“I’m heading back now to pack my things and move into the Lane house. I’ll be helping Deborah take care of everything. She said you’re still technically the head of the household, so I should let you know. It’s out of respect.”
With that, Mandy strutted off, looking all pleased with herself.
Natalie’s grip on her purse tightened until her knuckles turned white. She was so angry, she almost wanted to run after Mandy and tear her apart right then and there.
She cursed Mandy a thousand times in her mind before finally managing to collect herself and head upstairs.
At the front desk, the two receptionists who had witnessed everything stood in awkward silence. Once Natalie was out of sight, they exchanged a quick look, both understanding exactly what was going on.
Jordan was really something. Everyone at the company knew he and Malvina had a thing going on, though no one dared mention it around Natalie. They all worried Jordan would come after them if he found out, and honestly, who wanted to get involved in the boss’s love life? They were just employees. As long as they got their paychecks, it was best to mind their own business.
Recently, Mandy had been showing up at the office a lot, too. With Deborah’s approval, no one had the guts to stop her. It was obvious to everyone that Malvina hadn’t been in a good mood these past few days.
And now, with Natalie—the real wife—back in the picture, everyone was dying to see what Malvina would do next. She had already been competing with Deborah for Jordan’s attention. What now?
When Natalie stepped out of the elevator, she didn’t see Jordan’s secretary anywhere. Her face immediately darkened, and she could already guess what Malvina was up to.
She didn’t say anything. She just walked straight to Jordan’s office and tried the door, wanting to slip in quietly, but it wouldn’t budge. It was locked.
Natalie felt a surge of pure rage.

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...
