   Summary

   Stolas Goetia (age 18) has to marry Stella and sire a precautionary heir into the Goetia family. Stella is totally indifferent towards their newborn daughter. Octavia becomes the one good thing in Stolas' life. As she grows, he starts taking her to various restaurants as a means to escape the confines of the palace. He starts posting pictures of their outings on Sinstagram, accidentally gaining traction. When Stella finds out, she knows she must quickly find a way to control him before it turns into a PR disaster. She contacts her brother, who has a solution for their little problem.

   This fic spans years 2005-2020 with each chapter taking place in a separate year (except chapter 2, which starts two weeks after chapter 1 ended and extends into 2006).
