RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR AUTOPSY RESULT
Just as Cade had expected, Gale was furious when he learnt that Cade had spent the night at his mother’s place. They still weren’t sure if Alex and his mother had spies among the Milton mansion’s staff. Gale was still in the process of vetting them all which was why Cade always had to come disguised even for a brief meeting with his mother. And spending the night with her was dangerous, it would be very suspicious for a delivery guy to stay over and not leave till the next morning. But they thought of a solution. Cade’s mother had to pretend like he was sick and so she cared for him throughout the night instead of sending him home where he lived alone. With his blonde disguise, no one would ever guess that it was really her son and not a delivery person. Gale had told him the exact date that Alex was supposed to be announced CEO. First, Alex would be rounding up his training very soon, and before the board would proceed to make him the CEO, their final condition was that he must pass
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR CAMERA SET
It was Cade's third week since his return now. His work outs had begun to pay off little by little. He could now lift the weights without feeling as much pain in his joints as he used to feel. His martial arts training has also been going well so far. Since Cade learnt how to interact with his instructor, it had been going pretty well for him. He took the training seriously and dedicated two hours after his classes every day to practicing what he learnt. Now, he was excellent at the little he knew, and his instructor was proud of him. Even though Ralph Park would never say anything more than 'good job' to Cade, he was really impressed at his student's progress. Gale on his own part, was occupied with so much work than he had been since Cade's arrival. The board had met a few times this week to deliberate on when to put Alex to the test, and had concluded it would be on the Thursday of the following week. This information, Gale had loyally relayed to Cade. Once the board members were
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR INSTALLATION
Cade's camera set finally arrived, as well as the electric cake mixer that he ordered for his mother. The camera came with a full kit, and all they had to do was figure out a way to hire a technician to set it up without anyone getting suspicious. The technology of the camera was set up such that it could be connected to a computer of the person who intended to use it for monitoring an event or a place so viewing would not be a problem for Cade as long as it’s set up properly the first time.Gale was off for the weekend, so Cade did not bother asking him to come get the camera set. He would just send it to Gale through the publishing company, and they’ll get a good technician who would install and connect the cameras on Monday. He only hoped the installation would not take more than three days. If it did, he would not be able to witness Alex's presentation and the point of his purchase would be defeated. It was supposed to take less than an hour to set everything up, but with the cu
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR LATE COMER
The day for Alex to present all that he had learnt in the past three years to the board had come. The board members sat in the boardroom, unaware of the cameras taking record of all they were doing, while they waited for Alex's arrival. They had gotten accustomed to his style of coming late to any meeting he had with the board. In an hour or so, he would be with them so they conversed among themselves. They had scheduled the meeting to take place by 10am that day, but it was already a few minutes past ten and Alex was not in sight. Cade’s mother was present as well since she was the current CEO and Alex was vying for her position.Cade on his own part got busy while waiting for Alex as he watched the activities from his computer. He went through a few records before Alex came. It was Alex's voice that drew Cade's attention to his arrival. He left the records and focused on his computer. Cade could see all the eleven board members, including Gale and his father. He could also see that
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR PRESENTATION
“Let me get back to my presentation. There’s no need for words to be exchanged.” Alex said to try and keep the peace. He didn’t want his mother to be kicked out because rightfully, she shouldn’t be there.“ As I was saying, I, Alex Milton, am set to take the role of CEO. But as it is with every noble role, one must prove his worth and worthiness of assuming the role. It is in this bid that I came to accept the order given to me by the board to undergo a three year business training in order that my interests are aligned with that of the company. And I know that it was a very noble thing to do. Which is why I have come to this assembly to prove my worth to you." He paused and looked around. The board members looked on at Alex, and his mother kept nodding as he talked. She even started recording a video, to which Cade rolled his eyes. Cade rolled his eyes even more at Alex's fake speech. Did official presentations like this even require that much talking that had no relation to what wa
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR BOARD HASSLES
The next day, the board members assembled in the boardroom again. Their purpose of convening was to deliberate on whether to make Alex the CEO or not. It was a hard decision to make, because they had seen just the previous day that Alex did not learn anything from the training he was supposed to do and was not fit to be the CEO, but they also knew that he had done his own part of the deal and it will be unjust to not give him the position. Also, they knew that Alex and his mother would make trouble again if Alex was not given the position. As it is with meetings, arguments ensued between the members before a final decision was made. Cade's father was present at the meeting, but that did not stop the other board members from saying exactly how they felt about Alex's presentation. "It was a show of stupidity if you ask me." The man who had left the meeting angrily the previous day spoke to the agreement of others. "A summary for a presentation? If he had even summarized everything, th
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR NO OTHER CHOICE
For Mr Sean, the deed had already been done. They had already asked Alex to undergo a training which he did, and make a presentation, which he had just done. It did not matter to him whether or not it was badly done, all he knew was that it was done, and the next step should be taken. He also did not want any more lawsuits, because Alex could be that crazy. And he knew that if he supported Alex now, when Alex became CEO, he would be on Alex’s good side. He didn’t want his position on the board of the conglomerate to be jeopardised. The others were willing to take that risk, but he wasn’t."I don't know, Sean, what do you think he should do? Take the company into more mud than it already is? Alex will ruin us. You were here, same as I was, his presentation was severely flawed." Mr Culkin returned. Sean shook his head and smiled derisively. "Which is why I asked your opinion again. Will making another presentation prove to you that he in fact underwent the training and is fit for the j
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR STRANGER DANGER
Mackenzie Milton got home earlier than usual that day. Usually, when board meetings were held, he came back home late. But not today. Today, the board meeting had ended on a rough note and Mackenzie could not bring himself to stay back at the company for work. The other board members, he knew, would go back to work in their different departments to finish work for the day, but he just could not do so. He entered the house in the usual silent manner about him. Mackenzie was a quiet man who hardly spoke, and did so only when he found it necessary. Or that was the man he used to be before he got himself involved with Cassandra. He met an almost drunk Cassandra in the living room, sipping on alcohol straight from a bottle. "Oh, for goodness sake." He muttered under his breath. He was tired of having to come back from the office every day just to meet Cassandra drunk or in the process of getting shitfaced."Cassy, are you at it again?" He asked the woman who just took another swig from t

FINALE
When they all returned back home, Cade and Raegan had a room prepared for Rosa. This was done to subtly convince Carlson to move in with them. They didn’t even have to convince him to move in, he willingly moved in from the dorm to their mansion to be closer to his mother. William was the only one who wasn’t happy with the arrangement. He hated that there were strangers moving into his home. He refused to talk to Rosa no matter how many times she tried to be nice to him. He never spoke to Carlson, and he was also antagonistic towards his parents. Before Carlson resumed school the next monday, Cade and Ragen made a public announcement to tell the world that they had finally found their long lost son, Noah Milton. The news became viral immediately. The board members already knew Carlson through his hard work during his period of internship. They were shocked to learn that he was the true heir of the Milton Conglomerate but they were also happy that they had finally found someone worth

GETTING THE FULL STORY
Carlson was a bit self conscious when Cade and Raegan came to pick him up from his dorm room at school. They didn’t even wait for him outside, they walked directly to his door to pick him up. Everyone in school who Cade and Raegan were, the college belonged to the Milton family after all. But they were shocked or confused why the owners of the school came to pick Carlson up. The people staying on campus began to share the news on the school blog and speculations began to fly around. Some said Carlson was in trouble which was why the owners came and maybe he was going to be expelled. Some said it was because of the internship. No one would have ever guessed the real reason was because he was also a Milton.Hewas even more shocked when he realised that they would be travelling with a private jet. He had never entered one in his life. It slipped his mind that he was travelling with trillionaires, so of course they wouldn’t travel with commercial planes. The insides of the private jet loo

WILLIAM AND MILDRED
“You sound like they’re going to kidnap me or something.” He chuckled. “I thought you said they would respect my choice.”“Yes, they definitely will. If you decide to stay away from them, they will let you do that, but they will never give up on you because you’re their son. You have no idea how much your disappearance broke them. I wasn’t born during the incident back then, but I’ve witnessed several anniversaries that they held for you. Every year, on the day you were taken, Aunt Regan was always so depressed that my mother always took her out to try and cheer her up. My dad does the same for Uncle Cade. They told me that having William made them gradually stop feeling too much grief. All the love they had for you, they gave it to him. Too bad he turned out to be a selfish brat.” She said and Carlson laughed.“Isn’t he your best friend?”“I’ve officially disowned him after his childish display. How dare he demand they send you away? The next time I see him, I’ll make sure to pull hi

SLEEPOVER
Carlson was still in shock when he returned to his dorm room. He had no idea what to do and for a moment, he began to regret why he told Leighton to stay behind. Maybe if she had come with him, she would be able to keep him company at least even if she wouldn’t have a plan of action. But he had thought he needed to be alone. Now that he got his wish, the silence was just too deafening. He knew he should use the opportunity to call his mother, Rosa and ask of the situation, but he just couldn’t seem to make himself move out of the bed where he was currently lying down.He decided to try and sleep but, sleep was not forthcoming so he called his girlfriend after about an hour of trying to sleep and failing. He didn’t know what to say so he just kept quiet. Leighton was waiting for him to speak but after several seconds, she realised that he may not know what to say because of the emotional state he was in. “Hey.” She said to him.“Hi.”“I know this is a silly question to ask, but I have

THE REVELATION
“Ley, what’s wrong?” Carlson asked her with a concerned expression. Even her parents turned to her. She was speechless, she just looked at Carlson and tears began to run down her face. She didn’t speak because this announcement was coming from Raegan. But after figuring out the truth, it just made her so emotional. “Leighton, you’re scaring me. Why the sudden tears?” Her mother asked but it was Raegan that spoke. “I’m guessing she understood the point I was trying to make. Since the rest of you are clueless, I will have to spell it out. The Doctor did a DNA test when Carlson turned out to be a perfect match for you.” Now, the point she was passing had begun to sink into their heads. But before any of them could speak, Raegan continued again, this time, finishing it up. "And when the results came out, it showed that Carlson…” Her voice shook as her eyes became teary. “Carlson is our son, Cade. Carlson is Noah.” And as though she had known to arm herself with proof in the case th

CADE'S RECOVERY
Hours and hours later, after the procedure was complete, Cade opened his eyes again. The Doctor allowed only Raegan to go in to see him. When he made an attempt to sneeze, Raegan ran to his side as though to stop whatever pain his sneezing might cause him. He wasn’t strong enough to receive plenty of visitors yet. It was relieving for Raegan, as much as it was quite burdensome, given that she would have to relay the news that she had just found out about Carlson to him sooner or later and it may be too much for him to handle in his current state. Cade went back to sleep and the Doctor took Raegan aside to speak with her.“How is he, Doctor? What are his chances of recovery now?” She asked with a worried expression.“Well, from what we’ve observed, his body received the bone marrow well. We still need to keep him here for a few days to monitor him closely, but from what his results show, there might not even be a need for added chemotherapy. It seems like just the transplant will be en

PERFECT MATCH
“How? How is this possible, Doctor?” She asked as she stared at the result in her hands through her teary eyes.“I have no idea. You told me your son was lost so I was really surprised when that boy turned out to be a perfect donor match. I was reluctant to do a DNA test but I knew it was rare to have a stranger that’s unrelated to the family be such a perfect match. And my suspicion was correct. Like I said, if you still doubt it, you can run the DNA test elsewhere to determine it’s authenticity. Mr Carlson is your long lost son.” The Doctor said.“We searched for him for years, and for a while now, he has been right under my nose and I didn’t even know. What kind of mother am I?” She sobbed and the Doctor stood.He went around the table and began to console her.“Don’t blame yourself for that. Just be grateful that somehow, he found his way back to his family. I know the story of his disappearance though it happened many years ago. I was still in Medical school back then when the ne

DNA TEST RESULT
“Good day everyone.” The doctor smiled grimly. "We have been able to diagnose Mr Milton’s ailment and…”“Wait. Why is he here?” William asked, referring to Carlson. “He’s not family, neither is he related to us in any way. This is confidential information, send him out.”William seemed to have recovered from his shock earlier and of course the first person he would turn his displeasure to was Carlson. “Is that seriously what’s more important to you right now, William?” Leighton asked with a scoff. “Will you ever outgrow your selfish behaviour?”“It’s the right thing to do, but of course you don’t agree. You’ve been blinded just because you’re spreading your legs for him like a …”“Do not complete that statement. Watch your words and tone, especially when speaking to my daughter.” Gale warned sternly.“I want him out of here, now!” William snapped.“And who do you think you are to give such a command?” Leighton asked. “Only Aunty Rae can send anyone out of here, or the Doctor.

OFFICIALLY TOGETHER
It was the day of their date. After that night that William tried to make Leighton his girlfriend, he invited her out on an official date and they decided to go on a day when they were both free from internship work. They planned to spend the whole day together and decided that at the end of the day, they would discuss their next action if they would move further and officially enter a relationship or wait for some more time. Their date included going to the city’s museum to see a new artefact that Carlson was interested in. At first, he had been reluctant to add that to their plans because when he dated Jeanne, she was never interested in things like these. She always called them too ‘nerdy’ for her tastes. Jeanne had been more interested in shopping, and cinemas. But surprisingly, after getting the courage to tell her about his fascination with the museum, Leighton had smiled and agreed to go. She told him that when she was younger, her father always took her to museums. Nowadays,
