(Sasha's POV)

I put the last touches on my makeup before I start to perfect my curly brown hair. After yesterday's events and discovery, I wasn't thinking in a normal person's point of view. I couldn't think like a normal human, I had to alter my mindset and get my evil persona out. I knew LeRoy had noticed my little change yet he remained silent about it. I wouldn't take it as an encouragement though he hadn't intervened.

My thoughts wandered to tonight's event, my behaviour had to be perfect. I need to show I am not a push over and that my father did the correct decision of making me head of our clan. Furthermore, I need to prove that I don't need to marry to lead the crew, I am capable of making decisions. I needed to prove. I was too absorbed in my thoughts while curling the bottom of my hair that I didn't realize that Dylan had entered the room.

"Hey, erm can I talk to you for a bit?" he asked. I nodded, through my reflection in the mirror. He cleared his throat and sat on my bed as I continued curling my hair. "I'm sorry. I know that you're already stressed with the clan takeover and running your family's company. Now adding this new burden on you. Knowing I'm part of it. I'm sorry Sasha" he rambled, shaking his head in shame.

I turned from my vanity, "What are you talking about Dee? I was born into this. It's not you who should be apologizing, it's supposed to be me. Landen is doing this because of me" I said.

"What makes you think that? You don't know Landen like how I know him. You are the queen in the chess game but it you are taken down; the king wouldn't be protected. Lee would be nothing without you" Dylan said with such thick emotions.

I stared at him, a gut feeling telling me he's hiding something and I'm definitely finding it out now. "Are you saying that Landen is full on after Savio? And marrying me would weaken Savio?" I asked with anger. Dylan held my stare, replying me with only a nod. I stayed silent, hoping he would elaborate.

"Lee is going to kill me" he mumbled to himself.

"What is it Dee?" I used the same nickname LeRoy and I made.

He took a deep breath, "When we were younger, Landen was the apple of everyone's eye until Lee was born. All the attention was towards him and apparently Landen got jealous. My mom told me the type of tantrums he would pull. But as he got older, they believed he grew out of it. He was close to Lee, showing him things and teaching him along the way. Everyone still loved Lee most among all his siblings, Lekaa can agree with that. Landen had started to grow impatient. I've seen him implanting stuff in Lee's room but I managed to get it out before Lee got in trouble. He hates Lee. I've heard him say it before but I never said anything to Lee. He loves his brother too much" Dylan confessed to me.

"Why are you hunted along?" I asked confused.

"I'm his right handman, his knight. Plus I've ever confronted Landen which his father overheard. Thus the reason for Landen not getting the Naslen clan. He wasn't eligible. He's was clouded by fury, hate and jealousy" he explained further. I nod my head in understanding.
