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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbgzmAtpbj
She had to act nervous, bite her lip, shake a little.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbrbdgxtYH
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…10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydokY1rwnr
…but because she knew what sold.
The comment section exploded.
“So real!”10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyroJr8khl
“Damn, she’s perfect.”10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM6ZpoNCo4
“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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzii4F5hip
She opened the door like she was expecting the delivery boy.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGtFddiHEG
The pizza box was empty—but her cleavage wasn’t.
She moaned lines like “My husband’s never home...”10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cWKwDFHnl
She fake-laughed.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZyJ1dsCE6
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.”10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJmvsrzOPP
“Maui knows how to take it.”10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw3f8tE0Mk
“Wish I had a neighbor like that.”
Mia was 23.
Not a wife.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ1T3EcVJ4
Not a mother.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju2mWXH8hw
But always… a product.
3. The Crying Doll
A darker script.
No safe words.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObMIrtWrC0
No softness.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6EyJSXYOb
Only tears—real ones, this time.
She hated that she could cry so easily now.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i8yd6mnzw
She hated more that the director clapped when she did.
They blindfolded her.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H4lY5LX0L
Tied her hands.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRH83ZkTFD
Told her to beg.
She didn’t have to fake the shaking this time.
After the shoot, she vomited in the bathroom.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKekodNn2uq
Her manager just said, “We warned you, ‘Gonzo’ is rough. But you pulled it off.”
“That scream was so hot.”10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhdhsmB2TA
“Maui’s pain is my pleasure.”10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYDmDPqtRD
“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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXABEtOses
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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5wLf2Axwc
Let someone spit on her chest.
After the shoot, she didn’t cry.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijCk7FmLRz
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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JEyji9DPA
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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYho2yvfUPa
The kiss that wasn’t cut for angles.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dwhdmvATD
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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CabvarzXs
The wife.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Lr1YaR3AO
The prey.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBrNplvpj6
The kitten.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms2V76Oaee
The tease.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfppYQ6g8i
The lover.
But never herself.
Never the girl who loved pancit canton with hard-boiled eggs.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXCYs9RN6c
Never the big sister who brushed Pia’s hair before school.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuiZy4VTRB
Never the daughter who once dreamed of becoming a nurse.
That night, she lay in bed and wondered…
If someone loved her…10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVySQJTc3eH
Would they still love her after seeing all her faces?
Or would they only ever see Maui?
