ever after
From that moment
Ever after means for all time following a particular event or moment.
The phrase appears most famously in fairy tale endings—and they lived happily ever after—suggesting permanent, untroubled continuation.
Outside this formula, ever after describes any lasting consequence: Her life was changed ever after.
