Nathan. She swipe green and sank back to her chair.
“Hello?” Her voice sounded neutral as she answered.
“What a nice way of playing games Tatiana. I had had the urge of who could possibly be behind this and my mind went to you. Did my bitch tell you? How I ordered Zero to fuck your sister in a brutal way and send her into the pit of hell? I’m sure she did”
Tatiana tried to composed her emotions and stayed quiet.
“Scared?” Nathan annoying voice sounded on the other side. “Do you really think I won’t have a plan B. I was already planning to attack you whether you were the one behind Paisley’s incident or not. I want you Tatiana and I’ll have you.. you can call it obsession, ion fucking care”
“You’re the most stupidest person I’ve ever met” Tatiana shook her head, her eyes shifting to the figure who was also in the room.
“Oh watch me. Your sister was quite disobedient just like you. She dared me and I taught her a lesson. Do you really think Diana’s record of me would actually take me down” Nathan chuckled and continued. “While you’re busy trying sticking your hand into the wrong cookie jar, you abandoned your son, Dylan Tatiana…”
Tatiana expression didn’t change and she didn’t speak a work. She heard a beep sound in the background.
“You heard that? It’s a notification that I’ve got your son. You mentioned I’ll be doomed if I meet Dylan’s father. Let’s see how true those words are. I dare him to show how powerful he is and not lurking himself behind the shadow. Or perhaps he is a man who doesn’t even care about you. I can’t wait to see how you’ll crawl your way to me begging me to stop Tatiana…”
With this, the call ended.
And when it did, the man who had been quiet in the room with a domineering aura stood up slowly.
Diana and her brother had actually been trembling because of his prescence the whole time. His gaze was sharp and the anger emitting from him the whole time was choking.
Diana had heard of the rumor of Tatiana baring a child for a secret lover. Who would have thought the man was….
The one and only Cassuis King!
He approached the table and did a shocking thing. He kissed Tatiana’s cheek.
Even Tatiana didn’t expect this action from him but she smiled.
“I’ll be back” he whispered, casting one last glance to the others and left the room.
“Awwn big boss is so romantic! You guys should get married already!” Jolene squealed and Tatiana blushed.
Gosh! Maybe Cassuis was right about her blushing too much.
“This is a dream right?” Diana’s brother whispered in a low voice for his sister to hear. Diana slowly nodded. Never had she thought she’ll get to see Cassuis King.
Oh Nathan Redmond is screwed. Did he know who he just challenged about power?

UNDER HIS INFLUENCE : CHAPTER 41 – 50
‘Little Man, you’ll be quite stressed today. But whatever happens, stay silent and trust me’
Dylan recalled the words of Cassuis this morning before heading to school. Strangely, he felt sleepy during school and when he woke up, he found himself sorrounded by several strange men in black.
‘Definitely a stress. I wonder what’s happening’ Dylan thought to himself looking around. His look innocent as he waited.
The place was like an uncompleted building.
A man he recognized was one of them. The strange man the other day, that claimed to be his father. He has this small smirk on his lips as he smoked from his cigarette. He tried to look composed but Dylan could see the subtle fear in his eyes.
“Aren’t you going to say anything? A normal child would have been brawling out their eyes by now. You’re just like your mother, composed even if a storm stands right before you” Nathan chuckled lightly and lean forward. “Who’s your father little one?”
And when the boy didn’t reply he continued. “Your father can’t help you, not when I have you sorrounded by armed men who would put a bullet into skull if he try to act like a hero” Nathan chuckled.
‘Don’t talk Dylan, keep your cool. Father will come’ Dylan assured himself when Nathan’s word was beginning to anger him.
As if God answered his prayers Instantly, Dylan spot the man in the room already. Seriously, how did he walk in without anyone noticing?
‘So cool’ Dylan thought.
Nathan frowned and traced Dylan’s gaze. A full force of shock struck his core recognizing the new figure in the room. He wasn’t putting on any mask…
The only time he had set his eyes on this man was on functions and television. He envy him so much because of the power he posses. The ability he has to turn the entertainment world upside down if he wants to.
Cassuis King… was right there, standing before him.
“Mr.. King? What are you doing here?” for a breathless moment, Nathan forgot what was happening around him. The man’s cold gaze pierced hard through him…
When reality crashed upon Nathan, he looked back at Dylan, then back at Cassuis. He looked at Dylan again and returned it to Cassuis. He did the same action several times and each time he did, his heart raced like crazy. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
No. No. No. No. Just hell No.
He mumbled… “Oh fuck…….”
Nathan was still trembling when Cassuis powerful cold voice broke the silence.
“Do you know what power is?” Cassuis smirked like a devil and raised his hand.
“Allow me to show you” Cassuis snapped his fingers and the men in the room raised their guns.
They aimed at Nathan’s different part of body.
The men in the room was his? How?
Cassius neared him and let out low cold laughter. “One snap of my fingers and your miserable life is in my hold”
Cassuis raised his hand again and Nathan broke into another cold sweat. His eyes widened knowing what the next snap of finger would be!
“And another snap, you’d have every part of your skin designed with bullets…”
Cassuis grinned, pressing his fingers together…
