"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

　　Back at the office, everything was going well. My operations were going smoothly and all I could do was nothing but be bored.


　　I wonder if Ellie is still on the case and how far she has gone. I took out my phone to call her but then I felt it would be better to just go there instead.


　　I took out my keys and headed out, on my way I was met by my secretary.


　　"Sir you haven't confirmed if you would be going to the gala, and also who would be your plus one. It's two days from now and they would appreciate it if you replied to them," she nagged.


　　"Yes, yes I know don't worry I will reply to them," I replied and we both proceeded to what we were doing.


　　I went down the elevator and headed to my car. I hopped in and drove off. Since I was going to meet Ellie why not just get some takeout on the way?
