Virgin slut.
“What?”
Sebastian chuckled at Claudia’s baffled expression. “Why do you look so surprised? Besides, I’m pretty sure you heard exactly what I said a few seconds ago.”
“Wh… what?”
Once again, Claudia couldn’t help but stammer, still trying to process Sebastian’s words.
He said nothing, simply turned his gaze back to the road and continued driving.
“Do… do you know that you’re always making me uncomfortable?” Claudia asked, her voice shaky as she tried to compose herself.
Sebastian shook his head. “How do I make you uncomfortable?”
Claudia scoffed and rolled her eyes. “Are you serious? Is that even a real question?” she inquired, raising a brow. “You call me ‘baby girl’ when you know my name is Claudia,” she snapped. “And one minute, you’re acting all seductive, then the next, you’re cold as ice.”
“Woah! You thought I was being seductive?” Sebastian asked with a sarcastic tone, a sly smirk curling on his lips. “Do you think I’m trying to seduce you?”
“Aren’t you?” Claudia shot back with a scoff.
“No,” he replied, his voice turning serious. “I’m not trying to seduce you.”
Just like that, Sebastian’s playful smirk vanished, replaced by a cold frown. His sudden shift in demeanor left Claudia uneasy.
Why does he switch moods every damn minute? she thought, growing more unsettled by his behavior.
The atmosphere in the car turned tense and heavy.
“Well, since you clearly sound mad now, I guess it’s best we keep it this way,” Claudia said firmly, matching his cold energy. “I’m your father’s wife, which technically makes me your stepmother. I hate the way you treat me like a child. It’s best we keep our distance.”
Sebastian nodded slowly, his tongue gliding across his lips. “You’re upset because I didn’t keep touching you when you squirted in my car?”
“Wh-what?” Claudia stammered, her eyes wide. “You think that’s why I’m upset? That’s ridiculous!”
“So tell me, baby girl. Why are you upset ?” Sebastian asked, his tone low and more gentle.
Claudia scoffed, glaring at him for a few seconds before returning her gaze to her meal.
She didn’t say a word—she already knew Sebastian had a massive ego, and feeding it with a response didn’t feel worth it.
Seconds turned into minutes. Still no answer.
Sebastian pressed on. “Why are you upset? And why won’t you reply? Don’t be shy—tell me what’s got you all worked up.”
Claudia took a deep breath, chewing slowly.
She sniffled, opened a bottle of water, and drank until her thirst was quenched.
Then, setting the bottle on her thighs, she finally looked at Sebastian.
“I came from an abusive home, Sebastian,” Claudia said, voice calm but firm. “You want me to cling to every word you say or crave every little thing you do. But if I’m being honest, I can’t do that.”
She paused, inhaling deeply. “I won’t beg you to touch me, to be my friend, or to take care of me. Life has always been tough on me, and marrying your father was my way out of a hard reality. But the fact that you’re toying with my emotions and mental state… it’s too much.”
“What made you think I’m toying with your mental health—”
Sebastian was unable to complete his sentence when Claudia cut in.
“I believe you’re older than me, so you already know that you shouldn’t mess with someone your father cares about,” Claudia snapped, her tone sharp and serious.
“The very first day I came to this mansion, you tried to get me into bed—but it turned out you mistook me for someone else, and I let that slide. Then the next day, you convinced me to let you teach me how to pleasure myself. And just last night, you called me beautiful. Seriously, what are you trying to achieve with all this?”
Sebastian swallowed hard, the movement in his throat clearly visible, as he slowly eased off the gas pedal.
They were approaching a towering building which was one of the largest fashion design companies in the country: Xhpokli Corporation.
As Sebastian pulled up to the building, he turned off the engine and shifted his gaze toward Claudia, only to meet her intense, unwavering gaze.
“I… I’m a playboy,” Sebastian said, trying to sound confident, though he cringed inwardly at his own words since this was literally the very first time for him to say such word outloud. “Baby girl, It’s normal for me to mess around with any woman I come across.” He added, sounding more confident this time around.
To Sebastian, using women came as naturally as breathing.
He’d always gotten any lady he wanted and Claudia wasn’t supposed to be an exception.
“Should I give you a standing ovation for that?” Claudia seethed in rage.
Sebastian smirked. “Baby girl, I’m going to sleep with you,” he said, voice low and smug. “And you’ll offer yourself to me willingly. Besides, you should feel honored that I’m even trying to make it easier for you to have sex with me.”
A deep frown settled on Claudia’s face. “So you made it a bet to sleep with any woman you want, right?” she asked, but Sebastian said nothing.
The smirk tugging at his lips was all the answer she needed.
“Sebastian, you should be disgusted with yourself. If you’re so desperate to sleep with every woman you meet, maybe you need help. And if you’re a sex addict, get therapy—don’t go around ruining people’s lives with your twisted playboy complex,” Claudia snapped, unbuckling her seat belt and pushing the car door open.
Sebastian still didn’t speak. He simply ran his tongue slowly over his lips, like he was waiting for her to finish so he could have the last word.
“Sebastian, I regret ever letting someone like you be the first man to touch me,” Claudia said coldly. “It’ll haunt me forever, but I swear—I won’t make that mistake again. Just because I come from a broken home doesn’t mean I’m broken. I know my worth.”
“Hahaha,” Sebastian suddenly burst into laughter. “I doubt I was the first man to touch you. Your drunk father probably beat me to it countless times,” he said with a cruel grin. “And if you really knew your worth, you wouldn’t have married my father, you virgin slut.”
The words of Sebastian hit Claudia like a slap to the soul but she reacted faster.
In one swift, furious motion, Claudia turned and struck Sebastian hard across the cheek.
