Invisible to My First Love (Harper and Maddox) novel Chapter 46

Maddox 

I stood in my home office, the floor–to–ceiling windows giving me the beautiful view of the city beneath me. While the night lights and stars in the sky were quite the sight to look at, they didn’t hold my attention the way they usually did and it was because of Harper. 

Friday was just a few days away but it felt like months. That was how much she made me want her. 

She shouldn’t have been in those jeans in the late–night video chats. They’d gotten in the of everything she could’ve shown me. 

way 

I was glad she was coming but my patience was already running thin. After the previous night, I needed her under me, surrendering to my control. 

I turned away from the window and reached for my glass of water. I needed to focus. My father was on his way and I didn’t want to keep thinking about Friday while he was present. 

It was going to be his first time visiting me in my new home and while he made it sound like a casual visit, that was so unlike him. I was certain he wanted to talk to me about something important. Could it have been what we had discussed the day we played golf? 

At the sound of an engine pulling up into my front yard, I took the elevator to get to the ground floor faster, even clearing my throat like I was about to make a speech in a boardroom. He still made me want to act like that. 

The doorbell rang right as I got to the door and when I opened it, it wasn’t just my father standing there. Grayson, Tiffany and Margot were with him. Why the fuck had they come? The thought of the unpleasant visit made me tighten my grip on the doorknob. 

“You’re the only one I was expecting,” I bluntly said to my father. “I didn’t know you’d have company.” 

“We all wanted to surprise you! It’s good to see you, too, dear.” Margot faked a laugh in her annoying voice. 

“Speak for yourselves.” Tiffany rolled her eyes with crossed arms. “Being here already suffocates me.” 

“If that’s the case, why did you bother coming here?” My expression was blank but my tone was a little sharp. 

“Ugh! Do you actually think I want to be here? I came because mom forced me.” 

I almost laughed. Of course she had a part to play so she could keep up appearances in front of my father. 

“Are you going to let us in, or will you keep us standing here?” his voice cut through the standoff. 

With a clenched jaw, I stepped aside and swept my arm toward the living room. 

Grayson was the last one to come in and as he walked past me, I had a small smirk, thinking about everything Harper had said to me late at night. 

He noticed it and even stopped in his tracks, but I shrugged and said, “What?” 

“It’s nothing,” he said, continuing in his steps so he could sit beside Tiffany. 

I sat right across from the two of them, my single seat not so far from where my father had taken a seat. 

Unlike the rest of us, Margot didn’t yet take her seat as she was too busy looking around the entire living room. “This is very impressive. You have such excellent taste a-” 

“Anything to drink?” I cut her mid–sentence as I looked around at everyone. I didn’t have time to listen to her fake compliments. 

“Dad’s right.” Her voice was now sweet. “We shouldn’t let things from the past come between us. Can we start over?” 

My lips curved into something that looked like a smile, even if it wasn’t. “Sure.”
