All Chapters of The Resurrected Sweetheart: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Yvonne's mention of "loving" reminded him of her monologue of affection for Erick earlier on the yacht. His lips twitched up a corner and he hissed, "Speak for yourself."Yvonne decided not to retort preferring to cherish the stillness except for Damon's heavy breathes that broke the silence.The pain in his shoulder was getting more numb by the minute, and he began to feel worried. He was worried that he might not last the longer the dart remained in his wound.He extracted a Swiss Army knife from his pocket and handed it out to Yvonne, saying, "Can you please help me remove the steel dart on my back?"As if he unwilling to be rejected, he pressed, "I will make sure you're adequately compensated after this.""No need," Yvonne muttered curtly, "You helped me before, so I'm only returning the favor. You won't even have to thank me!""All right," he responded, the edge of his lip curling sardonically.As flippantly as she agreed to help, but when Yvonne saw Damon's wound, she coul

He could sense the softness of her touch through the thin layer of clothing and it was a tingly-cold sensation.Yvonne found the tools and quickly retrieved them, all this while avoiding his gaze and said, "I'll try."It was about three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Shafts of light from the summer sun outside poured through the little cracks and holes in the ceiling like golden blades that pierced the darkness in the narrow space and divided it into various shapes.Damon's wound throbbed painfully all at once and suddenly he felt nauseous.He leaned back against the jagged stone behind him, watching Yvonne's deft and delicate hands at work.Her fair and slender fingers first checked out how his watch worked before she began disassembling it."The chip is an integrated type, but I think it is the contact points that are damaged... After you open it..." Damon instructed, but his voice faltered after a moment. The pain took such a great toll on him that he could not continue."

It could only be surmised that this was one of Damon's private estates, for the same steely atmosphere emanated from every corner of the ranch estate.Almost every available room in the estate was adequately furnished without any excess furniture and that left quite a lot of empty spaces.She walked to the water dispenser and got some water. On her way back, she saw that the light was on in the room beside hers.That seemed to be Damon's master bedroom.She paused for only a couple of seconds and before she could turn to go back to her own room, the door to the master bedroom opened.Their eyes met in wordless bewilderment.Damon was dressed in gray cotton pajamas, unbuttoned and part of his chest was clearly visible. Lethargy practically leaked from his eyes as he came nearer, saying, "Can't sleep?"She shook her head, waving her cup around as she replied, "I just came out to get a drink.""Go to bed then. Everything might finally come to an end after tomorrow," Damon's voice

Then she recalled Damon working till late at night, even while battling a fever and the notion sent a sweeping chill through her."What is he actually?" she wondered.It was conceivable to guess that if the scandal was indeed proven to be true, their winning of the tender would be revoked and Damon would be able to secure it again. It was like taking revenge without tainting his blade with blood.Even with her cursory understanding of the man, Yvonne was certain that her guess was as good as the truth itself. Even if she was mistaken, Damon Brown could just as easily fabricate some proof to checkmate his enemies!"Have I provoked a monster that I shouldn't have?" Yvonne thought, wondering if she should put as much distance between Damon and herself as possible...What sounded like the rumble of an engine drew nearer, then she heard the voices of men talking.Suddenly she recognized one of the voices; it was a voice that made her sit up straight!She rushed out from under the sha

Being in Damon Brown's residence, Yvonne knew she needed to keep her suspicions to herself.Damon and everyone else did not appear for lunch. For the entire day until the evening, they were absent, leaving Yvonne wondering if they had gone out or were they simply too busy. She had dinner and decided to go out for a while."Is he still busy?" She moped quietly. The date of the robotics competition was nearing and her two-day absence would inevitably hamper her team's progress.The final slivers of sunlight sank into the horizon and darkness blanketed the sky. Yvonne strolled near the flowerbeds by the side of the estate's gate and saw to her surprise, a three-colored pansy blooming gloriously.With nothing else to do, she knelt and took out her phone to take a picture of it. It was then she heard the sounds of several cars racing from afar and screeching to a halt.She frowned as she looked up and saw the headlamps of the approaching vehicles and she quickly ducked into a dark corn
