Chapter 303 You Brought That on Yourself
“They just got a call. One of the horses got spooked. Someone got thrownoff.”

Sierra’s face changed. She couldn’t sitstill. Her first thought was that something had happened to Johnathan and the others.
Draven, of course, was a lot calmer. “Relax Even if someone fell, it won’t be any of them. It’s probably one of the guys Shane brought.”
“They all went out together?” Sierra asked quickly.
“Yeah. They were racing. Even put money on it, I think. Didn’t I mention that?”
Draven looked like he was just now realizing he hadn’t told her that part. Sierra stared at him, utterly speechless,
KnowingJohnathanwas with Shane made her even more on
edge.
Just then, the sound of hooves came pounding toward them. Sierra looked up–and immediatelyspottedthe massive black stallion in the lead. The man on its back made her finally breathe easier.
Johnathan and the others rode in fast, though Maddox was nowhere in sight.
“Where’s the rest of you! What about Shane?” she asked.
“Shane broke his leg. He’s waiting for the medics to take him out,”Stonereplied.
“His leg’s broken?” Sierra instinctively turned to Johnathan. She didn’t know why, but it felt like he had something to do with
“Not my problem. He couldn’t keep up and fell off on his own,” Johnathan said, completely unfazed
Mateo and Stone exchanged a look. They didn’t sayanything, but their expressions said plenty.
Johnathan, innocent? Please.
He and Shane had been at each other’s throats since morning. When Shane suggested a race, Johnathan agreed on the spot.
And then he absolutely crushed him. Shane refused to admit defeatandpushed his horse too hard. The poor animal panicked, lost control, and threw him off.
So yeah–technically not Johnathan’s fault. All he did was provoke, insult, and humiliate the guy into making a dumb move.
Classic Johnathan,
He didn’t seem to care one bit. His eyes were fixed solely on Sierra,
She didn’t wear dresses often–thelasttimewasher birthday party. But here shewasin a long white one, and just looking at her made his throat tighten. He swallowed hard before finally saying, “You look good.”
So good, in fact, that he was gettingideasagain.
Sierra didn’t need to guess. She could tell exactly what wasgoingthrough his head just from the look in his eyes.
Unbelievable. Is this man machinet
They’d gone at it almost all night. Then he got up first thing in the morning to go ride horses.
ses. Wasn’t he tired?
Whether he was or wasn’t,Sierra definitelywas. Everything hurt.
When he caught her glare, Johnathan actually looked a little guilty.

“Damnshame. Brokenleg. He’s gonna be stuck at home for a few months. Better take it easy, Shane.”

Maybe it was the embarrassment, maybe the pain–but Shane didn’t have that usual fake smile on his face. He looked downright cold…
“I’m not dying.” he muttered.
He started tosaymore–then noticed Sierra standingashort distance away.
She was still in that long white dress. He blinked.
Then his eyes dropped–and locked onto her neck.
Even with her hair down, she couldn’t hide all of it. The marks were still there.
One glance and anyone could tell what sheandJohnathan had been up to last night.
Shane’s face darkened instantly. He lifted his gaze toward Johnathan, eyes cold as ice.
Johnathanmet his stare with one even sharper.
The tension between them crackled like live wires. The air was thick. Right as things were about to boil over,Maddoxcame rushing from the car and shoved himself between them.
“Shane,youshouldget to the hospital. Don’t waste time.”
Shane looked at Maddox and gave a faint smile. “Appreciate the concern.”
Then his friends helped him back to the car, and they left. Maddox finally let out a long sigh of relief.
He turned to Johnathanandcouldn’t help saying.“He’s the only heir the Goodman family’s got left. Maybe take iteasy.”
If anything happened to Shane–if he actually died–Jade would absolutely lose it. And with thekindof powersheheld now, that would be a problem for everyone.

He’d seen the way Shane looked at Sierra last night.
