After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 489

A police officer led the secretary to identify the body. The medical examiner was already there, waiting. As the secretary moved closer, the examiner gently pulled back the white sheet. The secretary saw the woman’s face. Both cheeks were slashed, blood dried around her mouth and nose.

It was obvious she had suffered a lot before she died. The whole thing was brutal. Her eyes were still open, staring, like she couldn’t believe what had happened.

Even with her face so badly cut up, the secretary knew her right away. It was Isabella.

His face went pale. He staggered back, fumbled for his phone, and dialed Ethan.

When Ethan picked up, the secretary’s voice shook. “Mr. Adams, it’s your ex-wife. Isabella. The victim is her. She… she died terribly.”

The medical examiner spoke up, loud enough for Ethan to hear through the phone. “She was violated by several people before she died. Her body is covered in injuries.”

The secretary looked even sicker. Ethan was silent. He couldn’t get a word out.

Isabella was dead. The news hit him so hard his mind went blank. His hand shook and the phone slipped, clattering to the floor.

After a moment, he snapped out of it, bent down, and grabbed the phone. Seeing the call was still going, he said, “I’m coming right now.”

He hung up and bolted from his office, racing for the elevator. Inside, he called his driver and told him to bring the car around to the front. He needed to leave as soon as he hit the ground floor.

Two minutes later, Ethan was in the car, and they sped away from the Adams Group building.

Jeremy had just come back and saw Ethan rushing out. He called after him a few times, but Ethan didn’t hear anything. His mind was stuck on one thing.

The victim was Isabella.

How could Isabella be dead?

They had just gotten divorced. Now she was gone.
