The Governor’s Son Chapter 48
“WHERE IS YOUR FRIEND, the one named Angelito?” Roy asked Denver after five days of his absence. Denver’s lips are resealed. He doesn’t want to speak about his situation.
“Are you fine, Denver?” Cher starts to inquire about his feelings, and Denver cranes his neck to the floor. After they’ve passed the assignment to the professor, he felt empty once again. Denver always wishes he is in a good hand when he is not around at the apartment.
Moreover, Maxine is now slightly going back to her normal state. Denver’s prayers were heard, and he was showing gratitude for every blessing he attained. Roy lingers his hands on his shoulder, slightly massaging his back to calm him down.
“Relax. We’re curious about his absence… and the both of you are living together, right?”
A hum vibrates in his throat, sending positive feedback to Roy. Cher’s cheeks always fluster when Angelito’s name is being mentioned in their
The Governor's Son Chapter 49 MIDTERM EXAMINATION week starts and Angelito starts going to school even he doesn't wholly recover from his stab on his thigh. Furthermore, he listens well to Dennis's class discussion, so he can't miss a single thing even at home. The Don finishes first, and his classmates are startled by the swiftness in his answers. Their teacher in English didn't utter a single word when she looked at him in the eyes. He's so confident about his answer because he takes an advanced lesson during his vacation for two weeks. Angelito grins at Dennis as he slips an answer key on his hand under the desk. Dennis moistens his lips but apprehensive and discreet when craning his eyes on the answer key. His best friend goes out of the room as Angelito waits for half an hour before they go out, feeling drained. Until dawn, he kept on reviewing because it was the time when he could look at Denver's innocent and adorable face… that'
The Governor's Son Chapter 50ANGELITO DROVE up to the school even his schedule is ten in the morning. Denver rushed to his room… only to know the teacher had already got the test papers.His soul shatters in front of the door. His feet cannot feel the ground out of his disappointment and panic attack. He glares at Angelito, who innocently gazes at him.He would like to cry when their instructor looked at him. "Denver, why you're late today? Oh…." She goes and then leaves him behind. His two friends go to him as Cher flickers her fingers."D-Denver? The exam was not difficult at all. You can talk to our instructor right now."Opening his ears to their conversation, Angelito walks away. He scratched his nape since he didn't understand his mere reaction to his cutie pie's problem.Roy and Cher assisted the crying Denver to the faculty as Angelito was listening outside."Good morning, ma'am. C-Can I take the e
The Governor’s Son Chapter 51“MAMA!” DENVER cannot keep his voice down now when his hands wrap on her mother’s delicate body. He cannot contain his heart away as the doctors smile at him.“Did you prepare for your school?” she asked, and his son looked at her with confused eyes.“Mom, it’s our midterm now,” Denver responded innocently. Maxine still thinks it was six months ago. Her mind cannot adjust right now, even how the doctors and nurses pamper her with the information she needs.Her indistinct mind needs some light to make her adjust. “Mama, you’re sleeping for six months,” Denver said, and she looked at the doctors and nurses who didn’t tell her a single thing.Maxine’s face gives a negative impression of what she hears from him. However, the doctor tries to absorb the reality. No other words can describe her happiness when she’s near his
The Governor’s Son Chapter 52“PASS YOUR TEST PAPERS in the centre aisle, and the centre aisle pass it to the front,” the professor said them as Angelito and his two friends are rushing to pass their test paper.“Hey! Hey! Pass it now—““Wait!” Dennis glimpsed in Angelito’s discreetly opened answer sheet so he could put the remaining blank letters.Their professor kept on waiting until all the papers were in front. “Good job, everybody. The next instructor is now waiting outside the classroom….”All of their eyes broaden in shock. No one sees it coming as instructor Alexandre goes inside the room. Mouths are agape in his presence. Even Angelito is startled by his quick distribution.“W-Wait sir… w-we please give us some minutes before the exam. We just finished the last one—“However, Alexandre is in a bad mood, not smiling
The Governor’s Son Chapter 53AFTER MIDTERM EXAMINATION, Denver is excited to go home to Valenzuela because his mother is waiting for him. Packing his other essential things inside the apartment, Angelito’s a little bit apprehensive about his leave.He looks at the Don, and Angelito tilts his head in the other direction, far away from his inspecting eyes. Denver doesn’t say a word before going to the door, but his eyes are darting at Angelito.“I’ll be back after a month,” he bitterly said before twitching the doorknob.Angelito stands up, making Denver pause his steps. The Don heaves a heavy sigh before going to him.“Oh…. I-It’s n-nothing,” he stutters when looking at him.“I love you, Angel. You can visit, but I still need to support Mama. I know you understand my situation,” Denver pressed his lips in a guilty sensation. He cannot disregard the situati
The Governor’s Son Chapter 54TWO weeks seem a long time for Angelito since they only communicate via text and Instagram for a while. Luckily, there is an event on the whole campus, making them free from their horror classes and professors.With his two best friends, Angelito signed their attendance before listening to some words of welcome from their special guest for today. It’s November, and in December, he will go back to Aklan with them.“Where should we go?” Sunshine asked, looking at her newly polished nails. They continue walking up to the ground and have a glimpse of what’s happening around the campus.Their other active classmates joined the play, and it seemed they were all enjoying i
The Governor's Son Chapter 55DON ANGELITO PARKED his Jeep in the parking lot of the Ramos lending company. He goes straight to the guard and gives his ID for validation.The building is significant, and many workers are busy with their computer screens. There are also some people queuing on the other side of the building, waiting for their turn to have usury money."ANGELITO!" a thunderous call catches his attention, and Angelito tilts his neck in the voice's direction. His uncle goes to him, and he hugs him as he guides Angelito to his office.After they reach the room via the elevator, Ramos offers him a seat."Please suit yourself, mi Hijo," he greets him, and his secretary gives them coffee, then exits the room for a private conversation."I received your text message last night. I already settled her bill as you wish, Angelito."He bowed at his uncle and showed his most profound gratitude. "Gracias, tío Ramo
The Governor's Son Chapter 56"MAMA!" Denver calls Maxine as he gets the two plastic bags in her clasping hands.He smiles at Angelito, easing his apprehensive chest. The last time they saw each other was in the police station. However, now… he is here for good with an unknown answer for the thoughts flying in his head.Maxine takes her coat and put it on the arms of the chair in front of the door. She breathes heavily, and unexpectedly, Angelito's heart turns luminous."How are you, Don Angelito?" her question shakes his world as it crumbles the most complex outer shell of his soul. No one ever makes him feel this way again, not even his stepmother.This time, he finally has the gut to face her in a friendly and presentable way after she wakes up from a coma. No matter what happened, Angelito still owed her since she and Denver made him feel worthy again for forgiveness."I-I'm totally fine, A-Auntie…." He cannot
The Governor’s Son Chapter 108THERE ARE S0 MANY law students who are waiting for the bar examination result outside the Supreme Court. They go at the bustling people—trying to have a spot in front of the massive LED television. Even it’s only nine in the morning, the weather is so hot as their bodies are sweaty. Especially Angelito, Dennis and Sunshine feel like their throat is dry with the sweating hands, back and forehead.They are praying so hard for their name to appear on the screen. A little while longer, when they are waiting, a representative goes to it as he advances his congratulation to them for trying their best. The law examination is one of the Philippines’ most challenging exams to pass.Denver holds Angelito’s hand under the bustling crowd. Angelito looks at him with an uneasy look on his face. “I know you will make it,” said Denver.“Thank you, cutie.” The students and o
The Governor’s Son Chapter 107TWO YEARS LATERAngelito goes inside his car with a broad smile drawn on his face. 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. Two years had passed, and the love remained strong and getting stronger every day. Angelito sees his stepmother on the other side of the road from a distance.Denver doesn’t notice it, but he sees his boyfriend’s saddened reaction. He is worried something is bothering him on his special day.“Is there any problem?”“Nothing… do you want to go with me?” Angelito asked as Denver willingly went with him.They didn’t walk
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. His head is dizzy from the final requirements his professors ask before the end of the school year.The last thing he can do is watch the local news in the morning. However, when Denver bites his wheat bread with jam. His jaw stops munching when Don Pablo appears on the news."Don Pablo Marquez, the governor of Aklan, had been pleaded not guilty by the court in the slander and arson case that was filed by the previous hacienda workers. This also states that the real culprit behind the arson was Jayson Enriquez. Thirty-one years old and now hold by the custody as he will face forty-years in prison because of the death of Alfred Fronda Nervar back in twenty-fifteen."Denver accidentally dropped the bread as his tears fell when he saw Don Pablo eluded in his case. On the other
The Governor’s Son Chapter 105ANGELITO IS STILL PERPLEXED about everything in his life. When he comes back to Manila with his grandparents and Denver. 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. I have a trust to Denver and your other friends, as we agree to the protection that you have under the file disownment… your father cannot talk to you unless you are graduate in your Juris Doctor.”From what he can see, Angelito will now face the world alone.“I trust Denver to be your company, Angelito,” Don Pedro pleaded with confidence. The wounds are profound to heal over time.“Angelito, you are now at the age to know what is wrong or right. I appreciated your courage to stand on your ow
The Governor’s Son Chapter 104DON ALFONSO’s calculation that they will be anchored in the late afternoon goes successfully. Denver is nervous when the service van stops in their front. 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.
The Governor’s Son Chapter 103IT TOOK ANGELITO ALMOST A WEEK before he can finally rest his mind. With the help of his grandparents, Maxine and Denver. 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. He keeps on observing Denver since they are the only ones inside.“Angel….” He calls him, and he immediately pours his attention.“What is it?” Angelito replied.He can feel Denver’s heavy sighs as he stops writing.“Thank you,” two words, but the impact to An
The Governor’s Son Chapter 102THE CLANKING sound of metals only gives them a sense of reality. 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. All of that… I feel it all in Denver’s arms.”Barbie tries to calm her heart and Diana, which
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
