“Isabella, I’m so sorry. This is all my fault.”
“The people who did this to you… they’ve all paid for what they’ve done. The law made sure of it.”
“You can rest now, okay?”
Ethan’s eyes filled with tears. Everyone who had a direct hand in Isabella’s death was punished. But him… the one who let it all happen, the one who hurt her the most, he was the only one left unpunished. Ethan never forgave himself. The guilt ate at him every single day.
He was a shadow of his old self, thinner, quieter. He hardly slept. When he did, he always dreamt of Isabella. In those dreams, she told him she hated him. She said if she had another chance, she’d never marry him, never fall in love. Maybe it would have been better if they’d never met at all.
But Ethan wished for just the opposite. If he was given a second chance, if there was another life, he’d do anything for her. He’d love her right, only her, from the start.
“Isabella, I’m sorry, I really am. If there’s a next life, I swear, I’ll do it right. You’ll be the only one I ever love, I promise,” Ethan whispered, trying to hold back the tears.
Since Isabella died, every time Ethan visited her grave, he found himself apologizing. He never treasured her when she was alive. He always sided with Natalie, ignoring Isabella’s feelings. She’d loved him so much… and he broke her, bit by bit, until she asked for a divorce.
And even then, he listened to Natalie. He refused to give Isabella a cent. She left with nothing but her pride. Natalie had convinced him that Isabella would regret it, that she’d come crawling back.

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...
