"But her starting point was exactly what Ethan gave her. You know better than anyone how intoxicating it is to drain his wealth. You leached off him for years."
Natalie fell silent.
It was intoxicating.
In the past, both she and Jordan had made fortunes riding Ethan's coattails.
Because of their ties to Ethan, the Lane Group had closed countless deals out of thin air.
She dreamed of going back to the way things were. If Isabella hadn't wedged herself between the three of them, they would still be living in that golden era.
It was all Isabella's fault!
Isabella used to be practically invisible in the Lane household, keeping her head down. But the second she hooked Ethan, she was thrust into the spotlight as Mrs. Adams, living a glamorous, vibrant life.
Just a year ago, Isabella was slaving away at some tiny startup for a couple of thousand dollars a month. Now, she was a multimillionaire. How much of that did she actually earn on her own?
It was all handed to her by Ethan.
Ethan was a man who valued deep connections. If she could just pull his heart back to her, he would be as generous as ever. She could slowly siphon his fortune into her own accounts.
"Don't put your hopes on your husband. You know he's a cheat. Once a man steps out on you, do you really think he'll ever treat you the same? The trust is broken. The damage is done."
"And cheating is an addiction. Once is a mistake, twice is a pattern. It's almost impossible to stop."
"So, Jordan is useless to you."
"He's tainted, and you've got your own baggage. You'll only end up despising each other."

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...
