The Governor’s Son Chapter 92
THE DAY before they transfer to a more luxurious condominium in Quezon City, Denver cannot hide his nervousness in what Angelito’s lies again.
Moreover, what prosecutor Alexandre said to him kept reminding him of the hammer he hid under the cabinet.
“Denver!” Roy shouts at him as he gets back to his primary senses.
“Huh?!” he reacts in Roy’s awakening. Since morning, his friend has looked flatly at him since he has been like this.
“Are you fine?” Cher holds his cold hand. Denver sighed when he heard her overwhelming concern.
“Not so fine….”
Roy instantly asked him for a valid reason. “Our project had been passed, so you don’t need to worry about it.”
Cher looks at Roy as she smiles in agreeing to his notion. Nonetheless, it’s not Denver’s problem.
“We will move tomorrow&
The Governor's Son Chapter 93DENVER set-asides the attaché case under the table while they are eating. As Denver rushes in, Cher and Roy are busy with their food, eating his lunch.Typically, he eats slowly, but now… Cher notices his rush in chewing his food. Roy goes to the counter to buy three juices for them."Is everything alright, Denver?" Cher asked him as Denver smiled."Sorry, I have to go—""Where are you going?" Roy showed up in the scene, but Denver took one of the juice in his hand. Roy's eyebrows furrowed when Denver drank the juice straight."Thanks, bro. Got to go! I have something to do," Denver excuses himself as he walks fast as he can to prosecutor Alexandre's office.He is anxious if he will stumble upon Don Angelito. Even in the crowd of student's he still goes with the flow until he is in front of Alexandre's office.As a matter of fact, the prosecutor is un
The Governor's Son Chapter 94"DENVER, I SWEAR IF YOU STEP OUT THE DOOR!" Angelito doesn't even want to finish what he is saying to Denver since he loves him so much, even at this point of his betrayal.He halted his footsteps as Denver looked back to Angelito. He can see the profound remorse draw in his eyes. Angelito doesn't want all of this even from the start since he knows Alfred is his friend's father."You will swear to put a bullet in my head?" his voice is cold, and the warm love he gives in every word fade in an instant. While Denver holds the papers, a muscle in his jaw twitches in pure hatred."This is why you're mute all the time. I ask you if you're involved in my father's cold case." He scoffs in the distance before raising a middle finger to Angelito. Moreover, the Don remained frozen in his position."You always know how I love you, Angel. You have changed everything I have from scratch up to this point in my life. I
The Governor’s Son Chapter 95“I EXPECTED you will go here later this afternoon. I felt something good fell on my lap when I saw a taxi dropping you by my place.”Denver is speechless in front of the prosecutor. He is quiet all the time, even with all of these foods and documents in front of his eyes. He was a little bit hurt this time because of what he did to Angelito.“This is all of a sudden, Denver. Are you sure you will handle the impact it will cause you?” Alexandre asked while looking at the other documents.He puts the recent case for Don Pablo. “I will interfere for your moment this time because this is something urgent that you need to know. This file case against Don Pablo is for slander since we cannot open the cold case of your father.”Denver looks at him sharply. “Go directly to the point,” he requested as Alexandre gave him a playful smile.“The point
The Governor’s Son Chapter 96 TOTAL SILENCE. That was the safest option for Maxine when Denver finally figured it out this time. All the mistakes of the past suddenly flash like a ray of light. She cannot move her fingers as Denver pulls out the documents supporting his claims. Even she can clearly hear him speaking continuously. Her heartbeat keeps on skipping a beat. “Ma, Don Pablo was the one behind Papa’s death….” His tears indicate the bitter truth underneath his tongue. Maxine holds him on his shoulder—crawling her hands to his fleshy cheeks. Denver notices the tips of his fingers are freezing as well as her eyes screaming for something beyond his knowledge. She hugs him tightly before heaving a profound sigh. “Denver….” “Ma…. I promised Papa to find who that to him. After all this time, Don Pablo is the one behind it. I will get what he fought before with Alexandre’s help—“ Maxine interrupted him, and her
The Governor’s Son Chapter 97LATER ON THE evening, Denver and Maxine flew back to Manila with the help of their two-way plane ticket. As they go out of the arrival area the rain is pouring heavily. Maxine had no belongings with her except the sling bag.Perhaps, Denver grabs his mother to the nearest convenience store so they can shelter after the rain stops.“The next flight will be at the midnight. You should go to our place in Valenzuela—““Mom, can you just leave for a day at your work?” Maxine whines in the displeasure of his idea. She holds her shoulder a she looks at Denver’s worried face.“Denver, I cannot. Also, we are already here at the airport. I will wait for the next flight. I also want to thank you for the courage you gave to me at Don Pablo’s office. For sure, Alfred is so proud of you because we will have a brave engineer.”Her words lift up his disap
The Governor’s Son Chapter 98THE MORNING SHINES, Denver prepares to go to school. He is feeling empty inside even the cold shower drops tingle his spine. He can only feel numbness in his muscles.Tears blended in the clear water, even how much he eradicated what happened last night with Angelito. His face seems fine, and the redness gradually turns to its normal skin colour.However, the hole inside his chest cannot make him feel a thing. After taking a shower, he has no appetite for eating his breakfast. Bread with jam, two whole eggs and a cup of hot coffee—remind him of the sweet taste of their love affair.When buttoning his uniform, he cannot understand his current mood. He just wants to sleep the whole day until he cannot feel the pain.Fuck you Angelito. He keeps on swearing in his mind, but Denver’s heart always screams how he loves him. He grabs his bag and calls a nearby taxi.Denver goes inside as

However, In this Friday afternoon, he needs to go to Attorney Barbie’s office.Angelito tries to cope up with the loneliness again.

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
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 bouquet of roses caught his attention when he closed the door.“Congratulations,” Denver proudly congratulates him for graduating as a cum laude in law.

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.

He can still feel the weight of yesterday.Don Pedro and Donya Lilia need to go back to Spain two days from now.

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.

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,
