Chapter Five: Her Many Masks
On camera, she was everything.
Everything but herself.
Mia kept a list. Not in ink, not on paper—but in her head. Etched like scars she could trace in the dark when sleep refused to come.
Each scene, each persona, each version of Maui was a performance, a prison, a paycheck.
1. The Virgin Fantasy
She wore white lace, bows in her hair.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYubYLCYWR
She had to act nervous, bite her lip, shake a little.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujhpI2ByoA
The script was clear: “You’re scared. Innocent. But you want it.”
The man was twice her age.
He called her baby and told her to cry.
So she did. Not because she felt anything…12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxUD22974n
…but because she knew what sold.
The comment section exploded.
“So real!”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41QHauqZsO
“Damn, she’s perfect.”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2lUYJj19B
“Can’t believe this is her first.”
It wasn’t.
It was her ninth.
2. The Cheating Housewife
A silk robe, heels too tall, lipstick too red.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0UG7IFTwL
She opened the door like she was expecting the delivery boy.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih308OITWg
The pizza box was empty—but her cleavage wasn’t.
She moaned lines like “My husband’s never home...”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYBzdTTuVU
She fake-laughed.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4R3Y7pEWB
She spread her legs like it was dinner time.
Her co-star was rough, smacked her ass, called her slut.
The comments flooded in.
“Best MILF performance this year.”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCiM6TxBdS
“Maui knows how to take it.”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX6CDit7M3
“Wish I had a neighbor like that.”
Mia was 23.
Not a wife.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP7JfyFUXi
Not a mother.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScVQcumW86
But always… a product.
3. The Crying Doll
A darker script.
No safe words.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fv7l6Nb4g
No softness.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v1OTeYTDE
Only tears—real ones, this time.
She hated that she could cry so easily now.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbArzTMPH3A
She hated more that the director clapped when she did.
They blindfolded her.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdJymy5Mbk
Tied her hands.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvg1ZF1e9f
Told her to beg.
She didn’t have to fake the shaking this time.
After the shoot, she vomited in the bathroom.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KGQq3rtho
Her manager just said, “We warned you, ‘Gonzo’ is rough. But you pulled it off.”
“That scream was so hot.”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaDv4cuqi3
“Maui’s pain is my pleasure.”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJBRjkXYA6
“More of this, please!”
She made ₱40,000 for that scene.
She used it to pay for Pia’s new schoolbooks.
4. The Wild One
She wore a collar. Barked.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXao4f28lR
Acted like a pet in heat.
She was told to crawl, purr, even meow.
The men laughed behind the scenes, whispering about how far she’d go.
She licked boots. Giggled on cue.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrkPi9JoXl
Let someone spit on her chest.
After the shoot, she didn’t cry.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q7ouqllHe
She just wiped the drool and went straight to the car.
5. The Girl Next Door
Sometimes, the simpler roles hurt more.
The ones where she had to look in love.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxeoEuxiBh
Where she had to pretend he was the only one.
Soft giggles. Long eye contact. Tender kisses.
Those were the days she missed real touch the most.
The warmth of a palm not followed by a price.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSYpVLWLnq
The kiss that wasn’t cut for angles.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXr991kTnW
The kind that lingered even after the camera stopped.
But no one kissed her like that off-camera.
Only Maui got kissed like that.
Never Mia.
She had been all of them.
The virgin.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOeJBXLXUw
The wife.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb77AQ8rFhv
The prey.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfyZ6HRgLv
The kitten.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPRiSF8XQK
The tease.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhHORxzYwJ
The lover.
But never herself.
Never the girl who loved pancit canton with hard-boiled eggs.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacbhEEOgIh
Never the big sister who brushed Pia’s hair before school.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2Bq9YRfUo
Never the daughter who once dreamed of becoming a nurse.
That night, she lay in bed and wondered…
If someone loved her…12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlXVudUBqM
Would they still love her after seeing all her faces?
Or would they only ever see Maui?
