RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR PROSECUTOR
The day for the next court hearing was quick to come by. It was just two weeks away from the last court hearing. The Bellwethers were present as they were the last hearing. Cade hoped that the verdict would be passed today so he would not have to waste any more time on the case. It already took too long and he had other businesses to attend to. Yes, he wanted his revenge, but this was taking quite some time. Time that he would have spent on other more productive things. As far as he was concerned, the Bellwethers were not worth wasting time over. He walked into the court room, a few minutes late to the hearing because he had an emergency at work to attend to. He made his way to a seat at the front, just beside his lawyer. A few minutes after he had sat down, the judge came in and the proceedings began. Cross examination was over and a new process in the proceeding was to begin today, after which Cade hoped that the verdict would be passed. His lawyer went in front of the court room a
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR COURT VICTORY
"Your honor," the lawyer saluted as he began. "We have heard the prosecutor speak and now I will take up some points of his that I find disagreeable." The lawyer paused for a moment as if to gain his stance before continuing. "The defendant claimed that his client locked up the Bellwethers illegally to prevent them from fleeing the country again, as well as making way for Mr Barnes to appear before the board members of his company. Now, while all that is reasonable, am I sure the defendant knows that that was a case of limitation of one's right to movement by another? What if one of them had died while in unlawful captivity? While the client of the defendant was trying to protect his own interest as a result of the bitter vengeance that burnt in his heart, he forgot that the Bellwethers are first humans before they are to him, callous people. He should not have taken the law into his hands, that is a hate crime. I'll move on from that, now." The lawyer paused again. Cade frowned at b
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR ROMANTIC PLANS
With the Bellwethers out of the way now, Cade could focus on more important things and people in his life. Things like new partnerships and ambassadorial deals, and people like his mother and his lover, Raegan. Most especially Raegan. They had not been spending enough time together since the Bellwether case began and now that it was over, Cade was going to make time for her. She had not complained about their lack of physical closeness even though they spoke on the phone and video called each other everyday. She was being understanding and giving him space because she also understood what it meant to have a busy schedule. He was so grateful to have a woman like her. If he had still been with Hailey, she would have been nagging him and trying to manipulate him emotionally to spend time with her. A few days after the verdict from the court, Cade decided to surprise Raegan. She was patient with him and she deserved the world. He had an idea he thought she would like in mind. All he had t
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR JEALOUS EX MAXWELL
The tourist centre was a big surprise for Raegan. She had never been there, so she did not know that that was where Cade was taking her until they got there. On the way, Cade stopped some metres away from the location to blind fold Raegan. She found this little action quite funny, but she played along. After he had blindfolded her, he continued driving till they got to the place. Then he stopped right in front of the gate and removed the blindfold from her eyes. "Look," he said to her. She looked at the gate, then at the logo just above the gate. She was shocked and she squealed excitedly as she realised where they were.Cade smiled at her. "You're welcome."She could not wait to see how amazing the place would be, what beauty it had in store for her visitors. Cade and Gale had done quite a good job at preparing the place for the event of surprising Raegan. They had spoken with the owners of the centre, and with the help of Cade's money, he was able to book the place so no one else
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR NEFARIOUS PLANS
As he walked out, Maxwell remembered his relationship with Raegan. As always, it was a result of the match making from the president. Maxwell was a son of a politician, and the president thought it would be nice if his daughter was well acquainted with his friend's son. But under that guise of acquaintance, what the president really wanted was for his daughter to be romantically affiliated with his friend's son, because he thought it would help with his political career. Maxwell and Raegan's relationship had lasted for quite a long time. The duo dated themselves for a little more than three years, and broke up only the previous year, before Raegan met Cade at the graveyard that day. When Raegan and Maxwell met initially, they did not quite get along with each other. Raegan hated to see Maxwell so eager to be around her because she was used to men only wanting her so they could get close to the president, and Maxwell disliked Raegan because he thought that she thought too highly of he
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR A THREATENING MESSAGE
Maxwell spent the rest of his day afterwards, stewing in the anger that even he knew was unreasonable. He did not ever want to see Raegan with another man that was not him, even though they had been broken up for two years now. And it wasn't because he loved her, he just didn't want her to be happy when he wasn't happy or in a relationship. He was more angry at Cade than he was at Raegan. It was as though Cade had beat him to the game of being the only person Raegan was so much in love with.He knew that Cade was the owner of the Milton Conglomerate and that it would be hard to hurt Cade as much as he badly ached to do. But he wanted to hurt Raegan. As if cheating on her was not enough for him. Hurting Cade will hurt Raegan and maybe when she was heartbroken, she would run back to his arms again. As he lay on his bed, his hands behind his head, he devised a plan to carry out his malicious intentions on his unsuspecting and innocent ex-lover whose only crime was to unknowingly show he
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR APPOINTMENT BOOKED
Cade stood up and made to move. The president and his daughter followed behind him. Outside the apartment, Raegan's father insisted vehemently that Cade followed them in the presidential vehicle that was flooded with bodyguards. Cade could fight for himself and he knew he did not need so ,uch extra protection, but the president was insistent. He was coming with them, and that was final so they should just join him at once.Cade finally caved in and got in with the president and Raegan. The president always wore a bulletproof vest and now he was thinking of getting some customized for Raegan. The drive to the Milton Conglomerate took them approximately forty minutes. The first car to arrive at the company's premises was filled with bodyguards, followed by the one that housed Cade, Raegan and the president, then behind them was the final one also filled with bodyguards. The bodyguards in the first car got down and arranged themselves in a pattern before Cade, Raegan and her father cam
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR MEETING MAXWELL
The next day, Maxwell walked into the company building, smiling at the receptionist. He looked devilishly handsome in the tuxedo that he wore, so that the receptionist got hot just from looking at him. He knew he had an effect on her and she wasn’t the only one. Other women stared at him with awe or longing as he walked past them and it made him smile proudly. He knew that he was such a handsome and irresistible man, and it warmed his stomach each time he saw a woman getting all hot and flushed from just looking at him. How could Raegan resist him when he looked like this? How dare she abandon him and go with another man when so many other women wanted him? To Maxwell, she should be grateful that he even wanted her. He brought his wrist to his face to look at the time, but what he was actually doing was showing off his expensive wristwatch that was now glittering under the sunlight that casted rays through a window in the reception. "How may I help you sir?" The receptionist said. M

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,
