"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

　　Seeing as she just got in I decided to follow her just to make sure she was okay.


　　I know I distanced myself from her and the case as a whole. But she must have had a good reason for coming here.


　　And at least if she is still avoiding me, I should know why.


　　I went over to the elevator and got in as soon as it came to my floor.


　　She wasn't in it anymore, so I am sure she had to go down.


　　I pressed the button on the ground floor and waited for it to get there.


　　On reaching there, I didn't see Ellie, around the corridor, so I decided to step out and look for her.


　　I went a few steps away and looked towards the exit but her silhouette wasn't in sight.


　　"Where could she have gone?" I asked myself.


　　I wasn't keen on beating a retreat so I went towards the exit to see if she was anywhere nearby.


　　I scanned the perimeter, but she was still nowhere to be found.
