What the mask hides.

Let's get to know the Woods family a little bit. A family of traditions and Gustus was excited that his wife was pregnant, not just with one, but with twins, a girl and a boy, the heir who would take over his business when it grew up. What he didn't expect was that in his wife's family there had already been cases of intersexuality and that, in reality, the boy turned out to be a baby with both genders. Indra adored her twins or twin and twin, since the decision was up to her daughter.

For a while Gustus hoped that she would decide to define herself as a boy and have the operation when the time came. There was even a season when he did not allow the twins to be together, he did not want Alicia's femininity to confuse Alex. His efforts were in vain, Alex changed her name to Lexa and to top it off for the patriarch, she decided to stay as she was:

- I'm not going to accept a monster - he once told her when she was a teenager - get an operation or you'll forget that you're my daughter

That was the day when Alicia became the only daughter of Gustus Woods and Lexa Woods the spawn of the family. Indra always came to her daughter's defense, until the day they ended up getting divorced. Opening more gaps between the twins.

Lexa stayed up late drinking in her office, so much so that she fell asleep leaning against her desk, when she woke up in the middle of the night she made a moaning sound and put her hand on her neck. She sighed and, head down, went to her room, cold and lonely like every night, collapsing on the soft and expensive sheets of her bed:

- Bitter- he muttered under his breath before snorting- and what the hell does she know? She doesn't know anything about my life. Only Alicia's version.

Clarke managed to message Raven, as she had told her, Pike thinks she's dead and that's a relief, at least for a while, her stay in that house was temporary, since Lexa had already given her an ultimatum, she should leave before she found out she's an impostor, for the moment it was her turn to pretend to be the woman who has lost the love of her life. She looked at her hand, she still had her wedding ring on, the one that wasn't hers. If not Eliza Lex's, she frowned, because fate was indeed capricious, Miss Lex, Mrs. Lexa Woods. For a moment she felt sorry.

She turned over between those luxurious sheets, she had never slept in such a distinguished place. Her mother had had her when she was young, always working to get ahead, a good mother and a fighter, but terrible when it came to choosing husbands. Because, thanks to one of them, she is currently behind bars.

Let's find out a little about Clarke's life. She was left alone as a teenager, she went through foster homes, so she made her own way, running away from social workers whenever they found her, you could say she's the perfect escape artist, until she met Pike just after turning nineteen. Promising her that he would make her a star, the porn industry is not what most people think. Unless it's produced by a well-known, millionaire production company, which always hires renowned porn actresses, you don't make thousands or millions of dollars, you make enough to survive the month. She met Raven thanks to the brunette finding her by chance, totally helpless, between Raven, Niylah and Clarke, they formed the bunnies of Pike Industries. Obviously each one had her stage name, the blonde's was Miss. Cocos, Niylah's was Orgasmis and Raven was Chichi. Depending on the scripts, the jobs and the partners he had, it was more bearable or not. You could say that it was more bearable when he played a gay character, after all, they are mostly movies for men or are designed for them, which meant that they had to intensify the pleasure for them. At least, Clarke was already of age when she went there, but she had known girls who even from when they were minors or others who not only work in porn, but also prostitute them. Pike was a pig, there was no doubt about that, but he didn't prostitute them, at least not directly, since they had signed a contract and every script he put on the table, they had to do it. Whether it was soft or hard porn, with a woman or a man the size of four by four. Until she got tired of Pike making a fortune at her expense, she would take what was rightfully hers and leave. South Carolina. That's where Jake was supposed to be, her biological father, that man she never got to know.
