RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR MOTHER-SON BONDING
“Your room here is still untouched, even your penthouse, I made sure everything remained the way you kept them so you would be okay when you returned. Have you been there?” His mother asked.“Not yet. Gale and I don’t want anyone to know that I’m back yet. If someone suddenly starts living in my old penthouse, even with a disguise, they’ll suspect that it’s really me.”“No, I won’t accept that. My son is finally back to me. Why should you hide when they’re the ones who tried to kill you? You should show them that we’re not afraid of them. I can accept you waiting before pressing charges against them because you’re right, we need more evidence before we can send them to jail. But my son is back, I want the whole world to know it. To see that I'm no longer childless.” She said and he cupped her cheek.“I understand where you’re coming from, Mum. I know you have my best interest at heart. But you should also understand me. I’ve been away for years. I need to gather more information on al
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR HIS DEATH
Cade sat in his living room after returning to his penthouse later that night, remembering all that went on over at his mom's. She had cried when he was about to leave and though it broke his heart, he just couldn't ruin their plans by staying with her. He still felt heavy after consuming so much food at his mother's place so he couldn't sleep. Instead he decided to check out his game room. Playing alone without any rival was quite boring, but staying up and doing nothing was even more boring. He didn't have any more work left because he had gone over all the first set of documents with Gale before now. The solitude made him wish he could have stayed the night with his mother.After some attempts at actually having fun with the game, he gave up and went up into his room. He lay down on the bed and decided to watch a romcom that his mother had told him about earlier. A series she had watched and was excited about. He hoped that watching it would make him drowsy enough to sleep since he
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR DELIBERATIONS
Cade looked at the cheque again. He could not believe his eyes. But the cheque had not been cashed either, and that was why the slip was still here. Cade went through the file again, hoping to find something else that would make him understand the context of everything, but all he could see were work records. There wasn’t anything else that would be incriminating enough to be considered evidence against Alex. He could not bring himself to look at the work records properly because of how surprised he was to see the cheque. He kept the papers well arranged, and just as Gale had given it to him, and closed the envelope. The cheque had made him more interested in Mr Robert's death than he had initially been. He made a call to Gale. "Tell his wife that the company would sponsor the investigation of her husband's death. Inform the board, too." Cade said to Gale over the phone. Gale was silent, then he said yes and Cade disconnected the call. In his car on his way home, Gale wondered why
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR FOOD PACKS
Gale arrived later in the day at Cade's call. He was hours late, and apologized as soon as he met Cade. "I'm really sorry, I was quite busy at work today. You know, Mr Robert and the whole situation? I had to inform the board of your decision to sponsor the investigation but I made it seem like it was my idea so they won’t know of your return. I don’t really know who we can completely trust among them for now. I had to call in a meeting and when we convened, I told them that it would be best if we as the company sponsored the investigation since Mr Robert was a high standing worker in the Milton Conglomerate and it would look bad if we completely neglect him.""So did they agree?""Yes, after a lot of back and forths. It was really hectic, trying to convince a bunch of old men to take up the responsibility of something they were not really expecting to do. But overall, we came to an agreement. We would sponsor the investigation but only because Mr Robert was murdered on the company's
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR A PACKAGE
Cade woke up very early the next day. He had gotten enough sleep from last night, and had a lot to do today. He sat up on his bed with his back propped up against his pillow and in his head, he began to enumerate his activities for the day. He would call Gale as soon as he came back from the gym which was his first agenda on the list, then he would have to wait for the records to be provided by Gale. That was pretty much all he had to do today and tomorrow and the next days to come till he was done looking into the records, then all he would be doing is regaining his physique. If any information about Mr Robert's death came up, he would look into that, also. He yawned and stretched himself again on the bed before letting out a loud sigh. For some reason, he was hungry despite all the food he consumed the previous night. But he did not want to eat anything till he was done with his exercises today. He wanted to start a more strict exercise routine so he would be able to build up bulk
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR EMPLOYEE RECORDS
He ate slowly now, trying to force the food down his throat because though he was still hungry, his appetite was messed up by his suspicions. His anxiety and curiosity had almost killed his hunger successfully. But he remembered that he had not eaten as much as he needed to so he kept eating. A rigorous workout routine also meant proper diet or he would only harm himself. He needed to be well fed to be physically fit. So he ate, and with a little struggle, he finished the food. The second he took the last bite out of his food, he grabbed the package and went to sit in the living room. He did not want to go back to his room, and to look at this mysterious package in there just in case. He was probably just being paranoid, but after being almost killed by his half brother and living a different life for years, he had reasons to be paranoid. He hurriedly tore open the package. He was impatient with the thing but it was sealed so tightly, like it contained a very big secret. But when h
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR SUGAR MUMMY JOKES
It was the end of the week and Cade was almost done looking into the records that Gale brought from the company. The file was large, but not as enormous as he had expected since Milton Conglomerate had a lot of employees. Gale had gone through the trouble of editing the files to include only the most important details so it wouldn’t be too bulky. It took him the last three days of the week to finish looking into them all. He found some loopholes, but they were mainly just due to laxity and carelessness. In most of the departments' records, he found that the staff were quite underpaid and he attributed that to either the loss of money due to the lawsuits in the past or negligence on the part of the human resource manager. While the pay was still quite high, he could see that it reduced as the years passed. He would have to do something about that. There was one thing he was known for when he was CEO, in his time, employees in Milton were paid very well. As long as you did your work,
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR BONDING WITH MUM
"What do you mean by that? They have children your age too and those children have friends, and they will be allowed to come with them. I don’t need a visual of you with any of my friends, that’s gross." She wrinkled her nose in disgust and Cade laughed. "I'm just teasing you mum, relax. Besides, I’m not looking for a wife, at least now yet. Not after what happened with Hailey. I want to take my place as the CEO of the Milton Conglomerate first, and maybe that will come in later.""Maybe? Do you want to die alone?""Mom? Can we not talk about this now? Besides, this is a very tasty meal you made here, you’ve suddenly forgotten about table manners. You always scold me for talking while eating." Cade filled his mouth with food at his last words and she huffed.“Fine, I’ll drop it. But we’ll definitely discuss this later. For now, let’s watch a movie since you loved the one I recommended to you so much.”They watched another one of the romcoms that his mother seemed to love now."By the

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,
