The Millionaire's Bride Ā Ā Ā Chapter 117
NOAH Camille glanced over both shoulders as if checking to make sure the coast was clear before extending both hands, palms up, toward Sprite. āTake your pick, pretty lady.ā One hand offered an apple and the other a sugar cube. Noah wasnāt sure who liked treat time the most, his girlfriend or the horse. Dixie circled Camilleās legs, begging for attention. Heād just watched from the tailgate as Camille rode Sprite through the pasture by the stable. āSugar. Always a good choice.ā Camille waited for the blue roan to finish the treats before nuzzling noses with the big softie. Itād been a week since Noah was released from the hospital, and he was still getting used to needing help completing small tasks. The bandages were cumbersome and needed to be changed often. Not to mention small things like showering and putting on pants had become a chore. Camille spent every moment she could helping him. He didnāt mind it when she helped, but it was an unspoken truth that any āhelpā from his b

āThereās a lot you donāt know about Nathan, but none of it excuses what he did,ā Bonnie said. Bonnie went with Camille to her house to change clothes and pack a bag of extras, in case Noah stayed at the hospital overnight. She planned on staying there until he came home. Sheād called Anita and rounded up some things she needed too. Now, Camille and her mom were back on the road, and they had a lot to talk about. āNathan was adopted when he was four years old,ā Bonnie began. āHe was neglected as a child, and he had a handful of health problems that had never been treated. By the time he was taken from his parents, he was malnourished, dehydrated, and had several broken bones and bruises.ā Camille turned away from her mother. She wasnāt sure if sheād ever heard this story before, but her heart told her she hadnāt. āYour grandparents didnāt have any children, but they had been in touch with the local foster care system and were contacted when Nathan was still recovering. They adopted

Her foot rested heavy on the accelerator as she drove from Cody to Blackwater. Anger and betrayal built within her with every mile that passed beneath her tires. Twisting her hands on the steering wheel, she ached for a distraction. Something to calm the storm of her emotions. How could Nathan do something so horrible? She called Jenny and let the ringing in her car speakers drown out the roiling in her ears. āHey. Whatās up?ā āNoah is in the hospital in Cody. A bear attacked him this morning.ā āWhat?ā Jenny screamed. āIs he okay?ā Camilleās voice shook. āHe is now. It looked so bad after it happened, though. It clawed his leg up good.ā Rustling sounded on Jennyās end of the line. āDo I need to come?ā āNo,ā Camille assured her. āHeās doing okay. They stitched him up and heās conscious now, but he lost a lot of blood. Heāll be in quite a bit of pain while it heals.ā āI canāt imagine.ā āThey were cleaning up a dozen cows that were shot last night when the bear attacked.ā Camill

She couldnāt lose him. Not again, and not like this. Camille raked her hands through Noahās hair while his head lay in her lap. She was trying to be brave. It wouldnāt do either of them any good to break apart right now. Noah needed her to stay alert and strong for him. āIām glad youāre here.ā His words were faint, but sheād heard him. Whatever reason he had for breaking up with her didnāt matter now. A tear slid down her face as she prayed. āLord, please lay Your hand on Noah. Help us get him to the help he needs in time. Help me to be strong. Help us.ā Her words cracked at the end, and she squeezed her eyes closed. āPlease, Lord. I donāt want to lose him.ā Tears burned her eyes when she opened them. He was lying stillātoo still. She looked to Lucas. āI think heās unconscious!ā Lucas held the injured leg stationary. āAlmost there.ā She turned and stretched her neck to see the main house over the next rise. The red-and-white ambulance was parked in front. The paramedics carefu

NOAH Noah tried to hold his ground, but the bear was running toward him now. He lowered the phone from his ear and yelled, āMicah!ā He took two steps backward on instinct. He wasnāt running, but he was pretty sure it was the better option right now. On the third step back, his heel snagged on a fallen branch. He fell backward, arms flailing, and his phone went soaring through the air. āMicah!ā Noah couldnāt take his eyes off the advancing predator to see if his brother was coming to help, but he prayed heād yelled loud enough to be heard over the running tractor. The bear slowed as it approached Noah lying on his back. The fall had knocked the wind out of him, but he wasnāt breathing anyway. The bearās large paw lifted and swiped down faster than any animal that large shouldāve been able to move. Noah cried out once more as the claws sliced across his thigh. āMicah!ā A boom filled the air, followed by another, and the bear jerked backward and fell onto its side. Noah could hear

NOAHNoah drove through the gates at Blackwater Ranch in a daze. His shift at the fire station had started the morning after heād gone to Camilleās, and it had been a long two days.His shifts were always tiring, but this time he hadnāt been able to sleep or eat like he should to keep his energy up. Losing Camille felt like a constant, nagging hunger. His insides were empty, but he couldnāt get filled.Heād been praying, but no answers had come. Was he supposed to fix this on his own or wait for the Lord to show him how to mend his broken heart?He topped the slight hill before the main house, and a sinking feeling hit him in the chest. There werenāt any trucks parked out front. It was breakfast time. Everyone shouldāve been there.Noah hastily parked by the door and ran inside, forgetting to take off his shoes.āMom. Dad,ā Noah hollered into the empty dining room.His mom stepped out of the kitchen and wiped her hands on her apron. āTheyāre all out,ā his mom said in a shaky voice.āW

NOAHNoah closed Camilleās door behind him, but it didnāt block out her sobs. He couldnāt move his feet to walk away from her just yet. What had he done? Heād made things worse with Nathan tonight, and thenā¦ this.Remembering the look on Camilleās face had his gut twisting. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt her. Heād been given the chance to be happy again, and it had all been taken away too soon.Anger built in his chest as he sat on the small step on her front porch. There was a roaring in his ears, but he could still hear Camilleās wails behind him.He wanted to go back inside and hold her and tell her they would make it through anything together.But he couldnāt do that when it was probably a lie. How could he save his family and keep Camille in his life? It was too much to hope. Heād been allowed to enjoy the best times of his life with her, and the stretches of time in between were just filler.Sitting alone in the dark night outside her door, he hung his head and prayed.

Camille leaned closer to the screen of her laptop and squinted. āThose might work,ā she mumbled to herself. The boots on her screen resembled the ones Noah and his brothers wore around the ranch, but finding the female equivalent had proven to be a challenge. Plus, ordering shoes online was always hit or miss. She ran the heart pendant of her necklace back and forth along the chain as she added the boots to the shopping cart.Sheād wised up with the wide-brimmed cowboy hat already, and good boots were a must at this point if she planned to keep working with Noah around the ranch on her days off.A knock sounded at her door, and Camille jumped in her seat, bumping her knees on the desk. āOww.ā So much for assessing the stranger at her door before revealing she was at home.She pushed away from the desk and padded over to the door in her bare feet. Peering through the peephole, she saw Noah standing on her doorstep with his hands in the front pockets of his jeans.Camille fumbled with t

NOAHCamilleās parentsā house was a log and brick monstrosity with wooden columns along the front side thicker than Noah had ever seen. Two stories of walls and windows stretched into a double-decker garage on one side. A twenty-foot-tall statue of angels and cherubs sat imposing in the grassy area along the circular drive.Heād put off coming here for long enough, but it was time to talk. If Nathan wasnāt home, heād just sit in his truck and wait for him.Noah had always felt small when he came here. The size of the place dwarfed anything around it except the mountains. He knew from days past when he would visit Camille that there was a heated pool in the back along with a fire pit, an outdoor grilling area, and a guest house.The old truck door groaned and creaked as it closed behind him, and Noah threw his cowboy hat back into the cab through the open window. There wasnāt any sense in stirring the pot. His boots thudded loudly against the sturdy boards of the porch as he approached
