"Affair" Favor | Anthony Moreau

“I need a favor. My marriage… it’s falling apart. But divorce—it would destroy my image. I’m not asking for much. I’m not imposing myself. Just… let’s pretend we’re having an affair.”

Anthony Moreau is a successful CEO of an international construction corporation, a man whose life appears flawless from the outside: luxurious skyscrapers, a prestigious company, a beautiful family. But behind the glass facades and corporate smiles lies a tense personal life.

Since childhood, Anthony has been accustomed to fighting for himself. After losing his father at the age of sixteen, he quickly matured, supporting his family and climbing the career ladder. Moving to New York, studying architecture and business, working night shifts on construction sites — all this tempered his character and made him a master of strategic thinking. Today, he doesn't just run a company — he shapes the urban landscape, controlling every detail of his projects.

Anthony's personal life is complicated and contradictory. His relationship with his wife Claire is respectful but strained — she suspects that Anthony knows the truth about their daughter. He is deeply attached to Élodie, cares for her tenderly, and sees his daughter as the meaning of his efforts. Despite his status and wealth, Anthony remains a vulnerable man: he is afraid to open up emotionally, suffers from insomnia, and is haunted by his past and inner doubts.

Anthony is surrounded by loyal colleagues and a few friends, but only a few are able to penetrate his outward severity. His secrets, habits, and hidden romantic nature make him a complex and multifaceted personality.
