The Governor's Son

The Governor's Son Chapter 1   THE MOMENT when Don Angelito landed on NAIA terminal four, he knew that his life would never be the same because everything is messy since he's in the ripen age for his father's uncontrollable desires. His father is calling as he answers it right away while rolling his luggage. "Yes, Papá?" "Are you now in Manila?" he inquires, assuring he landed. Angelito sighed deeply-- releasing his dreadful voice. "Of course, I am here. The flight had an hour delay. I'm on my way to my new apartment," he responded confidently because it's the truth. "Magnifico, enjoy your stay and think a million times before you apply for Juris Doctor; you are my high hope." Don Pablo Marquez constantly reminds Angelito of his importance even though the truth is so bitter to swallow. His father gasped some air before uttering the next word, "I have another request for you—" Angelito cannot take it anymore

The Governor's Son Chapter 3   THE TRIAL begins after days of preparation. All eyes are on Denver's case. His mother and Angelito are the only ones present to witness his judgement in the lower court. They don't have any relatives here in the metro because Maxine raised him herself when his father died. Altos' family is on the other side of the court. His wife is silent with their little child. Denver can feel the pressure when sitting at the accused seat. He could feel the pressure in between his legs. He wants to urinate in his pants out of his nervousness. The judge opens the case as they discuss the facts of Denver's case. It took them half an hour before starting the trial. He finds himself lonely and scared of what will society think about him. In his early and innocent age, he must not in here. However, that badass Don threatens him so severely. The clerk stands up firm when looking at Angelito. His heart is also pumping fa

The Governor's Son Chapter 5   "YOU DID NOT dispose the cute boy, even he dumped you?" Dennis laughingly asked his best friend that quiet in a corner. Angelito is not expecting him to come in a week or two. "Yeah… if you look in his eyes—begging for mercy—" His friend cuts him off. "You're defying your scary father! Oh my goodness, I don't want to see his eyes when angry," Dennis utters in disgrace of his father's true nature. Angelito keeps on stirring the coffee while watching at his endangered bonsai. There's a wide world for him if he is not tied up in his father's filthy business. Maybe he will be going to Spain and starting a winery or coffee business. He loves to watch his plants grow well. "Maybe? In no time, inspector Medina will clean a mess or maybe father's minion to move to protect me—without a trace, I'm innocent," he pleaded as Dennis sips his coffee because it's too hot like the words coming out from his mouth.

The Governor’s Son Chapter 7   DENVER GOES HOME scared for his life. He never opens the heavy bag he carried all along… he is afraid this has a bomb inside or something scarier. The bus stopped when he requested to stopover. He runs as fast as he can to go home. It’s nighttime, and his mother is undoubtedly waiting inside. Denver opens the gate—holding his neck. His stomach is twisting when he remembers how did Angelito puts the gun inside his mouth. He is crying when going inside their home. Maxine halted her footsteps when seeing him crying at the door. She is holding a plate of rice for their dinner—her excitement to see her only son quickly changes into despair. “Son!” she screams and puts the plate on the table. Denver’s ailing knees make him fall on the floor in extreme trauma and terror. “Mama! Mama, let’s leave this place!” he is panicking when saying those words. Maxine closed the door, and his son was so pale—like a bloo

The Governor's Son Chapter 9   "SO…. DO YOU have any plans this coming afternoon?" Sunshine inquires as they're walking past the road inside the University of the Philippines, Diliman campus.  Angelito sighed. "Let's go at a bar? I want to drink—"  "You must not, don't you remember; you have a summon to deal with maybe tomorrow or the other day," Dennis reminds his friend, but he is silently walking with his papers.  Angelito is uneasy; thus, he doesn't want to show it to his friend. Sunshine smiles at him when she stops in his front. "Come on, I will support you, but we need to drink moderately because like Dennis said… that brat don't want to let you go," she teases, and he blushes.  Don Angelito smiles too wh
