Ditching the girl was the smartest move. If they had tried to drag Barbara along as a human shield, they would have inevitably been gunned down or captured, and York would have been dragged down with them.
Cutting her loose and running was their only chance at survival.
Barbara had no idea what her captors looked like, and given the sheer panic of the abduction, her friend wouldn't have been able to provide a reliable description either. Besides, the men had been wearing masks.
The moment York hung up, he quickly texted Natalie, feeding her the coordinates and ordering her to pick them up.
Natalie was a Cabinda native and knew the sprawling roads better than anyone. She was the perfect getaway driver.
It was also a brilliant trap to pull her down with him.
If the mercenaries were caught, Natalie would go down as their accomplice.
Between aiding fugitives and her recent stunt hiring thugs to terrorize the George family, she was building a massive criminal record.
Once the police inevitably traced the hit on the George family back to her, she would be facing the exact same fate as her past life: the death penalty.
York had sworn that Ethan, Natalie, and Isabella would all pay.
Oh, and Jordan.
Jordan was a piece of trash too.
But York wasn't in a rush to deal with him just yet. Once he destroyed Ethan and the women, crushing Jordan would be effortless.
Completely oblivious to the snare she was walking into, Natalie followed the GPS coordinates.
She arrived at a desolate stretch of highway in the Eastside Suburbs. The area was eerily quiet, and despite being a paved road, it was completely devoid of traffic.

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...
