After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 1016

Natalie got taken away by the police.

Before they led her out, she turned to Jordan. Her voice was shaky when she asked, “Why did you betray me, Jordan?”

Jordan met her eyes. “Natalie, I was scared. I didn’t want to go down with you. Sooner or later, Ethan and the police were going to find out what you did. If I stayed quiet, I’d be covering for you. Then I’d be guilty too.”

“We can’t both lose everything. You did what you did, so you have to face the consequences.”

He paused, then softened a bit. “I’ll get you the best lawyer, I promise.”

Natalie let out a laugh, but tears shone in her eyes.

The best lawyer? She knew what she’d done. No lawyer could magic her way out of this. Was it even possible to get her off the hook now?

She glanced over at Ethan. He was watching her, his face tight with disappointment, maybe even heartbreak. She could see it in his eyes. She had let him down. He probably regretted ever loving her in the first place.

Natalie had her own regrets, too.

The guilt over Isabella hit almost instantly. But once she’d started, she couldn’t stop. She’d gotten rid of the kidnappers too, telling herself that only the dead kept secrets. That was the only way to keep herself safe.
