The Millionaire's Bride Chapter 103
Camille’s phone rang on the nightstand beside her bed, startling her from a sound sleep. She lifted her head and squinted into the dark bedroom. The phone continued to ring, but her tired brain hadn’t processed anything beyond the intrusion.Propping up onto her elbow, she leaned over to look at the glowing phone. It was midnight on the dot, and the caller ID read Noah over a photo of him she’d secretly snapped at Blackwater Restoration. He was wearing a sweaty T-shirt and facing away from her with his hands propped on his hips during a break. She hadn’t been able to resist the shameless photo of his backside, and he’d rolled his eyes when she’d shown him later that day.A knock sounded on her window, and her heart stood at attention. What was outside?Camille snatched the phone up and answered before it stopped ringing. “Hey.”“Hey, yourself. Come to the window.”Why was he whispering?She kicked the blankets and sheets from her legs and plodded across the cool floor to her bedroom w

NOAHStepping into the small local church on Sunday morning was as expected as the sun rising in the east, yet Noah somehow felt different every time. Each week passed much like the one before it, but the wheels of time were turning at an alarming pace these days.He used to sit on the fifth pew from the front with his family and Camille every time the doors were open. Now, he still sat in the same place, but one person was missing.It was a blessing that Camille had held onto her faith through everything she’d experienced. A traumatic brain injury could easily change someone’s personality entirely. Thankfully, he hadn’t seen much of that in Camille. Her memory seemed to be the most affected, but she was still the lively, kind woman he’d known when they were teenagers.If things settled with Nathan, maybe he could sit beside her through church services again. Where did she attend services these days?Noah hadn’t seen much of Camille since her birthday. He’d worked his 48-hour shift at

Noah wasn’t kidding when he said sometimes his schedule got hectic. Apparently, summer was hay season, on top of all the other regular duties. After two weeks of scraping for time with him and only seeing him during his volunteer hours at Blackwater Restoration, she decided things had to change. If she wanted to see him, she’d have to go where he went—to the ranch.Camille sat on the open tailgate as Noah filled the tractors with diesel from the tank truck. She’d started trying to help out while she was there. Some things were easier to understand, while other things were just hard labor. By the end of the second day on the ranch, she knew she needed new shoes and that cowboy hats weren’t just a fashion statement.Despite the heat and the dirt, she treasured the time she spent with Noah there. If she thought she enjoyed watching Noah working at Blackwater Restoration, it was nothing compared to seeing him in his element on the ranch. He made sweaty and dirty look good when he pulled w

NOAHNoah followed Camille back to her house without turning the radio on in the truck. The old stereo only worked half the time anyway, and he needed the quiet. If he worked in the fields alone all day, it wasn’t uncommon for him to enjoy the silence for the rest of the evening. He used to go days without even speaking to anyone before Camille came along.But Noah liked talking to her, and it lifted his lonely soul when she asked questions about what he was doing. It wasn’t always easy to work with someone new on the ranch. He and his brothers had perfected it over years, but the solution was usually to keep your head down and minimize chitchat.With Camille, it was different. Explaining a task to her was as easy as breathing. She listened, and he usually had the time to let her give it a try on her own. It was a good thing she wanted to work alongside him. Ranchers didn’t have much time during daylight hours to spare for spending time with girlfriends or spouses, but he knew Camille

NOAHNoah nudged his horse, Weston, closer to Camille’s blue roan, Sprite. They’d been riding since just before sunrise, and they hadn’t spoken much. Actually, they’d both remained fairly quiet since Camille’s mother had stopped by the night before. Noah certainly didn’t know what to say, and Camille seemed at a loss for words too.The silence wasn’t tense, but there were things not being said. Instead, they’d kept their conversation generic. She pointed out a patch of wildflowers and several hawks circling overhead between the stretches of horse hooves clopping on the dry dirt. When Noah’s horse fell into step beside Sprite, Camille’s smile told him she was strong enough to handle what was coming.“I’ll figure this out. Don’t worry.” He reached out a hand, and she placed hers in his with a smile.“I know I told you I didn’t want to know what was going on, but I think I figured it out anyway.” She turned her gaze from him to look at the open pasture ahead of them. “This could be bigg

Camille was awake, dressed, and pulling up at Blackwater Ranch before sunrise. Noah said that he and a ranch hand named Jameson were taking some calves to the auction today, and she’d asked if she could tag along. Granted, all of that had been before she knew she needed to get up before the roosters.She parked next to the main house and grabbed her new cowboy hat out of the passenger seat. She’d gotten a walnut colored one to match Noah’s, and she was beginning to feel lost without it.She spotted Noah by the truck with the trailer behind it and waved. Trotting up beside him, she wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a quick kiss. “Morning, handsome.”“Morning, beautiful.”Camille looked around and realized the calves were already loaded. “How long have you been up?”“I’ve been out and about since five. We separated the calves yesterday, but I still needed to load them when the sun came up.”And she’d been silently groaning about their six a.m. meeting. “Do you sleep?”Noah r

NOAHCamille’s parents’ 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.He’d put off coming here for long enough, but it was time to talk. If Nathan wasn’t home, he’d 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 wasn’t any sense in stirring the pot. His boots thudded loudly against the sturdy boards of the porch as he approached

Camille leaned closer to the screen of her laptop and squinted. “Those might work,” 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.She’d 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. “Oww.” 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
