"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

　　Since Ellie had insisted she would meet with my dad alone, I had no choice but to wait anxiously for my father's arrival.


　　I didn't know what plans my father had, but knowing Ellie, she wasn't an easy nut to Crack.


　　After a while of waiting earnestly, my father returned from his meeting with Ellie.


　　"Welcome, Dad; how did it go?" I asked eagerly. I could no longer wait to hear in detail all that he discussed with Ellie.


　　"Pretty Good, not as bad as I thought," he said, taking a seat on one of the couches.


　　"What did you discuss with her?" I asked curiously, waiting for him to fill me in on all of their discussions.


　　"Nothing out of the ordinary, I simply just made a deal with her, and I am sure she wouldn't turn down my offer," my dad responded confidently.


　　"And what is that supposed to mean, Dad? Can you just talk to me? I am dying to know what is going on," I said.
