Chapter 164: A Magnificent New Album and a New National Goddess
After treating the wound, Zachary’s face turned white with pain, and Yvonne was sweating because of nervousness.
Two people cuddled in the night.
Yvonne could feel that he seemed tired and did not continue to ask what happened today. But Zachary knew that she had been worried about herself, and said.
"I met a couple of punks today while leaving the office in the underground garage. They’ve all been executed now, and the police will question them. I’m just a little bruised."
Yvonne hugged him and looked up at him, "Then why can’t you ask other person to help you with the wound?"
Zachary’s voice was filled with a coldness as he narrowed his brows.
"Since the other side was able to sneak into the underground garage of our company, they must be fully aware of my life. I’m not sure whether there are their informers in our villa as well."
If there were their informers in Lord Villa who knew that Zachary was seriously injured, they would definitely strike a second time.
In that case, he would put Yvonne in danger as well!
"So you’d rather stand the painful yourself than putting me in danger, isn’t it?"
"I’ve asked someone to guard the Lord Villa tomorrow. It’s not safe here for a few days, I’ll ask Simon to take you back to the Taylor Mansion."
Yvonne immediately refused, "No!"
"We need to stay together, I’m your... future wife. Now you’re in danger, we should be together!"
"No. I won’t allow you to be in danger."
Yvonne said, "But even without you, I would encounter many kinds of dangers."
"Then I’ll erase all those dangers and keep you with me forever!"
When Yvonne heard the word "forever", her heart suddenly sank again.
She would leave after all, and couldn’t stay with Zachary forever.
But how could she bear that?
She was not willing to let him gain the love and then lose.
Yvonne sighed and pressed her head against his chest.
When embracing, their hearts were so close. Yvonne didn’t know if she was sleepy or too tired, her whole body felt a bit vain, just like the day gave birth to Angela and
Daniel.
She knew that maybe if she lying to him at this time, "Okay, then we’ll be together forever and never be apart", maybe his heart demon could be dissolved.
But as she was about to say the words, she suddenly remembered what he had done for her in this life.
There were countless nights he guarded her, and countless times he saved her from danger.
That kind of genuine love made it impossible for her to lie and cheat to him.
"Of course I want to stay with you forever...," Yvonne said sadly, "but have you ever thought how you will live if I am really gone one day?"
She had to make sure he could live well so she could leave in peace.
"There is no if." Zachary said, "You will stay with me."
"And what if I die?" Yvonne asked.
"Then I will never live alone."
In the darkness of the night, Yvonne’s tears flowed out at once.
The news of Zachary’s injury was blocked completely.
Zachary was unwilling to go with Simon, and Zachary didn’t force her.
But during this period, he and Yvonne moved to another mansion.
There weren’t any servants in that mansion. Only bodyguards manned at the door.
So it was absolutely safe.
In a flash, a month had passed. The wounds of Zachary had scabbed over, and they had lived in that mansion for a month.
During that month, although Yvonne couldn’t go out freely because she had to be careful of being recognized by fans and netizens. But she would still go around the path every day with her bodyguard to meet with Ralph. They recorded new songs and took promotional photos.
Yvonne was very busy those days.
Several times, it was already 12 o’clock when she returned home, and she had no time for dinner, conversation and entertainment with Zachary.
Zachary was very dissatisfied with that. and at night. However, the man became more aggressive at night and to had no tender heart.
Yvonne held him tighter and enjoyed the process.
Finally, one month passed.
The second song of Yvonne came out and would be released in three days.
When the news came out that Yvonne would release a new song, millions of fans excepted it.
"Goddess Yvonne! Goddess Yvonne is releasing a new song! I love her so much!"
"What type of song is Yvonne going to release this time? I bet it’s in a cool style too. I’m so looking forward to it!"
"Looking forward to it!"
In the recording studio.
Ralph looked at the enthusiastic reactions online and twisted his head, asking to Yvonne.
"Well, are you ready?"
"Once the new song is released this time, you’ll definitely be in the limelight. So be ready to get prizes!"
After all, it was a song that was even more catchy and moving than Heroine. It would definitely shock the world and make them impressed with Yvonne completely.
When Ralph listened to her singing at the banquet the first time, he wanted to write a song for her to sing.
Now, finally, it was time for Yvonne to become popular and charming.
...
Yvonne knew that until now, she was quite controversial online.
Many of them were fans of Marilyn, and others are netizens.
They didn’t like Yvonne unanimously.
Some people said that she did not have many songs, but she had been on the hot topic a few times.
Some people said that she became famous by slandering Marilyn. She was so vicious.
Others even commented that she had an unusual background and relied on a powerful man to become famous.
There were all kinds of skeptical voices.
But Yvonne understood that the only way to break the doubt was her work.
Under such skepticism, the song called "Sunspot" came out three days later.
Instead of releasing the song as a digital album, the music video was posted on the website firstly this time.
The MV began with the quote.
[Sometimes, there are dark areas on the surface of the sun’s photosphere. That is place named sunspot where the magnetic fields gather.]
The text emerged, and then a white light came on in the screen.
As the screen turned bright, the elegant and soothing electric piano began to play.
Together with the piano, a low, attractive voice sang the English lyrics. Yvonne’s voice was extremely low, recognizable, and fashion. As soon as her voice came out, all listeners couldn’t help but be attracted to it!
The MV showed a young girl in a tattered and wretched white dress walked through the crowd on the dance floor slowly in a lighted bar.
There were voluptuous scenes behind her.
Everyone wore masks of various animals. Only Yvonne, who looked like a goddess from the primeval jungle, was beautiful, holy, and in a mess as if after war.
The entire song was set in Groland mythology. In the story, Apollo, the God of the sun, who was the eldest son of Zeus, fell in love with Daphne, the daughter of Peneus. However, because Apollo was the god of the sun, his body gathered so much heat that Daphne would suffer from the danger of having her skin burned when she came near him.
So, whenever Apollo pursued Daphne, she would stay away.
One day, Daphne couldn’t stand the burning heat any longer and ran away while screaming for help. When Peneus heard Daphne’s pleas for help, he couldn’t bring himself to see his daughter suffer such pain and split the ground into a large crack. Then, Peneus used his divine power to turn Daphne into a big laurel tree. Daphne jumped into the crack, and became a big tree rose straight from the ground. While her hair became leaves, her wrists became branches, and her feet dug into the dirt.
Apollo, who loved Daphne deeply, was so remorseful when he saw the scene. He thought Daphne would rather become a big tree than be with him. He cried to the tree sadly, "Although you did not become my wife, I will always love you."
After a long time, Apollo realized that it wasn’t that Daphne didn’t love him, but his massive heat hurt her.
From then on, Apollo vowed to leave a shade for the laurel trees of this world forever, which was the sunspot.
[I will make my crown from your branches and leaves, my harp from your wood, and adorn my bow with your flowers. Meanwhile, I will grant you to be young forever.]
...
The song ended and everyone become fully involved unknowingly.
Just then, all those voluptuous scenes disappeared.
In a white light, Yvonne sat in the middle of the screen and said.
"Sunspots, as we know, make compasses shake haphazardly, and cause carrier pigeons, who are good at identifying directions, to get lost. When the number of sunspots increases, even earthquakes become more frequent."
"But in addition to these hazards, what is overlooked by us is that during the years when sunspots increase, crops are plentiful. Whereas when the number of sunspots are low, the climate becomes bad and even catastrophic rainstorms can occur."
"Sometimes, The crises in life are like these sunspots."
"Even if there are many hazards, there are beautiful legends about them, and there are aspects that are good for us."
"Those that can’t kill us will, in the end, make us stronger."
The song of Yvonne told a story that was very similar to her experience with cyber violence. The word "Yvonne" had double meanings, which both served as a rebuttal to online slanders and as an expression of her persistent and brave heart.
Those who do violence to her online would only make her stronger and stronger. And she would use these bad comments as the best medicine for her growth. So she could grow into a gigantic tree that radiated endless light like the sun.
As she sang the song, she not only thought about these recent experiences about the cyber violence, but also fantasized about the love story between Apollo and Daphne.
She didn’t want to become a person like sad Daphne, nor did she want Zachary to
remain unmarried for the rest of his life like Apollo or to misunderstand her love for him.
But now it seemed that the only way was to make him misunderstand her, so that he could live more easily.
The popularity of "Sunspot" was expected by all.
Since the release of the music video, the song had reached an epic attention.
Yvonne got 50 million more fans overnight. The song made more people understand who she was and became her fans. Meanwhile, her heartfelt words at the end of the music video inspired many people.
"I’m an ordinary white collar and I’m 27 years old this year. I’m under pressure from my family who ask me to get married every day. But I’m afraid to tell my parents that actually I have a boyfriend, whom I love very much. And I don’t want to get married at all. From the age of five, he lived across the street from my house. Then in junior high school, their family emigrated to the Arcus. Over the years we still contact occasionally, but I always felt that I was so ordinary and was not good enough for him. Once listening to this song, I decided that I would tell him this secret hidden in my heart for 20 years no matter what the result is! Wish me good luck!"
"I am a junior high school student. Everyone says that learning in junior high school is not difficult, but it is so hard for me. Questions that others can understand in ten minutes often take me half an hour. I don’t get good grades, and my parents are under a lot of pressure. In fact, I want to tell them that I really want to be a smart and good student. After listening to this song, I have to write my homework again. I believe that as long as I study hard, my mom and dad will understand me one day."
Gradually, there were more and more comments like this under the music video of the song.
People posted their most vulnerable and reluctant side online. Yvonne would also read the comments one by one when she was available.
She was very happy to see her songs bring strength to others.
The first day of the song’s release, "Sunspot" ranked on the first place on the major music charts. The heat of the song continued to grow, with many people reprinting it.
Besides, many of Yvonne’s former classmates, who hadn’t been in touch for over ten years, sent her messages after hearing that song. Yvonne received lots of message in her phone for the past three days. The song "Sunspot" was even officially praised, saying that the magnificent and charming song was a rare positive masterpiece in the new generation of singers.
