The speaker, Elena, is a young woman who was groomed by her mother, Sachin, to become a star in the film industry. Sachin, a former drama school student, focused all her energy on making Elena a star, even going as far as homeschooling her and hiring acting tutors. Elena, however, was not comfortable with the pressure and the constant comparison to her mother.
One day, Elena's mother, Sachin, got a call from Elijah Miller, a renowned director, about an audition for one of his films. Elena was excited but also nervous. During the audition, Elena tripped and fell, and Chloe, a fellow actress, took advantage of the situation to steal her script. Despite the incident, Elena was offered a role in the film.
However, Elijah decided to cast Sachin in the lead role instead of Elena, which left Elena feeling hurt and betrayed. She accused her mother of using her to get the audition and then flirting with Elijah to get the role. Sachin denied the accusations, explaining that she had always wanted Elena to become a star.
A few days later, Elijah revealed that he had always had a crush on Sachin and wrote the script with her in mind. He had asked Sachin several times to act in the film, but she had always denied. When she agreed, she found out she was pregnant with Elena. Sachin told Elijah that she could not act in the film, but Elijah insisted that she take the role.
After hearing Elijah's confession, Elena felt extremely guilty and apologized to her mother. Sachin accepted Elijah's offer to take the role, but she also told Elijah that the movie was scrapped. Elena then went to film school and got a degree in filmmaking. The story concludes with Elena stating that it's never too late to achieve your dreams.
