How did it end up like this?
Who could possibly have done this to Isabella?
If Isabella hadn’t died, Cynthia would still be here too.
Their divorce had set everything in motion. He and Isabella split up, and then someone killed her. Cynthia followed soon after. Two lives, just… gone.
If he’d known divorce would end up costing Isabella her life, he never would’ve gone through with it. Even if they argued every day, even if she had totally given up on him, he still shouldn’t have let her go.
As long as they were married, she would have kept the Adams name. The people who wanted to hurt her never would’ve dared, not with the Adams family’s influence.
“Ethan. Ethan.”
Jordan, Natalie, and Jackson burst into the hallway. Jackson’s face was like paper as he hurried over. “Ethan, how’s your mom?” His voice was tight, worried.
Ethan lifted his eyes to Jackson’s. Jackson saw the redness, the tears hanging on his lashes, and his heart dropped. He felt weak, stumbling a little. Jordan caught his dad right away, easing him into a seat.
“Dad,” Jordan said quietly, “Mom didn’t make it. The doctors did everything they could, but her injuries were too much. She couldn’t be saved.”
Ethan’s voice shook. “They moved her… her body to the morgue. They’re waiting for us to decide what happens next.”
Jackson finally broke down. Tears ran unchecked down his cheeks as he started talking to Cynthia, like she might still hear him. “Cynthia, how could you leave like this? Isabella suffered so much, but you, you should’ve stayed strong. We still had a life together. How could you bring yourself to just… go?”
After Isabella died, Jackson remembered warning everyone to keep it from Cynthia. He just knew she wouldn’t survive losing her only daughter. He’d begged them all to keep it a secret, hoping the news would never reach her.
But his fears had come true.
Natalie had wanted to prepare some offerings for Isabella and was secretly making arrangements. Cynthia noticed and asked questions, and Natalie just couldn’t keep it hidden anymore. As soon as she told Cynthia the truth, tragedy struck all over again.

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...
