In His Shadow, I Became Her Toy Chapter 10
The day after the celebratory party, I submitted my resignation to Apex Tech's main headquarters. Now that things were running smoothly at the Abellian branch, my job was done. I wanted to take a break.I wanted to see the world and indulge in some of the things I enjoyed doing.On the day I left the company for good, I saw Simone outside the building. She was leaning against a car, holding a bouquet of white roses, her expression worn.When she saw me coming out with a box in my arms, she hurried forward."Isaac! You're leaving?""Yes.""Where are you going?""I don't know yet. I'll probably just travel around."After a long silence, Simone handed me the flowers. "These are for you."I didn't take the bouquet. "You can keep the flowers, Ms. Murphy."Her hand froze in the air, and the light in her eyes slowly dimmed. "I… I just wanted to say goodbye.""Goodbye," I replied, giving a curt nod before walking past her to grab a cab."Isaac!" Simone called out from behind with a

Simone went overboard in her attempts to make it up to me. She tried to give me 30% of the shares in Murphy Group, but I returned the agreement without signing it.She bought the entire office building where my company's office was, saying she was giving it to me to use as my office, but I had Connor refuse it on my behalf as well.Simone even visited my parents, begging for their forgiveness in the hopes that they would put in a good word for her.My parents called me, their voices filled with heartache as they told me, "We heard about what you've been through all these years, Isaac. Simone hurt you, and we… failed to protect you. No matter what you decide to do, you have our support."I held the phone, my eyes tearing up a little. That was all I needed. My family's understanding and support mattered more than anything else.Under my leadership, the project with Murphy Group proceeded smoothly. At the celebratory party, Simone attended on behalf of Murphy Group. She had lost a co

"You saved her life, huh?" I repeated, my chuckle disrupting the heaviness of the atmosphere.I walked up to Jerry and looked down at him. "Did you really get that scar from a fire, Jerry?"His eyes flickered, but he stubbornly shouted, "Of course! How else could I have gotten it?""Is that so?" I drawled. "Why do I recall you falling off a tree when you tried to steal mangoes from the neighbor's garden when you were ten years old? A branch had cut you on the way down, didn't it?"Jerry's face turned ghostly pale. "S-Stop lying!""You know full well whether or not I'm lying," I retorted, my voice clear as I leaned in. "You didn't even go to the abandoned factory that day—because you were at home after Mom sent you to your room for secretly eating the cake in the fridge that you weren't supposed to touch."Simone whipped her head up to look at me, her eyes flickering with shock. "Isaac… Back then, the boy in the fire…"I met her gaze. "It was me."She staggered backward, just ba

After work, I went down to the basement parking lot to get into my car when Jerry rushed over and stood in my way.With his bloodshot eyes and disheveled clothing, he looked nothing like the proud and sophisticated man he used to be. Instead, he was more like a screaming lunatic."Isaac!" he bellowed. "Why did you come back? You decided to leave, so why did you bother coming back?"I calmly looked at him and said, "I'm just doing my job.""Your job, huh? I know you're doing this on purpose! You're just playing hard to get to seduce Simone again, aren't you?"His face was twisted with jealousy as he continued, "You're such a devious bastard! Ever since we were kids, you've always tried to steal my things! First, you wanted to steal Mom and Dad's love, and now, you've come back to steal my woman! Why won't you just die?"Jerry raised his fist and swung it at my face, but I easily caught it, my gaze frosty."It was always you who tried to compete with me, Jerry. You're the one who

After the meeting ended, Simone immediately ran after me."Isaac!" She stopped me in the corridor, her attitude the meekest I'd ever seen from her."Are you free this evening? I'd like to… treat you to dinner to welcome you back."Jerry also came after us, his smile stiff as he hooked his arm around Simone's."That's right, Isaac. Since you just got back, we should meet up for a family meal."But Simone subtly pulled her arm away, and that simple reaction made Jerry's face go pale.Honestly, they amused me."That won't be necessary, Ms. Murphy," I politely declined. "I already have plans tonight."I walked past her to leave, but she called out to me once more, her voice frantic."Isaac! Can't we… even be friends?"I stopped and turned back around. "I don't think we were ever friends, Ms. Murphy."This time, along with my team, I left the building without pausing.Once we were in the car, my assistant, Connor Lewis, couldn't resist prying for gossip."Mr. Griffin, Ms. Murph

Simone couldn't believe it.I had resigned from the company? How could I have done that without her permission?She flew into a frenzy, calling everyone I could've been in touch with. She also sent people to my house and even to my parents' place.Alas, everyone had the same response. I was nowhere to be found. It was as if I'd vanished into thin air.Simone slumped back onto the chair, her heart feeling hollow as it stung painfully. Only now, when I'd disappeared from her world, did she come to the belated realization that she couldn't live without me.…After arriving in Swansoria, I underwent reconstructive surgery for my scars. The process was far more painful and far longer than I had imagined.I gritted my teeth, silently enduring every skin graft and laser treatment. Dr. Harris said I was the most resilient patient she'd ever met.During my recovery, I didn't waste my time, either. I dove back into my profession, obtaining multiple prestigious certifications. I even publ
