After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1079

"Isn't it exhausting wearing that mask every single day?"

Natalie jerked her chin up, but Isabella's free hand immediately clamped down on the back of her head, forcefully shoving her face downward.

Isabella tightened her iron grip on Natalie's wrist. Realizing she couldn't break free, Natalie finally stopped thrashing her other hand, terrified that Isabella would actually rip her hair out.

"You set me up, Isabella! I'm going to ruin you!" Natalie shrieked, her voice thick with venom.

Isabella's expression remained dangerously cold. "I set you up? Natalie, look in a mirror. Who set who up? Or is this just the bitter taste of your own actions?"

"Did Jordan finally dump you?"

"Ethan doesn't want you anymore, and now Jordan is cutting you loose too. You've lost the two men who grew up worshipping the ground you walked on. You've turned your entire life into a pathetic joke. You were dealt a perfect hand, and you trashed it."

"Do you want to know why you lost? You lost because you're greedy, dramatic, and unbelievably selfish. You're so petty you actually convinced yourself the entire universe revolves around you. Well, guess what? Neither of them is revolving around you anymore."

"You spent your whole life trying to crush me, doing everything you could to make sure I suffered. But here's the tragedy for you: I'm doing amazing. I'm doing better than you ever will. So go ahead and lose your mind with jealousy. The crazier you get, the more I enjoy it."

Natalie choked out a breath. "...Let me go, Isabella! If you have any guts, get out of the car and fight me!"

Isabella mockingly patted Natalie's cheek. "Fight you? Without your two guard dogs protecting you, you'd lose to absolutely anyone."

There was no way in hell she was going to physically brawl with Natalie. The woman was pregnant. If they got into a scuffle and Natalie lost the baby, Isabella knew she would be framed for it.

"If I were you, I'd be running to find Jordan right now. Beg him, apologize, do whatever it takes to salvage things. You two have known each other for decades; there has to be some tiny shred of affection left."

"You know, he actually called me the other day. He asked if there was any sisterly bond left between us."

"He told me he used to genuinely care about me when I was little. But you couldn't handle that. You constantly poisoned his mind, trashing my mother and me, convincing him I was going to steal your father's attention. You really have been a monster since the day you were born, Natalie."
