Sailing Away From Her Heart Chapter 5
The app I developed was powered by the latest tech and outpaced the industry. No technician could really handle the app. It was simple to maintain, but it wouldn't survive a day without the core tech, which I owned.When Hugo spotted me, it was as if I was his knight in shining armor. "Mr. Lyon, you're finally here!"As I walked into the office, he gave me a warm welcome. Then, he turned to the clients and said confidently, "Now that Mr. Lyon's back, we'll have this sorted in an hour!"The clients looked relieved as soon as they saw me.I sat at my desk, booted up my computer, and worked for about ten minutes.The clients broke into cheers. "Problem's fixed! Mr. Lyon's a true expert! His skills are incredible!"I gave them a heads-up. "This app will only work for a month. After that, we roll out a new version, so be ready."The clients were in shock. Some of the sharper ones immediately started demanding refunds.The app charged a monthly fee, but clients could save a lot if

Jack's face fell, and he quickly turned to Isabel, whining, "Ms. Bluett, I was just trying to help out! It feels like no one gets that I'm trying to do the right thing. Can you please explain that to Mr. Dempsey for me?"Isabel felt for him and patted his shoulder, her voice gentle as she comforted him. "I know you're really trying to do what's best for the company. I've got your back!" Then, she shot me a dirty look and said with a smirk, "Unlike someone who's ready to bail but still trying to take down the company! Keeping such people around is like keeping a rotten apple in the bunch. I'm making Jack the HR director. He has the authority to fire anyone!"I grinned. "Works for me! But just so you know, I might not want to stick around, but it'll cost you if you try to fire me. Pay up my severance, and I'm out the door."Honestly, I didn't really care about that money. I was sticking around for another month just for the long-time employees."If Mr. Lyon's out, I'm out, too! Pay

"What's with all the knocking? Can't you tell I'm in a work meeting with my assistant?" Isabel was pissed, and she had good reason.Her blouse was on backward, and fresh kiss marks were found on her collarbone.Jack was sitting on the couch, his shirt looking rumpled.I caught a strange smell in the air, and instantly, nausea hit. I grabbed the trash can and started puking for a solid minute.Isabel's temper flared. "Cillian, do you actually need something? If you're sick, just get yourself to the hospital already! Quit seeking my attention every day. I'm not into you!"Once I stopped puking, I sneered at her. "What's the deal with the temper? Is Jack not satisfying you? If I'm interrupting, go ahead and continue. I'll come back later."I was turning to leave when Isabel grabbed my hand. "What's with the sarcasm? If you're jealous, just say it! I'd actually think better of you if you'd just own up to how incompetent you are!"I shook her hand off, feeling repulsed. "Don't touch

Before Jack could finish, Isabel quickly brushed his hand away. "No personal stuff during work!"My heart sank. Jack didn't finish his sentence, but I could already tell what he meant. She was already pregnant with his kid.I snorted. "You've got a week to finalize the divorce, or I'll get a lawyer and take it to the court!"They stayed out of trouble for the next few days, and I could finally breathe easy.I spent most of my time just goofing off at the office. When work was slow, I'd take the day off and relax at the hotel.I was ready for another laid-back day, but when I got to the office in the morning, Isabel surprised me with breakfast and a big smile. I could tell she was about to ask me for something."Cil, I brought you your favorite coffee and hash browns—got you a couple of servings. Enjoy them while they're fresh!" She eagerly set the breakfast on my desk.I shot it a look of disdain, my face scrunching up. "Don't you know I've been dealing with stomach problems and

"You're going out drinking tonight, Cillian! It's part of your job!" Isabel barked."I'm having stomach issues today. I'm sitting this one out." I declined."Just suck it up. It's not going to kill you," she said, sounding unconcerned.I scoffed. "It's your company. Why should I bust my ass for you?"Isabel was at a loss for words.Without warning, Jack charged over and slapped me across the face. "Quit playing sick and making excuses! This investment is critical for the company, so you've got to show up!"I punched him straight in the face. "Who the hell do you think you are? I'll go if I want to. Nobody's making me do anything."Jack held his face, shooting me a death stare. "Cillian, you're fired for hitting me!"I shrugged. "Fine by me. Just make sure I get my severance. And let's be real, you hit me first—I was just defending myself."Jack was all cocky. "Did anyone catch me hitting you? Everyone here only saw you punch me!"Then, he turned to Isabel. "Right, Bel?"Isab

After I quit, long-time employees from every department started bailing. Investors started pulling their money out, and clients were coming in every day asking for refunds.Isabel was drowning in it all and couldn't keep up with the mess. It wasn't long before the company was facing bankruptcy.Jack resigned and broke up with Isabel when the company became nothing, but I was done caring about any of that.I started my own company with backing from several investors. When my former colleagues heard about my new venture, they quickly lined up to join.I never expected starting a business to be this easy. My company was soaring with all the resources and talent, while Isabel's was nowhere near that level.One day, I was walking down the stairs feeling on top of the world when Isabel suddenly stepped in my way. "Cil, let's get back together. I finally get it. The company wouldn't survive without you! All those investors and clients showed up because of you!""So now you get it? Too b

I hung up, and a cold weight settled in my chest. I canceled our reservation for the candlelit dinner at the fancy restaurant.I spent three hours waiting, but Isabel Bluett never showed up. She said she was swamped with work. I believed her, never expecting she'd be out sailing with her assistant, Jack Leary.How ironic.After canceling the dinner, I returned the million-dollar bracelet to the jewelry store. The bracelet was meant to be a gift for Isabel for our third anniversary, but now it felt unnecessary.I ordered all my favorite dishes and dug into a hearty meal. Not having to worry about Isabel's preferences made eating much more relaxed.Once I had my fill, I finally headed home. To my surprise, Isabel beat me home this time.The second I walked in, she threw me a box. "Here's the Halcyon watch you like. I got it for you."I opened it, only to find it was a used model from years ago, barely worth 500 dollars. The gift she got me was so thoughtless.It was so ironic, es

Isabel didn't get back home until the middle of the night on the second day.Before she came home, she posted on Instagram. "Spending time with young guys is the best. They're so full of life, passion, and energy."A comment under her post read, "Young guys can definitely turn up the heat!"The commenter had Jack's profile picture. I could tell right away it was his second account. I considered blocking him again but decided against it. I decided to play along if he wanted to mess with me.I held back the urge to curse and quietly liked his comment.Isabel boldly replied to Jack's comment with an adorably shy emoji. She uploaded a photo of them sipping from the same glass.It didn't take long for Jack to change his profile picture to that photo.I tapped on his profile picture and asked, "You think this is fine?"He acted all innocent and explained, "I was just playing around with Ms. Bluett. Don't take it so seriously! She's got a great sense of humor and doesn't mind at all.

Isabel blew up again. "You dirty, shameless jerk! What the hell are you even saying?"I scoffed. "Too scared to bet? Then you're definitely lying! Fine, let's divorce. You don't care about this marriage anyway!"Isabel was taken aback. "Divorce… I never even considered that…"Just then, my phone dinged.I checked it and found a friend had sent me a photo of Isabel and Jack locked in a passionate kiss in a hotel room. Jack was wearing the secondhand watch Isabel gave me.So, the watch was no longer at home. It had ended up with him instead.My anger flared up. I shoved the photo in Isabel's face. "Are you still going to lie when there's clear proof of your affair?"Isabel's face flashed with guilt, but she quickly masked it. "Cil, you've got to trust me! Those photos are fake. Jack and I are just colleagues! These people have nothing better to do than cook up ridiculous rumors! It must be our competitor. They're trying to ruin us!"I nearly believed her as she went on with all t

Isabel backed away, her face showing a flash of panic. She hadn't seen me that mad in ages—probably not since last year. It didn't take long for her to think I was faking it.She rolled her eyes at me, her expression dripping with disdain. "I'm not firing either of you. All you want is an explanation, right? Fine, here it is. Honestly, what century are we in? How can you still be so narrow-minded?"I shared a hotel room with him because he wasn't feeling well, and as his boss, I had to look out for him. We shared a drink at dinner because our colleagues kept pushing us to. It was just for fun."I held back my anger and asked, "So, you flaunting your love on Instagram and him using that sweet picture of you two as his profile pic—was that just for fun, too?"Isabel blew up immediately. "What else? You think something's going on between us? Don't think you can control me just because you're my husband! This is how young people have fun these days. If you can't keep up, you're living
