Invisible to My First Love by Lypstical Novel

hapter 75 Chapter 75 Harper 73 56 vouchers There was a huge black box that was neatly placed on my doorstep and tied with a silk ribbon . The packaging made it seem like something from a luxury store . I took it inside , closed the door and dropped it on the couch . When I opened it , the first thing I saw was a $ 4,000 receipt . I rolled my eyes with a chuckle as it was typical of Maddox to do such a thing . He wanted to make sure I knew exactly how much he had spent . Putting the receipt aside , I trailed my fingers over the black fabric in the box .

I was so curious about what it was that I took it out and held it up . It was then I realized it was a dress . There was no way I was going to try it on in the living room as I wanted to check myself out in the mirror , so I rushed upstairs , took off my clothes and put on the dress . I stood right in front of the mirror , feeling a little seductive as my collarbone and shoulders were exposed . The top half of the dress clung to my body while the lower half cinched at the waist , then loosened into a skirt . The dress was the right length to show off part of my legs while keeping it elegant .

I grabbed my phone , texting Maddox quickly to tell him that the dress was a perfect fit . His reply was almost instant as he asked for a picture . I smiled , loving the idea of making him wait until he'd come to pick me up just to see me in the dress . I was just about to put down the phone when he sent another text and this time , it had nothing to do with the dress . MADDOX : " It's been confirmed . Tiffany and Grayson are coming .

" Even though seeing Tiffany's name triggered me a little , I knew what the plan was , so I stared at my reflection and leaned forward like I was actually looking at her . I couldn't wait to play that game . A few hours later , I stood in front of the dressing mirror , curling the last strands of my hair into place when my phone screen lit up with an incoming call , Dean's name flashing on it . " Hey , you , " I said , placing the phone between my shoulder and ear . " What's up ? " " I'm just styling my hair . " " Getting ready to go out ?

" His voice was filled with that laid - back charm he always had . " Yup . " " Anything special ? " He chuckled softly . " Let me guess , another date with Maddox ? " 11:49 Sat , Sep 27 M Chapter 75 27.45 vouchers " Something like that . For you to say another date , I'm guessing you saw what's been trending since last evening ." " Exactly . I've talked myself out of this so many times , but I can't help it anymore . What did you do to him ? The guy is supposed to be a heartbreaker , not someone who takes his official girl to art exhibitions . " I chuckled as I played my part .

" His heartbreaking days are over now that I'm around . " " I don't believe that . I still feel that you need to be careful . You know what he did to my cousin . I'd hate to see him break your heart , too ." I smiled painfully . " That will never happen to me . " He sighed . " I know you've fallen deeply for him , but don't forget who you're dealing with . He might be your boyfriend , but he's still Maddox ." " I know who he is , " I replied , my voice softer this time , " But trust me , I won't get my heart broken ." I meant every word I said , because Maddox could never break my heart .

The only one with that Grayson and he'd already done it . power was At the sound of an engine outside , I paused with the mascara wand in my hand . It didn't sound like the usual sound I was used to . Curiosity got the better of me and I rushed to the window and peeked through the curtain , my jaw nearly dropping to the floor . There was a black limousine right in my driveway . A chauffeur in a black and white suit stepped out and opened the back door .

Maddox stepped out in a beige suit , his hair styled just as it was the previous day but this time , he had some sunglasses on and that made him look like he owned the entire city . My phone rang from the dressing mirror and I rushed over , his name flashing on the screen . I pressed it against my ear , rushing back to the window just to stare at him . " A limousine ? " That was the first thing that came out of my mouth . He smirked , his voice casual . " Yeah , I felt like doing something different today . " I had to remind myself that all that was normal for someone like him .

It shouldn't even have surprised me as much as it did as I'd been on his private jet before . Putting the mascara away , I made my way downstairs and opened the front door for him . His eyes scanned me from head to toe , slowly and deliberately . " Well ? How do I look ? " I asked . He didn't answer right away . Instead , he lowered his shades and spoke in a quiet voice that was enough to 11:50 Sat , Sep 27 M Chapter 75 make me press my thighs together . " Turn around . " 73 55 vouchers Fuck . I'd missed hearing him talk to me like that , which was why I immediately did as I was told .

I gave him a whole 360 to show him the dress he'd chosen for me from all angles . When I turned back to face him , his lower lip was stuck between his teeth , his eyes lustfully darkening . He then closed the distance between us , pulling me closer by the waist . My breath hitched as my hand rested on his chest . He didn't have to say , but I could feel the possessiveness radiating off of him . " Let's go . " His tone was more of a command than it was an invitation . The previous evening had been different .

He'd been too restrained when he'd dropped me off , but the guy taking me to the limousine was the Maddox I knew . The chauffeur held the door open and I stepped inside first , a gasp escaping my lips at the interior . There were cream leather seats , subtle golden lighting , a ceiling that glittered like stars and a minibar filled with a variety of liquor and champagne . I got comfortable in my seat , my fingers tracing the leather as I said , " This is ... " I trailed off as words failed me . Maddox took the seat right next to mine , stretching one arm across the backrest .

The sleeve of his jacket brushed against my shoulder and he smirked at my reaction . " Wait until you see the other ones ." Other ones ? As if that one wasn't enough to blow my mind . As the ride to the Aldridge Estate began , he poured champagne into two glasses and handed one glass to me . I wasn't even able to sip in peace as he wouldn't stop staring at me , especially my thighs . I didn't even have to wonder what was going through his head . I knew it all too well .

Trying to shift the tension , I said , " So , how did it feel being back in your San Francisco home and sleeping in your previous bed ? " " It was awesome ." He set down his glass to pull out his phone . " I missed that bed . You're the only one who was missing from it ." I rolled my eyes . He was definitely back . " I spoke to Aunt Patricia a few minutes before you arrived ," I said , watching the bubbles rise and pop in my glass . " She's not happy about this at all . I'm guessing you know why ." He lazily tilted his head as he scrolled on his phone and said , " Tiffany .

" I nodded in agreement . " She says I should be staying far away from you , not getting closer . She'll never forgive Tiffany for what she did to me in London . That's why she can't stand that I'm dating you , even though I'm not . " 11:50 Sat , Sep 27 M ... Chapter 75 For just a second , he paused with his thumb on his phone screen . ଝଛ ( 73 ) 55 vouchers " Yup , " he said , his stone casual at first as he continued scrolling through some work emails , then his voice turned quieter .

" Good thing this isn't real ." After that , he took his arm off the backrest , stared out the window and the conversation just died . I tried a few times to pull him back in with small things about the art exhibit , the dress , even a comment about how unreal the limousine felt , but his replies were just short , like he wasn't interested . His phone was still in his hand even though he wasn't using it and it was then that I assumed it must have been because of those emails .

He must've had so much pending work but chose to be with me so he could convince Tiffany that I was his girlfriend and get her off my back . With that in mind , I gave him some space , making myself busy on my phone by reading the comments on his most recent post about me . Not one girl gave me a compliment on how gorgeous I looked and left it at that . They just had to add some subtle negativity . I stole glances at Maddox every now and then , but not once did he stop staring out the window with a blank expression . Finally , he broke the silence , his voice back to his usual self .

" We're almost there . " I immediately put my phone away , smoothing the fabric of my dress and ready to put on a show .
