Chapter 61

Four months later…

From the top of the mountain, Zacky watched his land stretch as far as the eye could see. The movement of the harvest took over the vineyard; men and women worked between the rows, filling baskets with ripe grapes. He reached out, picked a bunch of purple grapes, and tasted one. It was sweet, just right. He set the bunch aside to take to Dolores.

"Maurício."

"Sir?"

"I'm going home. Take care of everything here."

"Will do."

Zacky walked to the pickup truck and place

  • Rejected by the Cowboy   Chapter 97

    Chapter 97The sound of the approaching car engine seemed to beg for mercy, gears shifting erratically."What the hell…" he muttered, rising from the chair. He narrowed his eyes against the cloud of dust rising from the dirt road.The pickup truck zigzagged dangerously. It burst through the open gate with a jolt, skidded on the gravel, and stopped with the bumper scraping against the wall, scratching the paint.Pâmela placed a hand over her chest, her heart racing."My God!"Rafael stepped out of the barbecue area, jaw tight and brow furrowed.The driver’s door opened with difficulty. A man climbed out, almost tripping over his own feet, the smell of burnt oil and alcohol spreading before he even began to speak. Three workers got out of the back seat, sweaty, stained with grease, laughing quietly."Thanks, guys," the driver said, patting their shoulders. "Without you I’d be sleeping on the roadside tonight."They waved, exchanging pats on the back, and headed toward the ranch hands’ h

    Chapter 96After the commotion, the doctor returned to the room to check on Pâmela again. They repeated the tests, did a new CT scan, and assessed her vital signs.Rafael waited by her side, paying attention to every detail. Almost an hour later, the doctor came back with the chart in his hands.“The tests are normal. The concussion was mild, there’s no internal bleeding. She should rest and take pain medication. She’s cleared for discharge.”For Pâmela, being discharged could only mean one thing: danger.As soon as the doctor left, silence filled the room. She stared at her own hands.“I don’t know where to go.”The fragility in her voice squeezed Rafael’s chest. He thought for a few seconds.“We can go to the police station and file a report. Register everything. The threat, the break-in here at the hospital…”She shook her head.“He’ll kill me.”Rafael frowned.“He won’t.”“You don’t know him,” her voice began to tremble. “He has friends. He knows people. If I do that, he’ll finish

    Chapter 95She was taken for examinations, the cut on her head was stitched, and they checked for possible fractures. Rafael waited outside, pacing back and forth, feeling guilt crush his chest.Almost an hour later, the doctor came out of the room."She is out of danger. She had a mild concussion and some bruises, but she’ll be fine. We just need to observe her for a few hours."Rafael felt his legs weaken with relief."Can I see her?""You can. But don’t stress her."He entered the room slowly. The young woman was lying down, her red hair spread across the white pillow. Even pale, there was something about her that held his gaze.He sat in the chair beside the bed. He stayed there, waiting, and two hours passed.Then, slowly, her eyelashes fluttered and she opened her eyes.For a few seconds, she was confused. The ceiling was not her bedroom’s. The smell was not her home’s. She frowned. She didn’t remember lying down. In fact… that was not her room.Was she dreaming?She turned her

    Chapter 94In less than an hour, all the deliveries in town were completed. Boxes unloaded, receipts signed, and new orders confirmed.Rafael got into the pickup truck and started the engine. As he shifted into gear, his gaze drifted for a moment to the other side of the street.He saw Luana walking slowly along the sidewalk, holding hands with another man. It was Mr. Alexandre’s son. She was smiling at him.Rafael went still. Robson noticed the strange silence from his brother and followed his line of sight.The scene was like a punch straight to the face."We lost," Robson said.Rafael swallowed hard. His fingers tightened around the steering wheel."Yeah…" he agreed, almost in a whisper.He put the truck in gear and drove off without looking again. Because looking hurt.Silence.They made the remaining deliveries like automatons. They fulfilled every commitment. Signed papers. Collected payments.And so they continued until everything was done. When the sun was already beginning to

    This story is derived from Rejected by the Cowboy.Enjoy your reading.Chapter 93Thirty years later…The wind gently stirred the dry leaves scattered across the cemetery ground. Thomas stood still before his parents’ grave, his eyes filled with tears despite the passing years.Twenty years had gone by since his father’s death and ten since his mother’s. Even so, the absence had never stopped aching in his heart.Juliana stood beside him, holding his wrinkled hand with the same affection as decades before."I miss them so much, Juliana…" he murmured, his voice heavy with longing.She squeezed his fingers."I know, my love. I miss my parents too…" she sighed. "But unfortunately… or perhaps fortunately, I’m not sure… that’s life. It’s the natural cycle."Thomas nodded slowly."We’re not young anymore either." He gave a faint smile. "I’m already past seventy… and despite that, I feel good. Strong, even. But…" He paused. "I’d like to meet my grandchildren before I die."Juliana looked at

    Chapter 92Eight months later, the ranch seemed even more alive. On the porch of the main house, Dolores sat in a rocking chair with Rafael in her arms, while Zacky knelt on the rug spread on the floor, where Robson was crawling."Look at this…" Dolores commented, laughing softly. "Eight months old and they already want to run the whole house."Zacky stretched out his arms, and Robson crawled straight to him."This one is going to be the boss," Zacky said, lifting the baby into the air. "Born with a leadership spirit."Dolores stood up slowly, placing Rafael against her body, and moved closer to them."Or both," she added. "One gives the orders, the other confirms them."Rafael babbled something incomprehensible, looking at his grandfather.Zacky smiled, feeling his heart tighten with love. He picked up Rafael as well, holding a baby on each side.Juliana appeared on the porch, leaning on Thomas, watching the scene with a tender smile. Thomas put his arm around her waist."Look at thi
