UNDER HIS INFLUENCE : CHAPTER 51 – 60
CHAPTER 55 & 56
✷INSANE✷
A loud gasp escaped Tatiana’s lips as she snapped out of her nightmare. She was breathing hard, beads of sweat dripping down her forehead as she immediately sat up.
Her eyes dart and fell on Cassius who was working on his system.
“Are you okay?” He asked softly, his voice dripping with concern as he rose from the chair.
“Cash!” She yanked off the duvet and swung her feet down. She dashed towards him and hugged him tight. “You’re alive.. you’re okay” she sobbed on his chest.
“Alive?” His perfect brows creased and his hand reached for her hair.
“Dylan? Where’s Dylan!” She suddenly break the hug, worries blanketed her eyes.
Storming out, she went straight to Dylan’s room and when she saw her son laying peacefully, she breath out in relief. Tears streamed down her face, and she ran to hold him into her arms just to feel him.
Even with how gentle she held him, Dylan’s eyes fluttered opened. A small frowned on his adorable face.
“Mother?” A wave of relief washed over Tatiana, hearing his soft whisper. He drew his head closer and warpped his little arms around her..
Dylan went back to sleep.
Tatiana wiped her tears and pat her son’s head gently. Her heart still racing from the nightmare. The man in black, the gunshot and the sight of her love ones laying lifelessly on the floor sent a deep fear into her core.
A gentle hand reached for her shoulder and she looked up to see Cassuis. He gave her a small smile, an assuring one that he was here with her.
She slowly dropped Dylan and covered him properly. Cassius then led her back to their room and faced her.
“Do you wish to talk about it?” Cassius asked lightly and their eyes met.
“I.. I don’t want to lose you two. I don’t want to lose any of you, I can’t handle it. I won’t. I’ll kill myself if it happens. I don’t want to revenge anymore. I can’t lose any other person. I really can’t….” Tatiana broke down in tears again and Cassius immediately pulled her close for a hug.
“We are going nowhere, Rebel. It’s just a dream” Cassius whispered.
“No it’s not. It was scary. You both were covered in blood. I don’t want to lose you.. I can’t. I just–”
Cassius lifted her chin and kissed her briefly. He then reached for her tears and wiped it gently with his thumb.
“I’m here with you. Dylan too and we are not going anywhere. We’ll stay by your side forever” Cassius whispered.
“Promise?” She whispered and he kissed her again, deeply enough to make her feel his warmth. He tilted her head one side and thrust his tongue deeper.
She rolled her tongue with his and her nerves eased, replaced with the sense of tranquility. When she was short of breath, he pulled away.
“I promise” he answered and she smiled a little.
Tatiana warpped his arms around his firm body and pressed her head on his broad chest.
Shutting her eyes, she confessed. “I love you. Cash. I love you so much”
She felt the man stiffened but it only lasted for seconds.
When he didn’t reply, she looked up at him. He was smiling.
“I love you, Rebel” he caressed her hair.
“Really?”
“You’re my woman. My queen. I love you”
Joy like never before coursed through her. A beautiful smile graced on her lips and he kissed her again.
It was scary, Tatiana won’t deny that. The thought of losing either her son or Cassius became her nightmare. A nightmare she won’t dare to trigger.
On the next day, Tatiana’s car halt at the grave yard. She stepped down with Jolene and approached a particular grave with flowers in her hold.
With heavy heart, she dropped the flower before her grave and looked up at the written name in the stone.
‘Issabella Wallington’
“Hey, Isabella” she croaked and. “For the first time in my life. I’ll break my promise. I’m sorry but I won’t be able to go after the one behind your suffering. I’m selfish, you can say that”
As she spoke, her voice trembled with emotions, she felt a lump form in her throat. Never had she broken a promise before, especially the ones she made with her love ones.
“I badly want to find justice Belle. I badly do” Tears slipped out of her eyes and she didn’t bother wiping it off. “But the truth is I’m scared. I’m scared of losing another. I sound selfish, don’t I?”
She sniffed and continued. “I hope you find a place on your heart to forgive me Issabella. I hope you understand”
She really hope she does.

Cassius tapped on his table consecutively with his finger. His gaze over looking the city before him. The scared look on her face, her trembling finger and words lingered in his head.
She had a nightmare. Quite disturbing.
But since she had decided not to go after her father again, he would respect that decision. However, if Mr. Wallington cross the fucking line to hunt either her or Dylan, he won’t sit still.

UNDER HIS INFLUENCE : CHAPTER 51 – 60
In the next few weeks, Tatiana buried herself into work. The guilt of not doing Justice to Issabella’s death still hunts her but the thought that her family was safe was enough to crush it.
The set decided to go for a drink to celebrate. Gavin was absent. After he was done acting, he never appeared until the day of Photo shoots.
Tatiana was dressed beautifully. She was breathtaking, one would definitely turn their head after she pass by. Her skin fair and radiant. It was like porcelain, so smooth. Even her shape was worth dying for.
“Big boss is really doing a good job”
Tatiana who was busy with her phone grinned. “He is”
They both let out a small laughter.
“When are you going to announce your relationship with him? I’m sure big boss is ready to tell the whole world that you are his” Jolene said.
“Yes I know. But I don’t want people to think I climbed up to fame because of him” Tatiana responded. She knew Cassius badly want to, but she wasn’t ready yet.
She want people to know her as Tatiana the best actress.. not Tatiana, the one who climb to the top because of Cassius. Netizens would never understand their relationship…
They would condemn her wherever she goes.
They would say whatever comes to their mind and it would affect her career and hers. Even Dylan would be dragged in.
Relationship was really complicated especially when it comes to the entertainment industry.
She was with Mr. King! A man who dominates this world. She need to climb higher and show she is worthy to be the King’s wife.
After explaining her thought, Jolene nodded her head in agreement.
“Hmm… We better be fast about it then. This movie is definitely going to blow the the market’s mind off”
“Sure it would” Tatiana smiled.
“And you are to sign into the King’s company” Jolene said and Tatiana sighed. “It would be a normal process. The authorities in Kings company are going to be the one to interview you. Of course big boss too”
“I just don’t think they’ll accept me after one movie” Tatiana shrugged.
“This isn’t your first movie. And every movie you’ve done in the past made billions in the market. You should try it out. Beside you’ll get to be around big boss”
“Fine” Tatiana gave in. What a talkative assistant she got.
It was time for her shoot. Tatiana stepped before the camera and was given prompts.
She pose with ease. Fierce, sexy, cold, beautiful and so on.
“Is she a model?” One of the worker in the camera set asked another.
“No, just an actress”
“I know but. She way good as a model. She has such a beautiful talented woman. She shouldn’t waste it”
“What are you going to the about it”
“I don’t know.. I’m just saying”
It was time for the couple shots. Tatiana watched Gavin joining her on set. She spot the nervous look on his face.
When he was close to her, he cleared his throat. “I hope Mr. King won’t kill me” he whispered low enough for only her to hear.
“You’ll be fine, as long you don’t cross your limit. You don’t want to lose your fingers, do you?” Tatiana asked and Gavin swallowed.
He slowly nodded and they were give prompts.
Gavin circled his arm around Tatiana’s waist. His hand not touching hers body, though it’ll look like it did in the camera.
He was sweating, and he forced himself to stare at her affectionately. Tatiana did the same and the shot was taken.
Just three shots was enough. Gavin left immediately he was done.

His gaze fell on the Lamborghini waiting for him and he got in.
Immediately he did, he let out a loud groan. “My bones aches!” A frown settled on his face when he saw the person who had came to pick him up.
“Hudson?” Jaxon frowned and looked around. He even looked under the chair. “Where the fuck is Cash?”
“Stop being dramatic. I told you there’s a lot of work on his plenty” Hudson simply responded.
“Urgh. I’m going to kill that cousin of mine. I’ve been away for a whole year. A whole year Hudson and he… Gosh my heart is broken. I’m seizing those cookies he cherish so much” Jaxon declared.
“How was Tokyo?” Hudson changed the topic.

“Yup” Hudson reached for the wine he kept beside him and threw it to him.
“Thanks” Jaxon smiled.

Tatiana gasped at the gown she met in the room. Not just hers but Dylan’s. Hers was her favorite color. White. The beauty was magnificent.
While Dylan’s was nice expensive suit. It was unique and Tatiana knew he had ordered his designer to make it specially for Dylan.
“Wow! I look like a cool little man” Dylan grinned excitedly at his suit. His eyes brimming with joy. “Where are we going mother?”
“To a party” Tatiana responded.
She wondered what Cassius was planning. She never expected Dylan would be coming with her.
Jaxon Miller, Cassuis cousin. A famous actor in the king’s company just returned and the company wanted to celebrate it. This would be her first time meeting one of Cassius’s family apart from his mother.

“I’m on my way. I’ll be there soon” Jolene assured Tatiana over the phone. Dropping her phone, a sudden car appear before her and hit the brake.
“Shit!” She cursed after a while of total silence. Getting down from her car angrily, she shot a glare at the man who just stepped down.
He was dressed casual with his face covered. Jolene noticed his car was expensive but she cared less.
“Watch where you’re going. And if you’re planning to die. Go and do it in your house. Gosh!!!” She yelled and entered her car to leave. She doesn’t want to keep Tatiana waited.
The man’s eyes follow her car until it was out of sight. His eyes crinkled one side and he muttered.
“Cute”

UNDER HIS INFLUENCE : CHAPTER 51 – 60
Tatiana stepped out of the apartment with Dylan. Her eyes widened with surprise when she saw a woman waiting for her with her car.
“Indigo?” She grinned.
“Tatiana” Indigo smiled and walked to hug her tight.
“When did you return?” Tatiana asked as they break the hug.
“It is a surprise. I’ll be the one taking you to king’s grand hall. You’ll be appearing there as my friend” Indigo said.
“That would be great” Tatiana chuckled. “Oh missed you”
“Me too” Indigo chuckled and her gaze fell on Dylan. “Hey cutie”
“Hello auntie” Dylan greeted cutely and and Indigo ruffled the boy’s hair.
“He is getting more adorable every single day, gush!” Indigo laughed.
“Tatie?” Jolene called and they all looked at her. Jolene was surprised to see Indigo and greeted her too.
Indigo was took them all to the hall and as they appeared, all eyes turned to them. The four walked with grace, their dress shimmering under the light. Even Jolene wasn’t excluded. She wore her best and looked beautiful too.. no one would take her as assistant.
Tatiana felt a bit nervous with the stares. When Indigo noticed it, she whispered.
“The king artists aren’t going to swallow you. Ease up Tatie”
Knowing Indigo was right, her confidence returned.
Most of the men staring at her, lust flashed on their features. Her cleavage was slightly exposed, the gown accentuate her sexy curve.
One even spat his drink back to his cup.
Dylan recieved the stares from the females. The boy was just too adorable to ignore.
Among the crowd, Jaxon was seated around the corner. He was surrounded by several artists, mostly the females. When his eyes fell on a particular person, he frowned.
She is here? He smirked.
As they took their seat, Tatiana eyes scan the place, searching for a figure but didn’t get to see him.
Just then her phone beeped. A message from him.
~Follow the man that will approach you now~ the message reads.
A guard approached her and Tatiana took excuse from the others.
“I’ll be right back” Tatiana whispered and kisses Dylan’s cheek, before standing up to follow the guard.
The guard led her to a room at the back of the hall and gestured her to go in.
Immediately Tatiana opened the door, a strong arm pinned her against the wall. His familiar cologne hit her nose.
He seized her lips and devour it harshly. His callous hand fondle with her her thigh, trailing it up ass.
“Cash” she moaned and he broke the kiss.
“Why the fuck do you have to let them stare at you, huh?” He asked huskily. “I feel like gauging out their fucking eyes”
“Let them look. I’m yours only. My man” she whispered and gave his lower lip a gentle bite. “I love you”
“I love you” Cassius seized her lips again. Harder and rougher than before. His tongue claiming her as his fingers dug into her skin.
When he reached for her back to unzip her dress. Tatiana broke the kiss.
“Cash, the event” she rushed her words.
Cassius was beyond listening, he lifted her up and placed her onto a desk. Her body definitely drove him nuts. He groped her ass and pulled her close.
She gasped as his action. His face inches from hers.
“Fuck the event, if I don’t have you now. I’ll fucking go insane” he growled. “Mine”
