RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR BOARD ROOM HUMILIATION
Carlson's days at work were his best days and his life got better. Because of his excellent service, Case doubled his normal Internship wage. Now he was also Cade's most trusted staff, he got various benefits that ordinary staff could not get. He got things like tips from Cade, being allowed to more board meetings and getting first hand information of what was going to happen in the company before it was communicated to other staff. It was during one of these days as Carlson went about his duties that he came across William at the company one day. William still hadn't been promoted in his own internship but he was to attend a board meeting that day with his father which was why he was on the executive floor. The board had requested William's presence to evaluate his working schedule. The two men stopped before each other, William spoke first."Well, if it isn't the ‘most intelligent’ Carlson," William said, coming to a halt in his steps."How is it going, William?" Carlson asked, t
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR LEIGHTON AND CARLSON'S FRIENDSHIP
Cade let William leave the boardroom but decided that he would have a talk with his son later for exhibiting such rude behaviour. What was worse was that William had even walked out thereby also disrespecting the board members when he had been invited to sit in the board meeting as an evaluation of his preparation to take over the company. The board members would no longer see him as capable, and Cade also didn’t think William was ready anymore. So his plan to hand over the company after William’s graduation would not work. William would have to wait for a few more years before taking over as CEO of Milton Conglomerate.“I apologise on his behalf, Carlson. I don’t know what got into him.” Cade said and Carlson smiled.How can the owner of the company be so polite and friendly, yet William who had not yet inherited the company behaved so proudly? “It’s okay, sir.”“How about I invite you to dinner to make up for his behaviour. My wife would like to meet you so we can use this opportun
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR THE TALK BEFORE DINNER
Carlson was invited to dinner at the Milton residence a week later when Raegan returned from her business trip. She had been in charge of organising a huge fashion show which was why she travelled. Raegan had also inherited the love that Cade had for his proficient worker, Carlson, because of how Cade always praised the young man. She always listened with an unadulterated attention whenever Cade talked about this young man who had been the top scorer for their scholarship scheme and managed to maintain that streak throughout his three years at College. Carlson would be in his final year of College soon and if he could keep his academic excellence for one more year, he would graduate top of his class. She wanted to see this young man for herself and understand why her husband took so much liking to him. She also noticed that her son scowled each time Cade mentioned Carlson's name, which was another reason why she wanted to meet the young man. She wanted to understand why Cade loved hi
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR DINNER TIME
Carlson finally arrived at the Milton estate. He put on his best casual outfit– the most expensive denim he had, and a black t-shirt that clung slightly to his well toned muscular body. He wanted to impress, but did not want to seem desperate to make an impression. His best clothes would probably still look like rags compared to their wealth but he refused to let that get to him. He knew Cade and his wife would never mock him for his financial status. He had made sure to get a haircut too, one that accentuated the chiselled outline of his handsome face. He did not know why he had been anxious, but the sight of Raegan's warm smile to welcome him made him feel like he was at home."Welcome, my dear," she said, standing up when the maid who had opened the door for Carlson brought him to her in the living room. "You must be Carlson." "Oh, yes ma'am." Carlson smiled and nodded curtly. She walked towards him and kissed him on both cheeks. As she held him, she had a weird feeling, but dec
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR DINNER IS DONE
“Like I said, Ma’am, she and I are just friends. Williams doesn’t even like her at all, but just because there may be something between us eventually, he’s against it.” Carlson explained calmly.“Leighton belongs to me. You seem so sure that I don’t have feelings for her. We grew up together, you just came into the picture so mind your damn business!” William snapped.“Wait. You’re both talking about Leighton? When did you start liking her, William, isn’t she your best friend?"Yes, she was. Until she decided to betray me." William said aloud. Carlson ignored him. If Raegan had ignored him just like Carlson had done, then it would have been a perfect dinner. "Betray you? What do you mean by that? Were you guys together? Did you tell her you liked her?" Raegan asked. "No, I haven’t discussed that with her. But she told me she liked me. And I was beginning to come around to liking her as well. Now Carlson wants to snatch her from me." Carlson could no longer ignore William. "Snatch
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR CANCER
The days went by smoothly for everyone. Carlson was, as usual, diligent in his work. William was still making trouble to prevent Carlson and Leighton from getting close to each other but his plans were backfiring. Leighton never listened while William complained and the more he tried to separate them, the more Carlson and Leighton got closer.William decided to confess that he likes her now and would like to date her."Leighton, you said you like me back then right? Well I like you too. I've just been too shy to confess my feelings to you. But now I want you to know the truth." William said to her. He had invited her out for dinner. He booked the best restaurant in the city, paid people to come play the violin for her and even paid for an expensive flower arrangement. She stared at him for several seconds before replying."William, I know you more than anyone else in this world even your parents because we're best friends. You don't have feelings for me. You just don't want me to hav
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR 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,
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR 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.

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
