PROLOGUE

[This chapter may disturb some readers. A trigger warning is advised.]

LILY'S heart was beating frantically. She was driven by her stepbrother Kenneth to a hotel-based bachelor party for a friend. Even though she was aware of the man's ulterior motivations, she felt compelled to go with him out of concern for her safety.

“I’ll kill your precious Manang Puring if you disobey me,” she remembers Kenneth's ghostly, demonic smile before he took her to that place.

"Hello, boys!" he said right after they opened the door of one suite.

They found four men inside the room.

“Wow, Ken!” One of his friends whistled. “You really took Lily with you?” She was unsure of why his eyes were crimson at the time. She recognizes him as Kenneth's best friend, the man who frequently stops by their home. She catches him casting an uncomfortable glance her way most of the time. She also heard her brother remark, "She's stupid! Even our father hated the woman. If you want to fvck her, go ahead. She might be helpful to you.”

"Get inside!" a harsh order given by Kenneth. When she hesitated, he pushed her.

“P-please…. I want to go home..." Tears streamed down her cheeks as anxiety crept over her. She was very terrified and knew that Kenneth's intentions towards her were always evil. There were five men there and she could see no one else.

One of his friends stroked her cheek while saying, "Shhh."

He said, "We won't do anything bad to you, Lily... We just want you to be happy. You'll enjoy this," in an effort to make her feel better. Her veins tingled with disgust as his finger caressed her cheek.

She saw one of his friends giving Kenneth a handful of cash. With an authoritative expression, he urged her, saying, "Throw your clothes off, then dance!"

Lily tightened her grip on her clothes. "No... I-I'm going home."

She turned towards the door, but one of her stepbrother's friends stood in her way. "Please... let me go..."

"Tsk! Is this fun for you, Ken? You said she's fun?" said one of his friends. With a grin, Kenneth took a seat on a couch.

"Aren't you enjoying yourself?", one of the men chuckled. “That is the reason why I like her. I can't wait to fvck her cowardly brains out. C’mon, Lily… show us what’s behind your clothes.”

"No!" she yelled. Her sobs multiplied.

One of them, who was already frowning, said, "Let her go!"

"I won't return the money if you get her out of here!" Kenneth expressed. His eyes narrowed as he approached her. He slapped her hard. "What we asked you to do is simple. Why don't you just follow?!"

Her hair was messed up, and her body was on the verge of breaking. "I will tell Dad what you did..."

Kenneth laughed detestably. "Seriously? When did your dad give you affection? He loves me more than you, Lily. You are dumb and useless! Nobody even gives a damn about you besides me!”

"Go, Lily. Feel free to get out. We will count to ten. Sorry if we catch you outside.” The man blocking the door tilted. She could see the excitement in his eyes.

That prompted her to leave the room and sprint down the hallway. She had to leave these beasts behind.

"Run, Lily, run!"

She burst into tears.

“Ten… Nine… Eight…”

She would definitely suffer if they caught her. She was certain that she was in danger, especially in light of the fact that Kenneth's friends were obviously not in their right minds. Perhaps they were under the influence of drugs.

She attempted to open each door one at a time despite having damp cheeks. At this point, that was her only chance for survival. Miraculously, one of those is slightly open. She entered without hesitation, but when she saw two nude people having furious sex on the bed, she felt practically sick to her stomach.

"Fvck! Who are you?” asked the man with a broad body.

She was about to open the door so she could leave once more when she realized that there were wolves outside the room waiting to devour her.

"Hmm... Sir, you didn't tell me that you requested a threesome," the woman said flirtatiously, grabbing a cigarette off the nightstand.

"Shut the fvck up! Damn it!” He clenched his teeth. Standing up, the man headed in her direction while wearing a menacing attitude. Her eyes widened in fear, especially when he approached her naked. His hard and tall masculinity was evident in her eyes. She understood that since she was the one who had unexpectedly entered the room, she had no reason to be terrified of him.

“I’ll call the police!” he threatened.

Lily was going through a lot of emotions when her vision went completely black, and she passed out. She stumbled and landed in his arms.
