Courtney sat in her room getting ready to go to her husband's office. She straightened her hair just like he liked it. She got up and went to her closet and looked through her closet.

Hmmm, I need a splash of music.

"Hey, Alexa play from my playlist?" She called out.

"Playing your playlist." Alexas robotic voice called out.

Soon the room filled with the song freak by Doja cat.

She smiled contentedly and began looking through her closet.

After looking she found black leggings with a tight black shirt. She smiled heading to her closet and getting gold jewelry before heading over to get her golden timberland ankle boots.

She put on her clear lipgloss and mascara. She grabbed her iPhone 11 Pro along with her purse and car keys before walking downstairs.

"Hanna!" Courtney yelled through the big house.

A young woman came out of some room in the house with a broom with a spray bottle on her pants loop.

Hanna was the housemaid that helped keep the house in order. She was young and she needed a good-paying job to get her through college and help her pay her bills. She got paid 75 an hour.

"I'm leaving to see Abraham. I'm not expecting company so don't let anyone in. I should be back before 3." Courtney said.

"Okay." Hanna nodded before going back to work.

One Courtney liked about Hanna is her style and her fashion sense. She sometimes had Hanna help her pick some of her clothes.

Courtney left the house locking the door behind her and getting into her car and started driving.

Courtney nodded at the Nicki Minaj song playing on her stereo before turning at the light. When Courtney finally arrived at the CEO law firm place Courtney parked and got out and headed inside.

She got in the elevator fortunately she was by herself. She patiently waited for the elevator to get to its floor and headed towards her husband's office.

"Um, miss. Michealson!" his secretary called out.

Courtney turned around "I'm just going to Abrahams's office to see him." She smiled.

"Oh, but he said he was taking you to a hotel. He had me book it earlier. He left 45 minutes ago. " she said.

Courtney knew that was odd and had bad thoughts come to her head but pushed it away.

"Oh okay, what hotel?" She asked.

"Let's see... the Ramada Plaza on 25th street." The secretary replied.

"Okay thank you," Courtney said before heading out back to her car. The secretary looked at her pitifully before getting back to work.

Courtney sat in her car and grabbed her phone and called her husband.

"Hello?" He answered after a few rings.

"Hey um I'm just bored and just wanted to talk," Courtney said.

"Well I can't really talk right now I'm kind of busy at the moment." He said distractedly.

"With what?"

"Just work the office is really killing me right now," he said.

"Really well if you want I can come there and visit." She said.

"No no it's fine I just really need to focus right now." He said

"Hmm okay and don't forget to get home on time for the dinner for our new neighbor." She said.

"Okay well, I have to go later."

"Later," She said before hanging up.

Courtney threw her phone in the seat in anger and punched the steering wheel.

When she calmed herself down she dug in her purse and got gum out and put it in her mouth. Once she did that she started the car.

She drove to the Ramada within 10 minutes and got out of the car and went up to the front desk.

"Hi um, my husband and I booked a room here and I left my key in the room. I forgot the number of the room number," she said sweetly.

The worker nodded "name of reservation?"

"Michealson " she replied.

The worker typed the name. Went behind the desk and pulled a card out before giving it to her.

"Your in room 529 on the 6th floor." The worker said.

"Thank you." She said before heading to the elevator.

She felt a million of thoughts swarm through his mind but she hoped that for his asked her thoughts wasn't true.

When the elevator opened she went straight to room 529. She took a deep breath and walked in quietly. She didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

But then she heard giggling and a guy laughing.

Soon after that, she heard kissing noises.

She followed the sound till she peered through the door to see clothing on the floor and a woman making out with her husband. She had dark creamy skin with long black hair. And she was completely naked. Apparently, it seemed like Abraham was getting dress but wanted another round.

Courtney felt betrayal and anger boil through her veins.

She thought about what she wanted to do but decided to leave. She wasn't going to be one of those girls who attacked the girl and she didn't know. But god she was so angry.

She went back to the door and dropped the card on the floor. After she silently left the room and left the hotel.

———————————————————————

Courtney sat in her car in the middle of an empty lot she found and started crying.

What the hell does that bitch have that I don't?

After a while of crying, Courtney made herself calm down. She looked in the rearview mirror and saw her eyes were puffy.

She sighed and drove back home.

———————————————————————

Once again Courtney sat in her room thinking about her life's decisions.

A straight-A student and valedictorian and went to Harvard. Got lots of degrees some early cause she had extra college credits.

When she graduated she met a guy named Abraham at their work firm. She played hard to get but eventually went on dates till they started dating after 2 years he proposed. She said yes extremely happy she didn't exactly get the wedding of her dreams but it was still nice.

But eventually, he talked her into being a home wife. Looking back Courtney realized how manipulative he could be. If her younger self would've seen the trophy wife Courtney now she would've had a heart attack.

She honestly didn't know why he cheated. He always was happy he got sex regularly at home and even though they have their fights here and there they always made up.

Courtney scoffed. He never loved her. He put her under a love spell.

4 years of her life wasted.

"Miss.Michealson?" Hanna asked behind the door.

Courtney quickly wiped her eyes "come in."

Hanna walked in with a bottle of water and small eye gel masks for her eyes and other things.

"I was wondering if I can leave early," Hanna asked.

"Why?"

"Well, I have to study." She said adjusting her purse on her shoulder.

"Please don't lie I already have my husband doing it I don't need you doing it for no reason," Courtney said rubbing her temples.

Hanna walked over to Courtney and gave her water and gave her ibuprofen and then gave her eye masks. "It's to reduce the puffy eyes. And I put them in the freezer." Hanna said.

"I don't know what happened to your husband but I'm sorry," Hanna said.

Courtney just nodded "um yeah you can go have fun and be back when you can tomorrow." Courtney said.

Hanna nodded before heading towards the door. But she turned around "and I just wanted to see my boyfriend Caleb. His mom came into town and I just wanted to support him." She said before leaving.

Courtney chuckled at that. Hopefully, her relationship lasts cause men ducking suck.

———————————————————————

Courtney's husband would be home from work soon so she got in the shower to avoid him she didn't really want to talk to him.

When she got out practically 2 hours later she got dressed and put a robe on. Her hair was frizzy from the steam.

She went out and saw her husband much to her dismay.

"Hi, baby!" He exclaimed trying to kiss her lips but Courtney quickly turned her head and he missed.

"I don't want to talk to you." She said before going to the guest room.

"What's wrong are you PMSing?" He asked confused.

Courtney just ignored him.

He was going to reply when his phone started ringing. He picked it up.

"Hey... yes! Well, be already at 7. Okay, see then."He said.

"Get ready we have dinner with the new neighbors. I'm going to tell the chefs. " He said before leaving.

Courtney waited till he left before going into the room. She decided on dressing amazing to show her neighbor how amazing she is.

She picked out a red dress that was a cocktail dress with gold lines on the hip going up to her right side to her lower waist. It also was a strapless dress that had holed lines on the top of her dress.

Courtney looked at her hair trying to decide what she should do with it. She ended up carefully spiral curling her hair and putting on red eyeshadow with a sparkly gold around the corner of her eye. Along with red lipstick.

She then put her dress on and her pumps Along with matching jewelry.

Courtney looked at herself in the mirror and smirked oh she looked so hot.

The sound of the doorbell ringing filled the house.

Courtney started heading downstairs and saw nobody opened the door. Courtney walked to the door and opened it. She saw a man with small specs of green streaks in his hair with amazing teal eyes with a few piercings. But he still looked good and professional thanks to the piercings. And there was a teenage boy next to him. He also had black hair and the same teal eyes. Courtney briefly wondered if that was his brother or son.

"Hi I'm Courtney it's a pleasure to see both of you and you both are?" She said reaching out to shake their hands.

The green hair guy took her hand and smirked: " I'm Sam sweetheart and this is my brother Liam."

"Like I said my name is Courtney. Not sweetheart," she said to Sam before turning to Liam.

"And it's nice to meet you, Liam." She said warmly.

Liam nodded "it's nice to see a girl who isn't so wowed by him." He said smiling.

Sam just rolled his eyes.

"Oh I apologize for my tardiness I'm Abraham and you probably already met but this is my wife Courtney," Abraham said walking up to them 3.

Courtney rolled her eyes which didn't go unnoticed by Liam.

"No problem. So what's for dinner." Liam said. Abraham was slightly taken aback by Liam's bluntness. "Hungry huh? Well come right this way" he said gesturing them to follow them.

Courtney followed as well thinking about her new neighbors.

When they all got to the table Abraham pulled out a chair for Courtney to sit in but Courtney kept walking and pulled her own chair out.

Abraham just sat in the chair along with Sam and Liam. The chef came with their food. Courtney looked around at her table arrangements and saw Abraham was next to her unfortunately and Sam was across from him and Liam was across from Abraham.

Sam caught Courtney's eyes and winked at her. That took Courtney off guard and she looked disgusted but still rolled her eyes.

Abraham however didn't see that he was busy talking to the chef. " I hope you guys liked grilled salmon!" He said while the chefs came with grilled salmon, creamy lemon pasta, and green beans.

"So what's your profession...?" Abraham said trailing off waiting for him to say his name.

"Sam. And I am an engineer." sam said.

"Interesting."

"I'm also a real estate agent..." Courtney zoned out thinking about what she should do when the dinner was over. Maybe she could go to Bridgette's. They could invite Heather as all talk. Who knows but she does know that she needed to do something about it.

Courtney was interrupted out of her thoughts when Abraham put his hand on her mid-thigh. Courtney quickly got annoyed and reached under the table and grabbed his hand and pushed it off her thigh aggressively. Abraham gave her a questioning glance before continuing the conversation.

When the dinner ended and the guest went home Courtney quickly packed her bags.

Soon Abraham came into the room. " where are you going?" he asked.

"Out." She simply said before taking her 2 suitcases down the stairs.

"Courtney, what's your problem you've had this attitude all day?" He asked following her.

"Leave me the fuck alone." She said before opening the door and leaving the front door to put her bags in the passenger seat.

"Courtney your making a scene let's go inside and ta-"

"I don't want to talk to you." Practically yelling before getting in the car and started the car.

She started her car and pulled out her driveway to Bridgette's penthouse apartment.
