"Don't ask about him, Jordan. Knowing too much won't do you any good."
Natalie turned her face toward the window. "The baby is gone. Deborah and Mandy can scream their innocence until they're blue in the face, but they'll never wash the blood off their hands. My miscarriage is officially their fault."
"It doesn't matter who threw the first punch. I lost a child, and they have to take the blame. My family won't let this slide."
"When your dad comes to negotiate with my parents, I'm going to demand compensation. We want equity in The Lane Group transferred to you, and we want him to surrender executive control. He's old enough to step back into an advisory role and start planning his retirement."
Natalie knew exactly what Jordan craved: total control of The Lane Group. And she wanted that empire for him just as fiercely. Long before she had uncovered Jackson's infidelity, they had always viewed the Lane fortune as their absolute birthright.
The sudden arrival of Deborah and Kevin felt like a dagger to the throat. Watching the wealth they considered theirs get sliced up made Natalie frantic and Jordan seethe with rage.
She had committed a monumental sin. If she wanted Jordan to forgive her—if she wanted them to go back to how they used to be—she had to prove her worth. She had to show him that she, backed by the Gates family, was his ultimate weapon.
She could win this war for him.
Jordan enveloped her hand in his, his expression steeped in empathy. "You've been through so much, Nat."
She had taken a beating and lost a pregnancy, her body ravaged once again. Jordan genuinely ached for her. His infidelity didn't erase his lingering affection.
And truthfully, her unfaithfulness hadn't been a deliberate betrayal; she had been drugged and trapped. His affairs, however, were entirely his own choice. In the end, he was the one who owed her.
"We're married. We're a team. We rise and fall together. I will always stand by you."

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
I will be devastated if Isabella and Ethan will get back together. Please, writer, Isabella deserves Harold....
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...
