All Chapters of SECRETS and BETRAYALS: Isla and Silas Hidden Child: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

SEVEN YEARS OF marriage, love had existed, and habits still remained. Even though she withdrew from this swamp, the latent understanding between the couple over the years suddenly resurfaced with a hidden pain. Nagmamadaling sinara na ni Isla ang pintuan, hindi niya na planong tumuloy pa sa loob. Masasaktan lang niya ang sarili. Ngunit bago pa man niya magawa ang bagay na iyon, Isla was pushed hard by a pair of small hands. A childish yet angry voice rang out. “You bad woman! Why did you peek at my sister and brother-in-law on their date?!”Isla lowered her head. She saw a little boy, only a few years old, standing in front of her. The boy was clearly spoiled as he grew up. His chubby body resembled a small cannonball, and his face was full of arrogance. Medyo malakas ang boses ng batang lalaki kung kaya naman narinig ng mga tao sa pribadong silid ang kaguluhan sa tapat ng pintuan. The door opened. Silas remained aloof and arrogant, his gaze fixed on Isla’s pale face. Walang kurap bi

THE PHONE SCREEN shattered into pieces in an instant. It's almost impossible to tell that it was originally made. Isla’s reaction was like a shock. Binalot ng sitwasyong ito ng isang nakamamatay na katahimikan ang buong paligid. Nang mapagtanto ni Shirley ang ibig sabihin ni Isla ay bahagyang natawa ang babae. Napuno na ng panghuhusga ang kanyang mga mata na para bang mayroong malaking kasalanan si Isla na nagawa doon.“Letting us see isn't giving you a chance to prove yourself, is it?” mapang-uyam ang boses ni Shirley na para bang may pinatunayan si Isla sa padalos-dalos na ginawa niyang iyon. “Isn't this just you acting like you have a guilty conscience? May tinatago ka sa cellphone ‘no?” Isla’s emotions were almost out of control because of this. She felt embarrassed, disgusted, angry, and terrified, which almost exhausted her. Alam niya rin iyon. Only by going to extremes would they stop forcing her to keep looking at her phone. Kinailangan niyang gawin iyon upang protektahan ang

NANATILING MALAMIG ANG expression ng mukha ni Isla. Ipinakita na wala siyang pakialam sa kung sino ang kasama niya sa elevator. Nagpanggap siya na siya lang ang naroon. Wailey, however, did not care. After all those ridiculous incidents, it's understandable that Isla would lose face. Sa malamang din, nahihiya ang kaluluwa ng babae sa puntong ito.“It's just a cellphone, Isla. Even though you've been a housewife for a few years, you shouldn't be so narrow-minded.” hindi na nakapagtimping usal niya na para bang kailangan niyang sabihin iyon para ipagtanggol si Shirley kahit wala sa lugar na iyon ang babae ay nais niyang iganti ito., “If you were as capable as Shirley and had the opportunity to see the world, you wouldn't be so petty and trapped in romance. Did Silas shortchange you? I'll pay for it, okay? Magkano ba? Ako na ang magbabayad nang manahimik ka na at lubayan mo na siya kahit na ikaw naman talaga ang mismong nakasira.”Wailey has dated quite a few girlfriends. Women's thought

PAGSAPIT NG LUNES ng umaga, Isla arrived at the company. Mr. Lane has already arranged an office area and a separate team for Isla. Naka-priority siya kung kaya naman hindi maiwasan ang kung anu-anong haka-haka patungkol sa kanya.“You're in charge of the overall direction of the new drug, and then there's our previous idea of ​​launching the medical robot project.” Mr. Lane was visibly in a good mood; Isla’s return had relieved him of a major concern. Having left the industry for many years, Isla inevitably felt a pang of melancholy. Buong akala niya ay hindi na siya muling makakabalik pa sa mundong ito. Higit na mas gusto niya dito kumpara sa pagiging doctor niya, ngunit mas pinili pa rin niya ang magligtas siya ng buhay.“Am I really capable? Sa tingin mo, Mr. Lane, kaya ko ba ang lahat ng magiging responsibility?”“Oo naman. Ito ha, the company's first rule is no excessive modesty. That's too pretentious.”Napatakip na sa kanyang bibig si Isla nang sabihin iyon ng lalaking halos

SHIRLEY’S EXPRESSION STIFFENED slightly for two seconds. Bakas sa kanyang mukha na hindi makapaniwala.Is Isla telling her to eat shit? She frowned and sneered. Hindi niya mapapalampas ang pagsagot nito ng walang kwenta sa kanya ngayon.“So vulgar and crude, no wonder Silas looks down on you. Hindi ka niya magawang mahalin nang lubusan dahil diyan!”“Dapat lang iyon. Lahat kasi ng makita mong mayroon ako gusto mong kunin. Ganun kalalim ang inggit mo sa akin.” Humalukipkip pa si Isla, pinapakita na hindi na siya magpapatalo sa babae. Ngayon pa na naalala niya ang mga ginawa nito sa kanya katulong ang kanyang ina noon. Inagaw nito ang lahat sa kanya. Isla was even less likely to be friendly. She turned to the manager and made it clear that she wouldn't allow it. Hindi siya papayag na may kumuha pa ng bahay nila.“Isla, hindi ako nakikipagbiruan sa’yo!” Hindi siya pinansin ni Isla. Ganundin ang ginawa ng manager na nakatuon ang pansin sa kanilang tunay na kliyente.“Hindi niyo ako pap
