"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

　　Saddened by what I just saw, my heart shattered into a million pieces.


　　This is what I was afraid of, this is what made me hesitant about letting him in. I thought he was different.


　　Tears rolled down my cheeks forcing me to wipe them away. I stood there for some seconds which felt like an eternity. I didn't believe what I saw.


　　I turned away and headed straight to the elevator.


　　I just pressed any button on there as all I wanted was to leave his side.


　　I suddenly find myself in a flashback of what had brewed between us.


　　All the kindness and the meals he brought. All the praises and all the good memories we had.


　　The door opened and without looking I went out of the elevator. The floor looked unfamiliar as I went deeper.


　　It took me a few minutes to realize I had pressed the wrong button so I headed back to the elevator.


　　I got back and waited for the elevator to arrive before getting in.
