“And this so-called punishment of yours? A few days locked up, a little starvation, a couple slaps, no spending money. You didn’t even leave a mark on her.”
“I wanted her gone. If she died, you’d finally go back to giving me all your love, just like it used to be.”
Ethan couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He stared at Natalie, like he was seeing her for the first time.
All because he’d shown a little kindness to Isabella, Natalie wanted her dead? Isabella was his wife.
He’d lied to Isabella, toyed with her feelings, and barely tried to make it right. For Natalie, he divorced her, did everything Natalie wanted. He’d made sure Isabella left empty-handed.
He never realized he was sending Isabella straight into hell.
Natalie’s obsession was unreal.
In a rush of memories, he saw Isabella’s face in every fight she ever had with Natalie. Every time, he picked at Isabella, blamed her for everything, never once believing her side. Isabella would cry and shout that he was blind, that he always took Natalie’s word for it, swallowed every lie, and couldn’t even see he was being played.
She told him straight up that, for all his business smarts, he was clueless about people. He couldn’t even figure out if Natalie was real or fake.
She said Natalie wasn’t the saint she pretended to be, Natalie was the nastiest, most two-faced woman in Cabinda.
Isabella had been right about all of it.
He really had been blind. He’d judged Natalie all wrong. His favoritism and that stubborn love for Natalie, his habit of spoiling her, all of it had blown up and destroyed them both—Natalie and Isabella.
It was on him.
He was the one who had truly ruined Isabella, the one who made it all happen.
Jordan walked in with the police behind him.

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
Author, please get your characters names right. You always messing them up!...
I wish Harold will win Isabella's heart. I was so sad when Isabela was taken for granted coldly and cruelly by her supposed to be husband, and trapped,mocked and humiliated non stop by Natalie. This was so cruel, both don't deserve Isabela' forgiveness I wish for a happy ending between Isabela and Harold, he has the right to be happy after the long wait....
Frankly, the story initially was going quite good and the pacing was just right. unfortunately after Ethan got the dream of his past life, the story has been going in circles. Ethan's spouting the same nonsense every time he sees Isabella, they both have same conversations over and over. The authors monologue too has been the same for almost 400 chapters. Irrespective of which character the writing the just a repetition of what someone had gone through in the past and what made a certain character feel the emotions. York got introduced in 800 chapters yet nothing significant happened till date. Isabella is soft with Harold and kind of disgusted with Ethan, yet it is not entirely clear with whom she might end up. If she stays single i am fine with it but the story is clearly about Isabella and Ethan so almost 1000 chapters without seeing any progress in their relationship is frustrating. Except for being blindly in love and few aggressive instances with Isabella, Ethan actually isnt a bad person so i am fine if he can win her back. Even though Harold is coming off as a good second lead, i am somehow unable to warm upto him. Even the bad people in the story are not really facing any real consequences. I hate Jackson for his hypocrisy. I hate Jordan and Natalie for their self-righteouness and selfishness. I also hate Deborah, except when she is handing it out to Natalie. I am almost on the verge of dropping this story....
Why are they acting like kids 🤣😭...
Ethan is actually not that bad if we take out his blind love for Natalie...
