"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."

Falling for Her Ex's Enemy

　　After the Gala, Evelyn and I headed over to the hotel parking lot and all that consumed me was resentment towards Ellie and Ryan.


　　I felt a wave of different emotions and none hurt like being unable to rise from one's helplessness.


　　Evelyn has remained mute and hasn't said a word to me since we left the gala. One could tell she was pissed and had no excuses for how everything played out earlier.


　　"Are you going to keep mute and act like you didn't just give me the embarrassment of my life back there?" Evelyn said as she turned back and I put my steps to a pause.


　　"Fucking hell James, what were you thinking, I am so furious right now that I don't even want to look at you."


　　"I mean how could you do this to me, James, what was all that for? I thought you had moved on from her before agreeing to get married to me but I guess I was wrong," Evelyn cried out.
