The caller let out a cold laugh. “You don’t need to know who I am. I’m coming for your life. Haha.” Then the line went dead.
Isabella’s hands shook as she stared at her phone.
Her life? Someone actually wanted her dead?
Was this Dave’s doing? Or maybe someone above him? Or was there someone else pulling the strings behind the scenes?
She quickly snapped a screenshot of the number and sent it to Harold, asking if he could find out who it belonged to. After that, she tried calling back, but the phone was already off.
Laura noticed right away. “What happened? Who called you? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
Isabella set down her phone, her voice barely above a whisper. “That was a threat. Whoever it was said they’re coming for my life.”
Laura’s face went pale. “Was it one of Dave’s people?”
“I don’t know. I sent the number to Harold so he can check. It might be Dave, or maybe someone hired a hitman. I really have no idea.”
Dying so mysteriously in her past life, only to find herself tangled in the same kind of mess in this one…it felt like a curse she couldn’t shake.
“Should we call the police?” Laura asked. “Did you record the call?”
“I didn’t. Who would expect something like that? Besides, even if I reported it, what good would it do? Whoever made that call probably took precautions. I bet that number’s already been deactivated.”
“Ethan arranged for eight bodyguards to protect me. I’ll talk to him tomorrow. I want them reporting to me directly, and I’ll cover their salaries.”
Ethan knew how to fight, and he was good at it. That night they’d faced Dave’s men together, she saw what he was capable of. His security team was solid. Any other bodyguards she might hire wouldn’t be as reliable.
Laura nodded. “That sounds smart. Talk to him, and let him know you’ll pay. And you should be extra careful. Don’t go home alone at night. They probably wouldn’t try anything during the day, but if they’re going to act, it’ll be late, when you’re by yourself.”
Isabella took a slow breath. “You’re right. From now on, I’ll be home before nine.”
“I’ll tell Jesse too,” Laura said. “Maybe he can help figure out who’s behind this and why they want you gone.”

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...
