All Chapters of Rejected by the Cowboy: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Chapter 51At the foot of the stairs, Molly was waiting for her to give a few instructions before they entered the bar.“Lift that chin, girl. Walk in like a femme fatale. Like that you look like a virgin,” she said, assessing her with a critical look. “Listen… are you really of legal age? You don’t look like it.”“I am. My ID isn’t fake. I turned eighteen today.”“Alright,” Molly replied, chewing her gum for a few seconds. “I think I’ll introduce you as inexperienced. Men go crazy over that,” she laughed. “Come with me. Let’s make some money.”---Meanwhile, Billy was trying to convince Maurício to stay with one of the women there.“No, I’m out,” he replied, looking around. “None of them interest me.”“Man, you’re a guy,” Billy insisted in a low voice. “Pick any one. At some point the body reacts, you won’t even notice. You’ll get hard real fast.”Maurício narrowed his eyes, more certain than ever that the night was taking a turn he never would have chosen on his own.“Alright. Let m

Chapter 53She adjusted the short neckline of her dress, snapped her gum, and walked with determined steps into the waiting room, where the old man leaned unsteadily on a worn velvet armchair. He wore a suit that had once been expensive but was now frayed at the edges, and he looked like someone lost in time. A faint smell of cheap alcohol and old-fashioned aftershave drifted from him.“Good evening, sweetheart,” Molly said, her voice sticky with sweet, professional charm. She leaned forward in front of him, giving him a generous view of what he was about to possibly enjoy. “I heard you’re a special client. That you have fairy hands.”The elderly man slowly lifted his eyes. Though clouded by age and drink, they held a surprising focus. He studied her from high heels to platinum hair, expressionless.“Adélia said you… know how to make a woman happy,” Molly continued, sitting on the arm of the chair, very close to him. Her leg brushed against his. “Is that true?”An almost imperceptible

Chapter 55Zacky went to the gourmet area, and Dolores frowned as soon as she saw him approaching."What is it?""It’s Maurício. I don’t know whether I should be worried or not.""Then tell me what happened."He hesitated for a moment, unsure whether he should go into that subject, but he had already started. He told her everything. Dolores remained silent, thoughtful, absorbing every detail."If she was scared, the way he noticed, he should have talked to her," she said at last. "Asked how she ended up there...""I don’t know, Dolores. That’s not a place for a young woman.""I know, Zacky. But sometimes life’s circumstances don’t leave any other choice.""In this life there are always choices.""I know that too," she replied gently. "But in desperation, those choices don’t always appear clearly."He gave her a quick kiss and left, saying he was going to harvest corn and wouldn’t be back until the afternoon. As soon as she was alone, Dolores raised an eyebrow, clearly determined to ge

Chapter 57Dolores was in the bedroom, facing the open window. She ran her hand over her rounded belly, feeling the warmth of the life growing inside her.There was a sweet tightness in her chest. She couldn’t explain it, but she felt that something important had been done that day.She heard footsteps behind her. Zacky appeared silently and wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. His large hands caressed her belly."You did the right thing," he murmured gently. "That girl needed someone who truly saw her."Dolores leaned her head against his chest, closing her eyes."I felt that too," she replied softly. "Sometimes, helping is all we can do… and all someone needs."Zacky kissed her hair tenderly."Our son will grow up seeing this," he said. "That we don’t turn our backs when we can make a difference."She smiled, moved, keeping her hand over her belly, while outside the farm slept in peace.---Meanwhile, a few drops began to fall from the previousl

Chapter 59Meanwhile, Andréia watched closely the way Pedro cooked. As soon as breakfast was over, he had already started preparing lunch. His movements were fast and full of tricks she had never seen before, which left her completely amazed."I can…" she began, a little embarrassed, pressing her fingers together.Pedro looked up and smiled."Of course you can help me. I just hope Maurício doesn’t mind."Before she could answer, Maurício’s firm voice came from the doorway."I don’t mind. She can do whatever she wants."Andréia felt her face warm at his protective tone and returned it with a shy smile.Maurício left Dolores with Andréia and went out shortly after. As soon as she was alone, Dolores picked up the phone that was on the table and saw a message from André.André: "Boss, I’m practically having a heart attack on a Monday."Dolores raised an eyebrow, amused, and typed a reply.Dolores: "I’ll hire someone to take your place."The reply came quickly.André: "Oh, thanks. Just don
