Invisible to My First Love (Harper and Maddox) novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164

Grayson

Once again, Harper rejected me. That was the one trick I thought was going to work on her, knowing how much she’d wanted that all these years. That was supposed to be our first kiss I wasn’t just doing it to test her. I was also curious what her lips would taste like, but she had other plans.

I didn’t even look back at her as she walked past me and left the store. I was still trying to deal with the pain in my balls. She could’ve killed me.

The store had cameras everywhere and I knew that I had to go up to security to get that footage deleted.

It was only at that moment I realized that I was trying to kiss her in a public place. We might’ve been just the two of us in that small space, but the cameras still caught it. That was what she did to me. I’d lost all my senses and just wanted to taste her lips right there. Nothing else had mattered at that moment and now I paid a heavy price for it.

I also hoped that no one had actually seen me in the store get pushed and walked over like that.

I heard voices approaching, making me stand more upright as I didn’t want to bring any attention to myself. It was going to be so embarrassing if someone would see me like that, especially one of the staff.

My balls throbbed so hard that I didn’t leave right away. I dragged my feet to get deeper between the two wardrobes.

When I got to the narrow space where I had trapped Harper, I leaned against one of the wardrobes and took out

I had to make it look like I wanted to be there, just in case someone was about to walk by.

And just a few seconds later, someone did. It was an elderly couple.

“Hello, young man,” the man said to me right from where he stood.

I smiled at him and his wife. “Hello.” I said with as little discomfort as possible.

“Are you buying these wardrobes displayed here?”

“No. I’m just waiting for something.”

“Then we’d like to see them.”

my phone.

He said nothing more than that and I just stood there, waiting for him to say something else. He smiled, like he expected me to get it and when I finally did, my eyes widened a little.

“Oh,” I said, with a nod of understanding.

They wanted me to leave that spot as it was the only way in.

I swallowed hard, thinking about how I had to walk out of there with my balls still throbbing.

“Of course,” I said.

Taking a deep breath, I began to drag my feet, looking down at my phone as a distraction. It was the only way my unusual walk would look like it was planned.

My grip on the phone tightened as I felt it with every step that I took.

When I finally made it out of the narrow space, I looked up from my phone to spot the closest chair. It was just a few feet away and that was better than leaving the store as I would have more steps to cover.

Chapter 164

The moment I took a seat, I hissed in pain. I had just sat on my balls, making me get up immediately. I realized at that moment that sitting down was worse.

It was then that I settled for walking as slow as possible while using my phone to make myself look busy. I received a message from the mall manager at that moment, asking if I was no longer interested in the tour.

While I still wanted to know every inch of that mall, the pain wasn’t going to allow it right away, so instead, I told him we could do it the following day.

I continued walking out the store slowly, the staff I came across asking if I needed anything.

Shaking my head, I made it out the exit. I was now back in the corridor and realized it didn’t matter which way I was about to go, it was still going to be a long walk, but I would feel every second of it.

Harper had definitely punished me hard and after what she had done to me, I don’t think I was ever going to try that shit again.

but Just after a few seconds of making that promise to myself, I shook my head. It was heartless of her to do that to me, maybe she was just nervous. I refused to believe she wanted absolutely nothing to do with me. She had loved me for years. There was no way she would just shut me out so easily.

A few weeks ago, it would’ve been so easy for her to just give in, but now she actually didn’t want to just because she was dating that fucker who now owned everything from my father–in–law. How could it all go to him even if he was trying to protect the assets? Why not Tiffany?

I was only mad about it because had it all been transferred to Tiffany, it would’ve worked to my advantage. The more I got out of her, the more I wanted.

I began thinking about what financial heights I could’ve reached when something Harper had said crossed my mind. She was a part of the Beauregard family and with everything I knew about them, it was a big deal. It didn’t matter who her father was, as long as he was from that family, she could be wealthier than I could ever imagine.

As I wondered how she even found out, I received a call from my mother. It made me roll my eyes as this wasn’t the first time she’d called me that day. I’d spoken to her earlier, but ignored the rest of her calls because of what she wanted to talk about.

Just because I thought things would be different at this time, I picked up her call.

“Mom,” I said, my voice neutral.

“Are you home yet?”

I shook my head with disbelief because it was still the same thing

“No.”

“Come on, my son. We already talked about this earlier and you promised that you’d go home as soon as possible. The divorce between Mr Aldridge and Margot has been finalized and Tiffany isn’t doing too well. How could you not be by her side? And don’t forget that she’s carrying your child and my grandchild.”

“But that’s not my…”

I quickly pressed my lips together as I realized that I almost told her the truth, that it wasn’t my baby.

“Mom,” I said more calmly, “I just have so much to do here at the mall now that it belongs to me. My wife understands that. I may not be with her right now, but I’m constantly checking on her.”

“That’s a relief.” She chuckled. “It’s just so awful that Margot walks away with nothing. What if this will mark the beginning. of us losing out on a lot of business deals because she doesn’t have that much influence anymore?”

Chapter 164

I scoffed. “There’s no need to worry about anything. Don’t forget about who I am now. And look at the bright side.”

“Which is?”

“Your days of not standing up to her are over.”

She chuckled with excitement, then went on to talk about how she couldn’t wait to meet Margot and show her a different side.

As she went on to tell me about a few incidents that I didn’t know about, I made it to the parking lot and got in the driver’s seat, gritting my teeth as I could still feel the discomfort in my balls.

I was just about to drive off when I leaned back in my seat hard. I’d just realized that the footage of me trying to kiss Harper hadn’t yet been deleted.
