RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR DEREK'S PLAN
Gale was beginning to recover. His recovery took days and he hated it. He wanted to be up and about, helping to catch the criminals that dare come against the Milton Conglomerate. He heard from Clint what Cade said about finding the owner of the Nobles Groups of Companies. He wondered how Cade found the man that easily and even arrested him. Gale had figured out from the man's rambling that day that he was the owner of the Nobles' Companies and he had planned to inform Cade of the development by himself and help him, but here he was, stuck in the hospital. Cade could no longer come to visit Gale while he was in the hospital because he got very busy with all the matters at hand but Gale didn’t hold a grudge against Cade. He knew how busy his boss was. Besides, Cade called everyday and insisted on speaking to Gale through video call to see with his own eyes that Gale was alive and recovering. When Gale had finally recovered enough to be discharged, he and Clint began planning their dep
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR MINI INTERROGATION
Cade put Derek in the same cell as his family members. Putting them in the same place was strategic. He wanted them to bicker, blame themselves and maybe even try to kill each other. While arguing, they were more likely to spill more secrets about their actions and that would serve as more evidence against them. If they tried to actually kill each other, they would be charged for violence by the officers. But first, he was going to take Barnes to the board room for a meeting before sending the matter to court. He would have Barnes tell the board members why he fabricated a lawsuit so just in case there was any of them who still doubted his innocence, it would be reaffirmed. He knew that some of them were still finding a way to get him out as CEO of the company because they felt he was too young to lead them when they had more age and experience.Cade dismissed Gale and Clint from their duties, giving each a week off from work for their services in finding the owners of the Nobles' Com
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR BARNES' PLAN
Cade took Barnes along to work. Soon, they got to the company. Cade's driver opened the door for the two men and they got down. It was evident in his face, how awestruck Barnes was by the magnificent building that laid out in front of him. So this was the Milton Conglomerate? It looked like the building would come falling on his face when he looked up at the height and expanse of the building. He quickly composed himself, however, to avoid giving Cade the satisfaction of his admiration. He had only seen the building on television, seeing it face to face was intimidating to Barnes because though his father had been a millionaire, he had never enjoyed this level of wealth. He was jealous of Cade’s wealth and felt like Cade owed them for taking him in when he lost his memory. That excuse made him justify all he was doing. Cade on his part had seen Barnes' unhidden surprise before he could even cover it up. This made him swell with pride within himself to see one of the people who had bel
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR FAILED ESCAPE ATTEMPT
Cade did not want to take matters into his hands, so he called the police. In a matter of minutes, the sounds of sirens coming from the police cars filled the air. Soon they were with Cade. An officer came to talk with Cade while a few others inspected the area. Barnes had still not woken up. Cade stood outside his car with the police officers, one of whom was now interrogating him. "He just brought a gun and shot at the driver before aiming at me. Then I punched him on the head before he could shoot at me, which is why he's passed out now." Cade narrated to the police officer interrogating him. The man looked into the car again for the fifth time. He could see the gun held lightly in the unconscious Barnes' hand. He nodded and wrote something on a note. “I’ve taken out all the bullets. The gun is harmless.” Cade said to the officer as the officer looked at the gun again and the man nodded before speaking."Reggie!" The staunch faced police officer called. Another police officer ans
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR BAD NEWS
Cade got a call from the police about the successful operation of finding the Bellwethers. "Mr Milton," the voice began, "we have found the suspects you declared wanted.""Thank you," Cade said and put off the call. He left what he was doing at the moment and went to get ready to be at the police station. Before leaving, Cade called on Gale to oversee the activities going on in the company. Cade got to the police station at the late hours of the morning. He asked to see the Bellwethers and he was given an audience with them individually. He first met with Hailey. "I had to admit, your plan was a good plan." Cade began. He was sitting on a table, his chair opposite hers, in a dark room with just the both of them alone. Hailey had looked at him as she walked in, hate in her eyes. She sat on the seat opposite Cade. "If Barnes succeeded in killing me and you all succeeded in escaping, there would be no one to come after you the way I would have done and by now maybe you all would hav
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR AT THE HOSPITAL WITH MUM
As the call went off. Cassandra looked at her son, waiting for a word. Alex gave her the news. "It's been done." He said to his mother. She nodded in satisfaction. "So we can proceed to the next plan?" "Yes, we can. He must be thrown off guard by now." "And we can drink to his downfall now.”"Of course! I'll get the drink!" Alex said excitedly. He went to the mini bar just before the dining room and picked up a glass of champagne and flutes for his mother and himself. It was time to celebrate. He poured out the drink in both glasses and they raised up their glasses to a toast. "Here's to being clever," Alex said. "And here's to what is to come," Cassandra said and they drank up happily. After they set down their drinks, Cassandra had a question for her child. "What if Cade finds out?" This put their moment of glory to rest for a while. Alex knew, and so did his mother, that Cade was a clever person. He was almost too clever for them and they knew that when he set his mind to s
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR THEY REJECTED MERCY
She waited till she had swallowed every bite of food in her mouth before answering Cade's question. "A trailer collided with my car." She answered simply. "A trailer? That's crazy." "Yeah." "I'm sure the trailer driver and whoever was with him did not sustain any injuries as you did," Cade said, though it was partly a question. It may seem cruel to others that he wished the driver was as hurt as his mother but he couldn’t help thinking that way. It would be unfair if the person that almost killed his mum just escaped like that with no complications after almost taking her from Cade. "I don't know if it did, but after the trailer hit my car, I lost control of my steering and the next thing I knew was that I woke up in a hospital at night." "Damn." "Yeah. You know, I think it was just some reckless driver or a brake situation. You know how these people who drive trailers can drive funny sometimes," She chuckled weakly at her joke. Cade smiled. He thought it was a case of rec
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR DELAYED CASE
On the day of the court hearing, Cade was present at the court with his lawyer. Raegan had asked to tag along, but he did not want her here. He wanted to handle his business alone but she wanted to be there as emotional support and to watch the people that came after him finally get punished. The Bellwethers were present at the court, too. They had with them a lawyer provided to them, who would defend them. The people in the court were all seated and waiting for the judge. When the judge came in, the magistrate announced his presence by ordering the court to stand. It was after the judge took his seat that the court followed suit."Mr Milton." the magistrate called on Cade and his lawyer stood up. Then he called on the Bellwethers and their own lawyer stood up. "Prosecution, you may begin" the judge called again and Cade's lawyer moved to the front of the courtroom to begin his argument. He began his speech by giving a brief narration of the case from Cade's own point of view. Then

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,
