"I am sorry to disappoint you, Mrs. Wilson," I said, " James will be asking me to marry him soon and I plan on saying yes to his proposal and neither you nor anyone else can sabotage our happiness,"
"You must think you have a chance at happiness with my son," Mrs. Wilson sneered, "If you came here to see James, then where is he?"
My heartbeat increased as I stood there utterly confused while trying to grasp, "He wasn't aware I would be here, I came here to pay him a surprise visit so it's understandable if he is not here," I replied quickly.
"How stupid of you to think in that shallow way of yours Ellie, my son will never take you as a wife and that is why I believe he is out to pursue someone worth his time," Mrs. Wilson replied in a quick sharp tone.
"What do you mean by that Mrs. Wilson, what is going on, and where is James?" I asked angrily.
"I'm sorry, Ellie," she uttered in a voice filled with no remorse. "But James is getting engaged... to someone else."

***

Ellie's dream wedding crumbles when she learns from James's mother that he's engaged- to another woman. 

Heartbroken but determined, Ellie throws herself into her law career, vowing to rebuild her life. With her best friend's support, Ellie takes on a career-defining case: a lawsuit against her ex's company.
Can Ellie outwit her ex's family in court while healing her own wounds? And is there a chance for love to find her again in the midst of it all?

Falling for Her Ex's Enemy

　　After Ellie's display, I stormed out of the place. Frustrated at her, I got into my car and drove off.


　　Although I had a meeting at the restaurant, I had to bail and reschedule it. I wasn't in the right head space and I don't want to fuck this gig up.


　　I drove out of the place and headed for a nearby bar. Heading there was a great idea plus I don't think driving in this state is any good.


　　I arrived there shortly after and ordered a round. I drank a bit and it seemed to be working as I started feeling relieved.


　　The alcohol effect kicked in and as much as I wanted to leave I was skeptical as I knew cops flooded the streets.


　　So I proceeded to the VIP area so I could have some privacy and wait for the drowsiness.


　　A few minutes later I was feeling the effect wear off so I knew it was time.


　　I proceeded to go out and drove to work.


　　But I forgot I just ditched a meeting.
