From rags to riches, or something of that sort.
Courtney's life takes a dramatic turn for the better when she gets tangled up in the Martinez lives. But when she falls in love with Eric, his jealous ex and overbearing mother threaten to ruin any...
"Well, New York City and beyond, it's the day we all have been waiting for." The female reporter said
"You got that right, Grace. It's MFE's 10th fashion show and anniversary today, and I can tell you for a fact that if you're not here, you're missing something huge. This is going to be the biggest event of the year"

Eric's POV•
Do I want to be here? No, no I do not, but I don't have a choice.
I was seated in my car, staring at my phone while Jane kept pressuring me for us to go in.
I don't even understand why my mum suddenly asked us to come for dinner but I was really not in the mood. I finally put down my phone and go in with her.
"Eric, My love" my mum walks towards me with open arms
I force a smile "hi, Mum" I give her a hug, not wasting anytime pulling back though.
"Jane, darling" they hug each other
"It's so good to see you, Mrs Martinez"
They pull away "so good to have you over, darling. Come, let's go to the living room"
We follow behind her to the living room and I immediately come to a stop when my eyes lock with Theresa's
You cannot be serious
"Eric" she calls my name softly, standing up and slowly making her way towards me.
"Mum, why do you keep doing things like this?"
"Doing what, honey? She just got back from a long trip, was it bad inviting her over?"
"Was it bad?" Is she being serious? "Can you not feel the atmosphere changing? Why ask me to bring Jane if you knew Theresa would be here?"
Was she trying to gather all the women ever involved in my life together? If so, the only two women I would love to have aren't even here.
"Eric, relax. I won't cause a scene" she was a few feet away from me, speaking to me with a kind of calm and childlike tone
"Sure you won't"
When has she never caused a scene?
She goes back to sit down "let's what TV" she smiles
Why was she acting so weird? She wasn't acting like her usual self.
Jane locks her arm around mine, staring straight at Theresa. Theresa looks at our locked arms and stares back at Jane.
If this isn't madness, then I don't know what it.
I unlock our arms and take a seat on the one person seater to avoid sitting beside either of them.
I'm in no mood for drama.

Courtney's POV•
"Can you be calm!?" Sophy yells at me over the phone
"Well it's easy for you to say, you're not the one climbing that massive stage"
I was having a mini heart attack. My make up artist was working on my makeup and that hairstylist came through for me just like she said she would.
