Natalie jumped in, her voice shaking. “Jennifer, it’s not true. I swear, I’d never do something like that. Don’t listen to Isabella. She’s just jealous. She hates me, always has, because Ethan’s always loved me. He only married her because of me. That’s why she’s so bitter, always trying to bring me down, any way she can.”
Isabella watched Natalie quietly, waiting for her to finish. Then she spoke up, her tone calm but sharp. “Ethan told me everything on our wedding night. When I found out he was just using me, that I was nothing but a pawn, you have no idea how much I hated both of you. But I moved on. Ethan doesn’t love me, so why should I waste any more time loving him? I let go long ago. We’re divorcing now, the papers are almost done.”
“After this, whoever Ethan loves is none of my business anymore.”
“But no matter how angry I was, I never wanted to hurt anyone. Just because your heart is twisted, Natalie, doesn’t mean everyone else is as cruel as you are.”
“You know exactly whether you sent Sophia to my shop to stir up trouble. You can fool other people, but you can’t fool yourself. The evidence is real. Not a single piece is fake.”
“Oh, and I’ve already handed everything over to the police. Jennifer, what you’re looking at now is just a copy.”
“I trust the law to get to the bottom of this. They’ll see the truth. No one’s going to accuse you without reason.”
Isabella continued, “I’m pretty sure the police will be here soon to take you and Sophia to the station for questioning. You wanted Sophia to call the reporters? Well, I did too. Let’s see how you like it when they’re here snapping photos as you get taken away.”
“You love the spotlight, right? You’ll get plenty today.”
Isabella’s words hit hard. Both Jennifer and Natalie went pale.
“You pretend to be sweet and graceful, but underneath, you’re vicious. You ruined my life. You ruined my mother’s life. You’re the cruel one here, not me.”
Isabella was thinking about her past, about everything Natalie had done before.
“You only ever relied on Ethan’s love. You married Jordan, but you still kept Ethan hanging on. Every time he tried to move on, you’d show up and act like you cared, never thinking about Jordan’s feelings.”
“You kept giving Ethan hope, making him believe he had a chance, because you couldn’t let go of his attention or the benefits he brought you.”

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...
