"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 I met with Ryan and Luke, I headed back to the office. On my way back, I could not stop thinking about how impressed I was with my first meeting with Ryan.


　　For the first time, I felt like someone saw me for who I was. That alone was an energy boost after everything I had been through for the past few weeks.


　　With excitement written all over my face, I could not help but smile anytime I thought about how confident Ryan was about me, how much trust he had in my professional abilities, and how he didn't allow my past relationship to obstruct our workspace.


　　"How can someone be this understanding? He is such a gentleman," I thought to myself sheepishly.


　　I could not wait to get back to the office and tell Aria everything. I have butterflies dancing in my tummy and there is no one I would rather share it with than Aria.
