"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

　　Seeing Ellie with Ryan struck a nerve in me, she looked so gorgeous and I couldn't deny she might be the prettiest girl in the room.


　　I have always known Ellie to be someone who is passionate about her work but what I find so confusing is why she would agree to be the lawyer representing Ryan's company.


　　"Was it out of spite for me?" I asked myself several times but I couldn't get myself to figure that out because Ellie could be a lot of things but she is not one to get her revenge this way.


　　Ellie noticed that my gaze was fixated on her, she took a sip from her glass of champagne while trying to avoid making eye contact with me.


　　She moved a little bit closer to Ryan who was having a conversation with some friends and I could tell she was feeling uneasy from a distance.


　　Just when I was waiting for the perfect opportunity to pull her in for a chat, Ryan's presence was required somewhere and he left her all to herself and that was perfect timing for me.
