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.

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

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 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 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 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.

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.
