All Chapters of After Stealing My Moon Mark, the Heiress Thought She Could Be Luna: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

In my last life, I died three days after Layla became a "savior."She stood beside my hospital bed, still wearing the white rescue jacket stained with blood. In front of the cameras, that jacket had earned her millions of likes. Away from the cameras, she hated the smell of blood on the cuffs and sprayed them with perfume again and again."Rowan, why do you always have to ruin things for me?"She fed concentrated wolfsbane into my IV, sounding like she was scolding an assistant who had forgotten to book her a salon appointment."Once Seraphina dies, I'll be her savior. Even if Adrian doesn't love me yet, he'll remember me. And yet you had to call the police and hide the wolf-luring resin."I tried to pull the needle out, but Gregory Vale pinned my wrist to the bed.Mara Vale stood on the other side and reminded me coldly that the Vales had paid my tuition and given me a place to live. My life had stopped belonging to me long ago.Layla laughed at that. "A charity case who can die for m

On my first day after quitting, Layla missed two brand meetings.On the second day she got two sponsors' names the wrong way round.On the third day she sent a voice message from the work account. "Even if Seraphina wakes up, she has no value left. Is Adrian supposed to spend his whole life looking after an invalid?"In the past, an error like that would never have stayed online for more than ten seconds. I would have withdrawn it, contacted the platform, and written an apology for her.Now there was nobody to handle it.The message was forwarded tens of thousands of times.Layla didn't apologize. Instead, she berated me in the team chat, claiming that quitting didn't excuse me from staying on call. She had forgotten the group had already been made public, so that message spread with the rest.A brand manager called and demanded she put out a clarification within half an hour.Out of habit, Layla held her phone toward the chair where I used to sit. Her hand was halfway there before she

Layla was held for only one night.I had blocked most of the wine, and the toxicology results weren't back yet. The Vales' lawyer characterized the attack as a momentary loss of control. Layla posted substantial bail, left the station, and was placed under a restraining order protecting Seraphina.Anyone normal would at least have been frightened at that point.Layla wasn't. She decided she had failed only because Seraphina turned up unexpectedly and left Adrian no time to see who really suited him.The restraining order was written very clearly. She was not to enter the hospital floor where Seraphina was, not to contact either of them directly or indirectly, and not to have anyone deliver medicine, food or gifts on her behalf.Layla read it and threw the paper in the bin."That's only a stock form lawyers use to scare people. If Adrian truly didn't want to see me, why would he let me know which hospital Seraphina is in?"The address had come from the police paperwork, yet she could st

After Layla's arrest the case moved very fast.She had left far too much evidence behind.The original event footage recorded her waiting for the live light. The resin sample and the scent on her gloves proved she had touched Seraphina's cloak. The moonstone necklace preserved her wishing the injured woman dead and planning how to approach Adrian at the funeral.The complete training-hall audio, my injury report, and Layla's slip about the east door during her livestream proved that she had ordered Tessa to beat me.The wolfsbane wine at the dinner, the timing of the faked photograph, the order for the lily gift set, the extraction machine log, the ward cameras and the sealed syringe proved that after her first failure she had gone on trying to hurt Seraphina.Every item corroborated another.Tessa admitted to staging footage, abducting me, slapping and kicking me, striking me with a baton, and forcing me to record a false confession. She submitted the original files and received some
