The Governor's Son Chapter 55
DON 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 57EVERY DAY Denver seems to carry something heavy on his shoulders. His tears always come at night, but Angelito is always there, wiping it away with his big thumb and ashy eyes darting whenever he wants company.He goes to their department by his professor’s instruction. Denver’s two friends have something to do right now, so he goes inside the faculty. He placed his backpack on the soft couch and then waited for someone, who called him.Denver looks in the direction where the footsteps came from. His pupils dilate, and his mouth is agape when Prosecutor Alexandre Buenavista goes to him with his neatly ironed polo with two folders in his hand.He looks so handsome—especially, he’s young at the age of twenty-seven.“Good morning, Denver.”“G-Good morning, s-sir….” the cute boy stutters when seeing his presence right now. His mind is foggy b
The Governor’s Son Chapter 58“I WILL BUY something inside the book store. I need that new version for my subject next semester,” Denver excuses himself as Angelito patiently waits for him outside the book store.The Don looks on his phone screen and then receives a message from his best friend, Dennis. His throat turned arid when he read the message.From: Dennis[Bro! Where are you?!]Angelito feels something unusual as he clicks the call button and then hears some grunting in the background. Dennis’ breathes so heavy and panting whenever he speaks.“A-Angel…. C-Come here at the rendezvous…. Right now!”Dennis cuts off the call, and he watches Denver that is inspecting the book’s date and details. His time is ticking, and he goes inside the book store and grabs his cutie pie.“Angel?”“We have no time to waste!” he responded a
The Governor’s Son Chapter 59DENVER AND ANGELITO go out from the vehicle, and they go inside the mansion of Don Pablo. The place is armed with many guards whenever the governor is inside the premises.The cute boy is still in a state of shock; even his feet walk to the door. His mind keeps on flying somewhere. Angelito holds his hand when the door opens for them.Attorney Barbie looks at them. “Don and Denver, please don’t make such ruckus inside the mansion,” she advises, and then the two go inside as the door shuts.Dennis and Sunshine are anxious whenever they are both here. Not to mention, the senator is also here right now.Jose and Andrew, with Mr Domingo, sit on the couch on the other side while Denver and Angelito are standing in a corner. Angelito cannot hold of himself.“Where’s Pápá?” he inquires, and Mr Domingo gestures to give them some champagne.&ldq
The Governor's Son Chapter 60THERE'S NO CLASS at the weekend; Angelito woke up first… feeling empty about what happened the other day. Denver seems uninterested in him again. He is not talking to him and keeps on avoiding the slightest thing to start a conversation.The three consecutive knocks on the door, Angelito strolled to it while squeezing his ashy eyes. He opens the door, and Diana greets him with a sweet smile in the morning."How are you, Don?""A little bit fine. How about you?"Diana chuckles when he responds like that. "Of course, I am fine. It seems the both of you are not talking to each other this past week. I wonder why?"Angelito looks down in the tray she is holding. He grabs it and gives a halfway smile—trying to hide the pain away. Diana closed the door slowly, avoiding Denver to wake in this early morning.The Don puts some jam on his bread and eats alone while darting his eyes to Denv
The Governor’s Son Chapter 61LATER IN THAT NIGHT, Don Angelito picked up himself and went home by himself even though Dennis and Sunshine didn’t want him to do so. Once he arrived outside the apartment, his body was a little bit tipsy, but he could still manage to walk straight.Diana greets him, and Angelito goes to him. “Where’s the key?” he straightforwardly asked for it as Diana smiled at him with her white teeth.“Good evening, Don. Unfortunately, the key is not here anymore.”Angelito feels the alcohol inside his body evaporate when realizing Denver is upstairs.“What do you mean?”Diana laughs at him. “Denver is upstairs—““H-He came home? What time?”She replies in an instant. “About three hours ago—“ Angelito rushes to the stairs, and when he is in front of the apartment door, he slowly twitches, and the
The Governor’s Son Chapter 62THE TRIAL will start soon, and the three, Angelito, Dennis and Sunshine, sat down comfortably at a mediocre distance.“This is a murder case… Oh, I cannot take to listen,” Sunshine whispered, and Dennis was a little bit apprehensive when Prosecutor Alexandre was looking at them.He looks in his left and right direction. After confirming that they’re far away from other people, Dennis speaks. “The wife of Zanjo cannot believe what happened to her husband. I don’t know if she will open her mouth in public—““Let’s talk after this,” Angelito steps on his shoes.

The Governor’s Son Chapter 63“BEFORE WE END OUR DISCUSSION, I would like to inform all of you that we will have our Christmas vacation from December twenty to January two.”They are all awe when the vacation is short. Their instructor chuckles. “Gosh, you guys! We will get ready for the second semester after the final. I want you all to do your three plates before the class starts.”All of a sudden, Denver is biting his lower lip when realizing he is being lenient about school activities.“Yes, sir!” They all respond, and their instructor waves goodbye at them.“See you all, guys! Enjoy the holidays.”Roy seems out of control, and he opens his two hands. “Fuck it! YES!” Cher goes first and jumps with their other classmates. On the other hand, Denver hugs them both and jumps in the rhythm of their happiness.“Three plates only! I will sleep all day a
