Yeah, the ones stuck in the past always end up the worst.
Clinging to pain, too scared to take a step into something new.
But at this point, all I could do was live like I had nothing to lose, and everything to rebuild.
I slipped on the ring and took Damian’s hand. We chose to walk forward, together.
That winter was bitter cold, but it was Damian’s warmth that pulled me back from the edge.
He was like a single beam of light breaking through a dark, heavy night.
He lit up the pieces of me I thought were gone forever.
Married life with him was sweet and steady.
Soon, we had our first child.
From the moment she was born, I cared for her myself.
Every bottle, every lullaby, every step… I did it all.
I poured every ounce of love into our daughter, maybe trying to make up for the child I never got the chance
to meet.
In the blink of an eye, she was old enough for preschool.
And for the first time in a while, I had space to think about myself again, to chase something of my own.
Damian never once tried to hold me back.
He didn’t have that outdated belief that being his Luna meant I had to stay hidden in the background.
Instead, he encouraged me, “I know you’re a mom now, and my wife… but that doesn’t mean you stop being yourself p>
Eventually, I sat down with Damian and told him I wanted to do something meaningful. Something for me.
After a lot of thinking, I found myself drawn to postpartum care centers.
The royals owned plenty of real estate. Damian casually offered to buy me the most luxurious recovery center in Tanelle.
I turned him down.

Instead, I decided to work undercover at one of them for a while.
Learn the ropes. Figure out how the industry really worked before diving in.
I wasn’t about to start throwing money around just to look important.
I had no idea Blaine would end up being part of this story too.
That day, Halley was sitting beside me scrolling through her phone when she suddenly gasped and shoved
the screen toward my face.
“Rory! Look at this video right now p>
“Isn’t that… isn’t that the Luna Vivian p>
I blinked, confused. Then lowered my head to watch.
On screen, a pregnant woman was going at it with another woman, full–blown hair–pulling and clothes–ripping chaos.
It was intense.
I looked closer. The pregnant woman was Vivian.
She had a death grip on the other woman’s hair, screaming like she’d lost it.
“You little tramp! You seriously sent me that garbage p>
“You think he actually loves you p>
“Keep dreaming. The only reason he even looked your way is because you look a little like his ex–Luna p>
“ You come near my husband again, and I’ll rip your face off p>
The other woman clearly hadn’t planned to fight, but when Vivian started clawing at her clothes, she shoved
her back, hard.
Vivian crashed to the ground.
Her face went pale in a flash, and she curled around her belly, crying out in pain.
The camera caught the other woman’s face as she stood up.
I froze. She looked… a little like me.
Halley’s voice shot up an octave right next to me.

“Rory. Tell me I’m not crazy. That woman looks just like you p>
