Chapter 52 Intensifying Influence
Isabella remained pissed as she walked out of Luciano's room, using the rest of her torn nightgown to cover what remained of her dignity.
The tears now streaming from her eyes, she cursed the man with her entire being as he had deeply hurt and traumatized her.
Isabella would have never expected he would do such horrific things to her.
Luciano rolled over, fast asleep on his bed as he didn't exactly know he had done such a thing yet. He had been under the influence the whole time.
He hadn't planned that he would be drugged by a literal psychopath.
He hadn't planned the influence would have such an intensity.
The whole night was unplanned, and Isabella had been the innocent one to deal with the consequences.
However, as Isabella remained angry in her room, she had no idea that Luciano was not in his right mind and wasn't having his way intentionally.
The mansion turned even more quiet as a result of Isabella going to rest, Madam Paula and Mia still having no idea that such a thing happened.
The same thing could not be said for Mei Ling's party as the lights still remained on.
The workers who had earlier managed the event cleaning up after the guests.
Mei Ling quietly passed them and went to the backroom where she was supposed to change back into casual clothes.
However, she wasn't going to change just yet. Mei Ling needed to express her anger one way or the other.
“Just shut up, she's coming!”, One of the workers who were in on her plan urged as they heard heels clicking.
Mei Ling entered soon after, Tall, Bulky men following behind her.
“It's locked ma'am!”, One of the bulky men said after he locked the door behind him.
“We had a job this evening!”, Mei Ling started as she took a seat in front of the five ladies who stood nervously in the room.
“We had a very important job this evening, but you blew it all!”, Mei Ling said, crossing one leg over the other.
“Ma'am! We didn't know he was going to leave that early!”, one person immediately said, an attempt to remove herself from the imminent trouble they were in.
“Shut up and take a step back!”, Mei Ling started, her voice getting very cold as the lady’s sentence infuriated her.
She continued, “The plan was simple. Give him the fucking drink and make sure he stays put.
I would come back to handle the rest!
Was that too fucking hard?!”, she asked, getting even more enraged as the ladies stayed quiet.
“Answer me!”, she commanded, immediately standing up.
“No! No ma!”, they all replied.
“Who was supposed to keep him glued to his seat!?!”, Mei Ling asked, bringing out a gun.
The lady who was in fact supposed to keep him in his seat started peeing on her body as the other ladies pointed to her.
“Ma'am!”, she called out as Mei Ling turned to her.
“Hmm you look pretty! But you couldn't do your job! Was that too hard?!”, Mei Ling asked, her mind already set.
“No, no ma'am, I was attending to another guest!”, The lady said, trying to save herself.
“Another guest? Was that the plan?!”
“Ma'am, I can explain the…!”, the lady started.
Bang!
The sound of a gunshot was suddenly heard along with a body dropping to the floor.
Mei Ling had shot the lady.
She might have looked dainty, but she still remained the mastermind behind a successful weapon supply chain.
Killing a whole human being didn't even pick at her conscience a tiny bit.
Staring at the dead body in shock, the rest of the ladies started shaking as they feared for their life.
“Get me a cigarette!”, she ordered as she took a seat.
One of the bulky men stepped forward to pick the body up, while the other one brought a cigarette out of his pocket.
The gravity of what had just happened settled on the ladies as they hugged each other.
They didn't expect Mei Ling to have a gun, or that she'd shoot the girl who didn't do her job right.
“You all can go home now!”, Mei Ling said as she looked in the distance, her eyes focusing on nothing in particular.
“Can we really go home now?!”, One of them asked, seeing that Mei Ling was still with the gun.
“Yes, you can! I only needed one scale goat. Next time, I want you all to do your jobs right! See…!”, Mei Ling said, dropping the gun to the floor.
As the pistol clattered on the floor, Mei Ling urged, “come on! Out you go!”
Wasting no time, the ladies scurried out one by one, passing the dead body and the bulky men who stood by the door.
Aggressively closing the door, Mei Ling winced at the loud noise the ladies made.
“Kindly make sure they're silenced!”, she said as she stood up to go to her inner room.
The bulky man who had passed her the cigarette before quickly leaving the room after the ladies.
Mei Ling was determined to get with Luciano, she wasn't going to just give up after one try.
She was close in Bologna, and she was close earlier, Mei Ling was sure she would have her way with him soon.

Back in Luciano's mansion, Isabella closed the door to her personal bathroom after turning the lights off.
She wrapped the towel around her body as she went forward to change into something else.
Isabella laid carefully on her bed despite the pain between her legs.
fastidioso!, Isabella thought as she moved to a comfortable position on the bed.
What did I get after being patient and hardworking?!, She asked herself as she reflected on her actions in the mansion.
She had settled to not do anything rash in the mansion because she thought of her family, and what Luciano could possibly do to them.
She stared at the window as she wondered what would become of her family if she acted on the spontaneous thought she had gotten in the bathroom.
Will he continue?!, Isabella asked herself again as she tried to give reason to avoid doing something rash.
However, she had had enough and she had settled to put herself first.
