Luna Scribe

"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

　　While talking with some of my colleagues at the gala, I couldn't help but still keep an eye on and look out for Ellie.


　　I looked to the side of the hall where I had left her and to my surprise I saw her standing with a man and a lady whose faces I could barely see.


　　"That face looks familiar," I thought to myself trying to identify who the person was. After a few minutes of trying to identify who he was, it finally struck me and immediately I knew that it wasn't a good situation for Ellie to be in.


　　At first, I tried to be calm since I hadn't noticed anything strange that could pose a threat to Ellie. She is my partner and also my guest and as such my responsibility.


　　I wouldn't have anyone harass or hurt her, not on my watch. At intervals, I looked towards Ellie's direction to check if she was alright.
