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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wxK9lkvTm
She had to act nervous, bite her lip, shake a little.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FXlqHHVd3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Tpo5ANzbz
…but because she knew what sold.
The comment section exploded.
“So real!”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfcxOvOuXG
“Damn, she’s perfect.”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSl6hhepPu
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3kvGjhWNO
She opened the door like she was expecting the delivery boy.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F9ZTgVDv6
The pizza box was empty—but her cleavage wasn’t.
She moaned lines like “My husband’s never home...”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu78zJGQyK
She fake-laughed.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm4B7lzmhR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd4S5caRYG
“Maui knows how to take it.”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G0zIRT0Up
“Wish I had a neighbor like that.”
Mia was 23.
Not a wife.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0caXO7MX9P
Not a mother.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo6zdNIfUH
But always… a product.
3. The Crying Doll
A darker script.
No safe words.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ664YVi1NAK
No softness.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5IgcmoXTy
Only tears—real ones, this time.
She hated that she could cry so easily now.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWwxlvaEXA
She hated more that the director clapped when she did.
They blindfolded her.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA8vlMIJQj
Tied her hands.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCIwf2WY48
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ7UWMEqpb
Her manager just said, “We warned you, ‘Gonzo’ is rough. But you pulled it off.”
“That scream was so hot.”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAmQQS5gtS
“Maui’s pain is my pleasure.”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcYmdRlRXm
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sHxrH3ynt
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5CJqcfHG1
Let someone spit on her chest.
After the shoot, she didn’t cry.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRYCdUXOri
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt4K45WFmR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElEhQFieOk
The kiss that wasn’t cut for angles.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1kDeoxZ26
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIzgDuOVw4
The wife.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvojBILBbes
The prey.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH6RDS4Fis
The kitten.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV0PZqeiW3
The tease.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW4uwIYQe7
The lover.
But never herself.
Never the girl who loved pancit canton with hard-boiled eggs.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aAHolZv3M
Never the big sister who brushed Pia’s hair before school.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyONhZMxDJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlXHG81j9N
Would they still love her after seeing all her faces?
Or would they only ever see Maui?
