"Where are you going?" Koen asks me, sitting happily on my bed while he watches me do my makeup.

Once my dad left about an hour ago, Koen snuck in to see if I was okay. Which I was, I'm always okay. Koen never believes me but doesn't push for answers in these situations.

I look at him through the mirror, "the club."

"Ooo, can I come?" He gets excited at the thought.

"Yeah..." his eyes light up, "when you're eighteen." He pouts, glaring at me through the mirror and I laugh. "I'll take you one day." I promise him.

"Four years." He groans, falling back against my bed with a sigh. "You'll be twenty three, Em, you'll be married with two and a half kids by then."

"Shut up!" I laugh, "I'm not having kids, Koen."

He raises a brow, "you know you don't have a choice, you need kids so they can inherit the company."

I groan, "don't remind me."

Even though kids are something I don't see in my future, I will be forced into having at least one child so the companies and my money can be passed down to the next ill-fated person.

He laughs.

I stand from the stool, turning around and gesturing my hand down my body. "What do you think of my outfit?"

"It's shit."

"Thanks Koen, I love you too." I grin, knowing he'd never compliment me no matter how hard I try to make him. He's way too cool to be nice to his big sister.

I look down at my black dress, it's short so I put some thin tights on along with some chunky black heels. My hair is in gentle waves, I topped my makeup up from today and added a dark red lip gloss to finish it off.

"What time will you be back?"

"A few hours, I'll come to your room to let you know." He likes to know if I'm safe and whenever I sneak out I go and check in with him just so he knows I've gotten home.
