RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR COURT BATTLE II
"Let us first address the murder charge. The prosecution contends that Mr. Alex harboured motives to harm Mr. Robert, but where is the concrete evidence linking him directly to the crime? Motives alone do not equate to guilt. Mr Cade also brought forth a witness, the man who broke into his home and whom he claims was the murderer of Mr Roberts, but have we forgotten that people lie?" He paused for dramatic effect. "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, also remember that this man has been in police custody after he was caught trespassing. What if they had paid him to lie or promised him a reduced sentence so he could slander my client? The man has no proof that he was hired by Alex. And concerning the kidnapping, I do admit that it looks bad on my client but as you can see, the family is in the midst of a feud. He was accused of heinous crimes and had all his assets frozen, he thought of taking Mr Cade’s lover just so he could get money. He had no intention to harm her, they both plann
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR COURT VICTORY; ALEX AND CASSANDRA IN JAIL
When the break was over, the Judge called everyone to order and began to address the court."Ladies and gentlemen, the jury, after careful consideration of the evidence and legal arguments presented by both the prosecution and the defence have come to a final decision, it is my solemn duty to pronounce the verdict in the case of Cade v.s Alex and Cassandra."Now, Cassandra's heart pulsated faster than normal, and she was gripped by a wave of fear and apprehension. She did not know what to expect . The lawyer they had employed to defend them had done a really good job at his arguments today, that one would think they were really innocent. But with all the evidence that Cade provided against them? She was weak with anxiety. However, Cassandra was not the only one who was sorely afraid of what was coming. Alex was, as well. The room became fraught with tension and witnessed a palpable shift as the judge continued."On the charge of murder in the first degree concerning the tragic death o
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR HIS PROPOSAL
In the week that the legal drama surrounding Cade was won, Cade decided to reach out to the president and apologize for what happened with Raegan. Cade recognized how much the gravity of strained relations with the president was, and thought it was wise to take matters into his own hands. He had not seen the president since he and Macaulay saved Raegan from Alex and his accomplices. It was not that Cade did not want to see or speak with the president or that he was afraid or had grudges against him because of the threat the president gave to him, Cade just thought it would be wise to meet him in person, when he was not busy with the legal arrangements of suing Alex and his mother to court. The president's relationship with him before the abduction of his daughter was smooth, and Cade did not want that to get ruined because of Alex. So he went, filled with a genuine desire for reconciliation and a newfound determination, seeking an audience with the president. He planned to take his re
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR WEDDING BELLS
Raegan, her eyes shimmering with emotion, gasped as Cade opened the ring box, revealing the exquisite diamond that sparkled in the garden's ambient glow. Overwhelmed with joy and love, Raegan nodded, her voice filled with a mixture of laughter and tears. "Yes, Cade, a thousand times yes!"The proposal was a surprise to Raegan. She didn't expect him to propose so soon and here of all places.The fireflies around seemed to celebrate with them as Cade gently slipped the ring onto Raegan's finger. They forgot all courtesy and kissed with reckless abandon. "Hold on. I think it's better if we keep this a secret for now. It's Gale's wedding day, he and his bride should be the center of attention. If we announce our engagement now, everyone will be more interested in us and that wouldn't be fair." Raegan said and Cade smiled.This was one of the reasons he loved her. She wasn't selfish. She was always considerate of other people's feelings."You're right. We'll make the official announcement
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR PART TWO; NOAH'S BIRTHDAY
Two years into their marriage, they found themselves on the brink of a new chapter; a chapter that would bring both joy to them – the birth of their child, Noah. Their son, Noah, was a manifestation of their love, a tiny reflection of their union. From the moment he entered their lives, their world transformed into a realm of baby giggles, sleepless nights, and boundless affection. Cade and Raegan revelled in the simple joys of parenthood, watching their son grow, learn, and discover the world around him. The first three years were a series of milestone celebrations for the family—Noah's first tooth, first steps, and the bittersweet moments of letting go as he headed off to preschool. Raegan had stopped working for her family’s company after Noah was born in order to spend more time taking care of him while he was still an infant. And now that he was being enrolled in preschool, decided to start working again. She wanted to be busy while he was away in school though she no longer wish
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR PHASE ONE OF HIS PLAN
The perfect plan came to him a few days later. Since taking the child from the house would be impossible, Grey knew that he had to take Noah from outside and the best place to do that would be from the school. Since Grey had enrolled his own daughter in Noah’s school, he already knew the school’s infrastructure and security measures so it would be easier to take Noah from there. After the Idea came to him, he began to make his plans. He didn’t really care about how his actions would impact his daughter because she wasn’t his real child. He had adopted her from an orphanage after changing his name and also getting his plastic surgery to change his face. Having a child with him made him seem less suspicious and more like an upstanding member of society. She was two years older than Noah and didn’t know she was adopted. He named her Davina and everytime she or someone else asks of her mother he would only say that her mother was dead.When he had first adopted her, all he wanted was to u
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR PHASE TWO
It took almost three weeks for Davina to get close to Noah because he wasn’t really a social kid. He preferred to keep to himself and was more interested in solving jigsaw puzzles than talking to other kids in his school. But Davina was a bubbly kid, easygoing and easy to talk to. And she had the determination in her mind that she was helping her daddy on a super secret mission so it wasn’t hard for her to become his friend. Then she told her daddy that she had done the mission and asked when she could get her new toys. “Being his friend is just part one of the plan.” Grey said to her as he personally prepared her lunchbox while she ate breakfast. “When you go to school today, give him this special lunch I made for him okay? Yours is in the pink pack and his own is brown, you said that’s his favourite colour right?” “Yes daddy.” “Good girl. Make sure no one else eats his special lunch, okay? And when you come back today, I’ll take you to buy all the toys you want.” He said and she
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR ANOTHER TRAGEDY
Raegan nearly fainted when she discovered that her son had been taken from school. She called Cade in tears and he immediately left work. Cade used all his connections to make the police issue a city wide search for Noah. But before they could set up roadblocks, Grey had already crossed to another city and went into hiding with Noah and his men. The search continued as the days passed by, Cade extended the search into other cities. Every lead they chased led to disappointment because they were only fragments of their speculations. Flyers with their child's innocent face covered the walls around the city, but the elusive truth remained hidden from Case and Raegan. They were at the police station almost every hour with no news and what made it even worse was the fact that no one had called to demand ransom for Noah yet so they didn’t even know if he was alive. Their journey took them through the darkest corners of despair. Sleepless nights were spent scanning missing persons databases

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,
