The Governor’s Son Chapter 14
“Be mine, cutie pie and I will take care of you.”
A day had passed since Don Angelito said it to him. However, Denver couldn’t even take it off his head while preparing to visit his mother at the hospital.
He wears his casual attire and his shirts are now fitted to him. It’s been a year since he bought some shirts for himself—fortunately, Maxine advices him buying a shirt with allowance of his body size.
Denver is happy to look in the mirror on how he grown well. Nonetheless, his tears fall down when their home is desolate right now. He gets some money from Don’s benevolence…. He sighs deeply to take it in an instant and then goes outside.
Moreover, Maxine will be angry if he will confesses that he gets money from Angelito’s compensation for being his substitute. He don’t want his mother to be angry when she wakes up in the future.
Seemingly, he
The Governor’s Son Chapter 15SUNSHINE AND DENNIS are awestruck by his confession.“YOU’RE A DEVIL!” she screamed to the top of her lungs when looking at Don Angelito, but the handsome Don doesn’t care about her opinion.“I know,” he replied lifeless and without any signs of regrets in his words. Sunshine covers her mouth when finally realizing the Don still cares about the cute boy.“So you don’t kill the mother?”“Yes, she’s now undergoing bone operation today.”Dennis and her breathes so deep enough to release their worries away. His best friend hugs him in relief of his positive response. They thought he killed the two yesterday!“You’re still soft inside, Don Angel. I thought you’re going merciless towards the two….”Sunshine cries because she’s so worried about Denver. “The cute boy? Where is he now?&rd

Moreover, Denver asked for help because Angelito’s money is now decreasing too much.There’s nothing left inside his cabinet. He tries to asked financial support… nevertheless, none of his relatives want to help him because they all enough. Denver’s left inside their home crying in a corner to release his grief and disappointments.He don’t want to be with his sleeping mother because it makes him stress. The nurses like Angelito’s request are closely monitoring Maxine.The enrolment is now near because he passed as a civil engineering student at The University of the Philippines, Diliman campus.

The Governor’s Son Chapter 17 CHIEF EXECUTIVE Ramos knocks on his apartment door as Angelito opens it immediately. Denver is anxious when seeing them both holding a paper. “Is that the debtor, Don Angel?” Angelito nods and hums in response to agree with his question. “I’m afraid I cannot lend him money in his state. My corporation will not be gaining it back in the said contract time. My apologies for being frank—“ “I’m going to pay it—just make sure he will be receiving the benefits.” CEO Ramos looks at him shocked. “Pardon, mi hijo?” Angelito breathes deeply when looking at his cutie pie that’s quivering at the corner while flickering his hands. Denver is hopeless from being candid. “If Don gobernador will know this one… I’m sorry, I need to revoke your request,” he says in a severe voice—holding his briefcase. “CEO…. I’m
The Governor’s Son Chapter 18 SILENCE COVERED the whole room-- quivering body as Denver thinks about his promise to the Don. He is holding Maxine’s hand that is in her deep slumber. His thumb smoothly caressing her skin. Denver cries while looking at his mom’s pitiful situation. He is so slump, thinking about how to get away with this kind of scenario. If this is a nightmare… he wants to wake up right now. Denver’s tears flows like a streaming river—endlessly day by day. “Mama…. What am I gonna do?” he murmurs sobbing on her side. “I’m sorry! This is the only thing I know. I need to abolish the case for our own good. Don’t worry, mama. Angelito is now good… h-he promised t-to take care of our e-expenses,” he says while crying, but his words are stuttering in grief. The dilemma of being alone—sets him in a trap of uncertainties and delusions. Angelito never felt sorry for him. “I-I promise, m
The Governor’s Son Chapter 19DENVER CARRIES HIS BACKPACK with Angelito going inside his car. He looks back at his home—deserted and heartbroken. The handsome Don let him shrink his doubts about his benevolence.Denver wipes his tears as he goes into the passenger seat. Angelito looks at his reflection in the rear mirror. “Are you sure, you want to sit back there?” he asked pleasingly to the ears.He never heard a single word coming out of his mouth when Denver went inside his car. He sighs heavily as Angelito drives the car—he could barely hear some sniffing, but he ignores his emotional breakdown.They can only see the traffic jam and hear the aircon’s sound echoes inside the Jeep. Angelito cannot take it anymore.“Cutie pie—““Please, don’t talk to me, Angelito,” he coldly cuts his words as he sniffs again, holding back his tears and emotions. The Don ag
The Governor's Son Chapter 20SUNSHINE GOES FIRST—can not hide her excitement to see Denver inside Angelito's apartment. Meanwhile, he and Dennis stroll with a cigarette in the hallway."How about your next mission to give that hefty amount? Are you sure to leave him with it?" Dennis asked for his reassurance because it was too dangerous.Angelito stays silent—not losing his cool. He blew a thick smoke in the air before he looked at his worried best friend.He leans on the wall and then doesn't care. Even the ashes fall on the ground and create a black and unpleasing surface."Are you afraid for me or for him?" he asked in a severe tone. Dennis chuckles to shake his worries away."For the both of you—if your father knows this, Angel…. I cannot cover you up. My power is limited," Dennis freely expr
The Governor’s Son Chapter 21“Y-YES? Angelito s-said you will pick this up….” He stutters when looking at them. The two men went inside the apartment and then locked the door. Denver’s body is quivering in fear because of their bad aura.He doesn’t feel comfortable.Are they under a syndicate?Denver keeps on looking at them, but the two don’t care about him. Moreover, they opened the box.Denver’s eyes widen when they get all the fruits and goods inside the Styrofoam. They looked at him, but he tried to divert his gaze.A mysterious man smiles. “What are you to the Don?” he asked and stood up, confronting him. Denver’s knees feel like gelatine when he approaches. He looks closer
The Governor’s Son Chapter 22 DIANA was so worried about the Don as she got the key to their room. It’s nearly lunchtime, but he never goes down with Denver. She is entirely puzzled about what’s happening. The moment when she’s in front of their apartment door. Diana knocks thrice, but no one answers. He just put a single sticky note saying, ‘reheat when you woke you, Don Angel.’ She opened the room and then slowly closed the door not to disturb his sleep. However, when she puts their food on the table… Diana goes to have a peek at them. She gasped in surprise when sighting the two hugging on the bed. They’re so cute together. “What a sight to see,” she murmurs to herself and then leaves the room. ANGELITO wakes up half an hour after she delivers the food. He’s so confused why his hands are hugging so

A bouquet of roses caught his attention when he closed the door.“Congratulations,” Denver proudly congratulates him for graduating as a cum laude in law. Angelito cannot hide his happiness when he touches the flowers.“Well, thank you for this, cutie….” Angelito says with a blushing face.

The Governor's Son Chapter 106DENVER SAT AT THE living room with an American breakfast on his tray. He gets the remote underneath the sofa as he turns on the television.

He can still feel the weight of yesterday.Don Pedro and Donya Lilia need to go back to Spain two days from now. Denver also can’t react to what happened; luckily, there is Maxine to help them recover.“We will leave you here, Angelito.

The true challenge will come ahead of them.He looks at Angelito’s calm face. On the other hand, Angelito can feel his lips tremble in fear when he realizes how mad his father will get.Donya Lilia and Don Pedro are silent at the back while waiting for an hour trip to the mansion.“Angelito, whatever happens, you will continue your studies here in the Philippines,” Don Pedro stated amidst the silence. Angelito is confused about everything as he looks at Donya Lilia.“Angelito, you will still study here in the Philippines. We’re afraid that you and Denver will heavily adjust in Espanya,” Donya Lilia supported her husband’s notion. Angelito is helpless when the decisions are not from him anymore.

He realizes how important those people are in his life.His uncle’s mansion is silent, and when he goes to the dining area, Denver is doing his projects for his major and minor subjects. Angelito cannot help to smile as he goes to him.He landed a kiss on his fragrant hair. “Good morning, cutie….”“Granda Lilia said you need to eat your dinner before we go to Aklan,” Denver said as Angelito sat down at the table area.

What they see in front of their eyes are unrealistic.“ANGEL!” Denver cries to him as he slowly crawls to him.“Angel…. Don’t do it!”However, Angelito remains standing while watching his father.“I only wish to leave in peace with Denver. I do everything you want until this tiring point of my life, Papá. You shouldn’t have threatened Denver’s life—““ANGELITO!” Don Pablo’s voice thunderously echoes all over the place. His eyes burn with anger and compassion towards his son.“I want to die… I want you to carry this burden. I only asked for love. I only ask for the attention that you never gave to me.

The Governor's Son Chapter 101 EARLIER IN THE AFTERNOON, when Denver waves goodbye to Cher and Roy, he waits for a taxi outside the campus. His eyes are on his phone screen about prosecutor Alexandre's instructions. From: Mama [Denver, you should be careful right now. My boss told me I am now under special protection.] To: Mama [Don't worry about me, Ma. My special protection is now rolling, and any time next week, I can have it.] A little longer, his mother replied. From: Mama [Please double-check your lock and commute so many people will see you outside.] Denver sighed as he turned off his phone. A little longer when a taxi stops in his front. "San ka? (Where will you go?)," The driver asked him as Denver nibbled on his lower lip before opening the passenger seat. "Valenzuela, sir," he answered honestly as the driver looked at his phone's screen. Without any words, the taxi goes,
The Governor’s Son Chapter 100DAYS seemed dark for Denver after their conversation that night. He never heard anything regarding Angelito because even Sunshine and Dennis could not approach him.Going past the office of prosecutor Alexandre, Denver goes inside as usual. He’s been like this for a month, and nothing can stop him now—not even Angelito can change his mind.“Have a seat,” Alexandre said with compassion towards him. He can feel Denver’s loneliness through his eyes as he can’t deny the fact that he is still struggling to keep the pace of his schedule in his adjustments.Denver sat on the couch as the prosecutor put the waiver since Denver is now legal age. He can freely do what he wants to himself.“I asked your Mama, and she said… the decision will always be yours. I set up protection for you against Don Pablo’s threat. However, I cannot reassure if that will be
