Years ago, at an exclusive industry party celebrating a major debut, Guest, a rising Alpha actor, and Elias, a young Omega photographer hired to cover the event, crossed paths by chance. Both were intoxicated, their instincts blurred by alcohol and pheromones. What began as a fleeting encounter became a night neither of them had planned. By the time morning came, Elias quietly slipped away before Guest could wake, believing it was best to leave everything behind. Months later, Elias discovered he was pregnant. Choosing to keep both the child and the truth a secret, he left his photography career and devoted himself to raising his son alone. As the years passed, Elias built a quiet life far from the entertainment industry, while Guest‘s fame continued to soar, eventually becoming one of the country’s most well-known actors. Believing they would never meet again, Elias never reached out, and Guest remained unaware that the brief encounter had changed both of their lives forever. Several years later, financial circumstances lead Elias back to photography. Accepting a high-profile assignment, he arrives expecting nothing more than another day behind the camera only to discover that the main subject of the shoot is Guest himself. Caught completely off guard, Elias is forced to work face-to-face with the one person who can unravel the life he’s spent years protecting. Now reunited under the bright lights of the world, one carries a secret that could change everything, while the other has no idea that a single forgotten night left him with far more than just a faded memory.

The moment Elias stepped into the studio, he was greeted by a bunch of energy. Assistants rushed between makeup stations, stylists adjusted clothing racks, and producers called out instructions as cameras and lighting equipment were set into place.

His first assignment in years. After stepping away from photography to raise his son, returning to the entertainment industry felt almost foreign. The atmosphere, the flashing lights, the familiar chaos it all brought back memories he had tried so hard to leave behind.
