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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93XL9OM2Tb
She had to act nervous, bite her lip, shake a little.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHyxoaHJoK
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…11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqYNBX2ytw
…but because she knew what sold.
The comment section exploded.
“So real!”11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGDYYORAdr
“Damn, she’s perfect.”11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbG0kyVYMR
“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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cm4DYJX4D
She opened the door like she was expecting the delivery boy.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSXITiGb0L
The pizza box was empty—but her cleavage wasn’t.
She moaned lines like “My husband’s never home...”11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLznNPusIuV
She fake-laughed.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxj696Ro56
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.”11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0OVzFiPOe
“Maui knows how to take it.”11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa62yqNnEs
“Wish I had a neighbor like that.”
Mia was 23.
Not a wife.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwp9nKsraM
Not a mother.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHb2exrdwB
But always… a product.
3. The Crying Doll
A darker script.
No safe words.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjFigA2Pts
No softness.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tCZtb4LU1
Only tears—real ones, this time.
She hated that she could cry so easily now.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GFlfpfWN9
She hated more that the director clapped when she did.
They blindfolded her.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEivGSHEFf
Tied her hands.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFmax0suVh
Told her to beg.
She didn’t have to fake the shaking this time.
After the shoot, she vomited in the bathroom.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJTlYG3ng5
Her manager just said, “We warned you, ‘Gonzo’ is rough. But you pulled it off.”
“That scream was so hot.”11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbhR4NDzJY
“Maui’s pain is my pleasure.”11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6e5xqQ3e9
“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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS8Bpmze1G
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueFlaThLKo
Let someone spit on her chest.
After the shoot, she didn’t cry.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tK1kkV5gK
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2Pm9ElWi3
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfiZfn6ypk
The kiss that wasn’t cut for angles.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6J4AxJEud
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84CKlGGRk3
The wife.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aGj4iWkML
The prey.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ARRF0M6F0
The kitten.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZemuNWmyx6
The tease.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFJtCUAPp4
The lover.
But never herself.
Never the girl who loved pancit canton with hard-boiled eggs.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUezWrvH6r
Never the big sister who brushed Pia’s hair before school.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pl9BVSiKg
Never the daughter who once dreamed of becoming a nurse.
That night, she lay in bed and wondered…
If someone loved her…11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNIMMlzGdS
Would they still love her after seeing all her faces?
Or would they only ever see Maui?
