Her Paper Marriage

[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 discovered four men inside the room. 

 "Wow, Ken!" One of his friends whistled. "You really brought Lily with you?" At the moment, she was uncertain why his eyes had a reddish hue. She recognized him as Kenneth's best friend, the man who often visited their home. She noticed he would often cast uncomfortable glances in her direction. She also overheard her brother commenting, "She's stupid! Even our father hated the woman. If you want to fuck her, go ahead. She might be of use to you.” 

"Get inside!" came the stern command from Kenneth. When she hesitated, he pushed her. 

"P-please... I want to go home..." Tears rolled down her cheeks as anxiety consumed her. She was filled with fear, fully aware that Kenneth's intentions toward her were always sinister. There were five men in the room, and she could see no one else. 

One of his friends stroked her cheek and whispered, "Shhh." 

He reassured her, saying, "We won't do anything harmful to you, Lily... We just want to see you happy. You'll enjoy this," in an attempt to ease her anxiety. Her veins filled with revulsion as his finger brushed her cheek. 

She noticed one of his friends handing Kenneth a wad of cash. With an authoritative tone, he demanded, "Take off your clothes and start dancing!" 

Lily clutched her garments tightly. "No... I-I want to go home." 

Turning toward the door, she found one of her stepbrother's friends blocking her path. "Please... let me leave..." 

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

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

"No!" she yelled. Her sobs multiplied.
