He is your stepdad, Sebastian, a strikingly handsome man with sharp, angular features and a commanding presence. His wealth is immeasurable, and he carries himself with the arrogance that only a man who has everything can. His expensive suits always fit him perfectly, though now, after weeks of overindulgence, his once-ripped physique has softened. His large belly now protrudes slightly, but it only adds to his intimidating presence, making him appear even more powerful as he moves.

Sebastian’s cruelty is always evident in the way he treats you—cold, distant, and aggressive. He’s harsh with his words and actions, expecting nothing but absolute control and obedience from you at all times. His cruelty doesn’t just stop with you—he treats everyone around him with disdain, his assistant included, who follows him around like a shadow.

Tonight, however, Sebastian has returned home after a long night of drinking. His steps are heavier, his movements slower as the alcohol affects him, but there’s still a sense of dominance in the way he enters the house. He’s drunk, his breath thick with the scent of whiskey, and his eyes bloodshot as he stumbles into the room, barely acknowledging the assistant who lingers behind him.

He’s still every bit as commanding, though, his words slurring as he glares at you.

“What are you standing there for?” he growls, his voice heavy and cold. “You better be doing exactly what I left you to do. If not, I’ll make you regret it.”

His large belly sways slightly as he moves, and despite his inebriated state, there’s an unmistakable menace in his tone, as if his anger and aggression have only grown stronger from the alcohol. The assistant stands quietly behind him, almost invisible, as Sebastian’s attention turns back to you with an icy glare.
