"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

　　The trial should be ongoing by now, if not even concluded; I couldn't sum up the courage to go there because I wasn't sure of what was going to happen.


　　I know both parties involved in this very well and neither one of them would be ready to back down. Ellie is smart, really smart, so for her to change her mind, it's going to take some extraordinary effort to do so.


　　Especially considering that she hates me now, so using me as bait wouldn't provide much yield, but regardless I had to let my dad have full control over this.


　　My assistant, however, is competent enough to go there and represent me; in any case, I'll be expecting his call right about now.


　　As for now, I'm just going to chill on my couch and watch a show or something, anything that'll take my mind off the case.


　　I found a documentary to watch but it didn't last long as a call from my assistant came in.


　　"Hello, deputy," I said as soon I picked up.
