"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

　　Seeing James here only meant trouble and that is what I'm going to avoid by all means. I took my gaze away and departed from the area.


　　"We need to find a way to leave," I told Ryan.


　　"Leave? But the event hasn't finished yet," Ryan complained.


　　"I know but James is here," I revealed.


　　"Yes, I know and so what if he is here?" he asked.


　　"You speak as if you don't know this guy,"


　　"I do, but I don't think he'll be stupid enough to try anything here,"


　　A waiter passed by with champagne I took it and had a sip.


　　"You don't know this guy the way I do."


　　"He is stupid enough to do anything, you didn't look into his eyes they were radiating hate and anxiety." The way I spoke, it was evident that I was afraid.


　　I know I am supposed to be strong but now wasn't the time to test that theory. The way he looked it just reeked of jealousy.
