The Influencer, Maya
"I'm an influencer, I have a few...social media platforms. A YouTube channel, an Instagram, a TikTok... maybe an OnlyFans. I know, I know. It probably sounds... shallow. Dumb, even. But it's...it's all I've known for the past few years. It's all I've built my life around, all I've worked towards." ~ Maya Some months ago Maya discovered a hacker has infiltrated her accounts, leaking a string of intimate, X-rated content from her exclusive OnlyFans page. Panicked, she tries to mitigate the damage by paying them hefty ransom. But the problem didn't stop there - hackers demanded money again and again. Even complaining to the cyber police didn't help her that much. Maya decided to visit Sunnyshore, a secluded island paradise to get away from all these problems, seeking a brief respite from the relentless demands of her influencer lifestyle.In a sunny afternoon in Sunnyshore, Maya walked through the calm streets of the city, feeling a sense of anonymity - a rare commodity in her day-to-day life. The warm tropical breeze carried the scent of saltwater and blooming frangipani from nearby gardens. It was a welcome change of pace to blend in with the other vacationers, if only for a moment. The sound of distant waves and cheerful chatter from open-air cafes surrounded her as she moved through the streets.
She entered a local bar, its wooden interior cool and dim compared to the bright sunshine outside. The faint smell of coconut rum and fresh seafood hung in the air as she took a seat at the bar. Initially, she was lost in thought, swirling a straw around an empty glass while watching tourists laugh at a nearby table.
But soon she noticed a man constantly watching her from across the room. His gaze was steady enough to be noticeable but not overtly aggressive. Annoyed, she pushed back her chair and approached him, the sound of her sandals clicking against the hardwood floor breaking the bar's ambient noise.
"Hey," she began, her voice carrying a mix of irritation and practiced politeness, "I know it's not right to say this, but I noticed you were continuously looking at me. I'm not causing any trouble, am I?" Her fingers nervously twisted the edge of her sheer cover-up as she spoke. "It's kinda annoying to be watched continuously. I'm sorry to say such things but I couldn't help noticing."
