RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR TAKEN AWAY
Macaulay found Raegan tied to a chair in the fourth room that he checked. He could see that she had been crying and wondered if Maxwell tortured her. "Did he touch you?" Macaulay asked as he untied her. She was still crying and whimpering so she could not speak at that moment. She was relieved to be rescued especially when she knew that Maxwell had planned to hurt her for denying his request. Macaulay was a bit confused by her response, so he assumed that Maxwell had indeed hurt her."What did he do to you?" He asked again. "I’m fine, don’t worry about me. I’m just relieved to see your face here because it means I’m safe now. He just slapped me but it doesn’t hurt so much now that I know I’ve been found." Raegan said, still crying. "Did he do anything else?" Macaulay asked with clenched fists.He wanted to know if Maxwell had sexually assaulted her but he didn’t know how to ask her that directly. But she understood what he was trying to ask even if he didn’t ask the question direct
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR VISITING HER MAN
Raegan walked up to Macaulay as they left the Senator's quiet compound. "Which of the hospitals was Cade taken to?" She asked, moving slowly and making Macaulay slow his steps to her pace. "We should go there," she continued, and Macaulay nodded in agreement. Then he excused her and went over to the president coming from behind them. "Me and Raegan will be going to see Cade at the hospital," he said, seeking the president's permission to let Raegan go visit Cade at the hospital. The president might insist that Raegan go home with him to eat, and change before going to the hospital, which was why Macaulay was asking first. Though he knew that Raegan would likely not agree to waiting much longer. She was obviously worried about Cade and until she sees him with her oen two eyes, she was not likely to stop worrying."That's fine," the president said. He was gloomy, and Macaulay could tell that it was from the just concluded incident with Maxwell and the Senator that made him so moody.
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR GUILTY CONSCIENCE ABSOLVED
Cade and Raegan continued to talk as Macaulay left. Raegan wanted to be as close to him as possible, so she got on the bed with him and held him close. She was so relieved that he was alive.“Have you had anything to eat?” He asked her.“Don’t worry about me, I’m fine,”She replied.“There’s no way for me not to worry about you. You were kidnapped. You need to recuperate too.”“As long as you’re okay, I’m fine. Like I said, Macaulay got me out before he could so any lasting damage. I didn’t want to go back home to change and eat when you were here.” She said to him and he sighed.“Call Gale and have him arrange a meal for the both of us. Meanwhile, this VIP room has a shower. You can use it. I’ll tell him to also come with a change of clothes for you. I know you won’t leave even if I insist so this is a compromise.” He said and she smiled.“Even when you’re on a hospital bed, you’re still thinking of my well being. I love you, Cade.”“You’re the one who’s here when you should be restin
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR HIT MAN
For a few months after that, his life was peaceful and devoid of any drama. He even moved to a calmer part of the city and bought a small one story house for the purpose of relaxation. He usually only went there during the weekends with Raegan where they would cook together and have dinner, then watch movies, or do some other activities together. The house was just for them to bond and be together without disturbance or distractions. Only a matter of time before Alex and his mother would begin to reveal their plans again. His father's mistress, Cassandra and her son, Alex, harboured their dark plans underneath their silence. They had been silent for a while now, but it was only because they had things up their sleeves. Cassandra, who was the master of evil plots, while her son only waited to be told what to do made new plans. As usual, this whole plot was caused by the same old reasons – Cassandra's hate for Cade and his mother, and Alex's resentment of Cade's position as the CEO to
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR CATCHING THE ASSASSIN
And so it happened that night that Cade's gate was locked and watched over by his security. But towards the back of the property, a part of the wall had been left unguarded because the guards left to give Cade and Raegan some privacy. The lovers had dinner on the terrace on a picnic mat spread for that purpose and danced after that. After making a toast and sharing a kiss, they got so lost in each other that they were going to make love right outside. Cade signalled the two guards patrolling close by to leave so he could have time with his woman, it was his property after all so they could make love wherever they wanted. The assassin had been watching the house from afar for days trying to find a weak spot in the security that he could exploit. When Cade and Raegan stepped inside after they were done, Cade forgot to call the patrolling guards back to their duty post so the person hired to poison his car came in through a hole in the chain link fence that he silently made using a tool
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR OTHER MEANS
Cade was woken up by the loud ringing of his phone. He disentangled from cuddling with his sweetheart, Raegan. He wondered who was calling him at this early hour. It was only just a few minutes past five in the morning. Usually, if he was going to work, he would be up by the time, but it was the weekend and the purpose of coming here with Raegan was for them to rest and sleep in. He picked up the phone and saw that it was his security staff who was calling him at such a time. He picked up. "Good morning," his deep morning voice vibrated through the phone. "Morning, sir. I'm so sorry to have disturbed your rest, but there is something here I need you to come see." The man recited as fast as he could into the phone, not wanting to waste Cade's time. Something so urgent by this time must really be urgent, Cade thought to himself. "Okay, I'm coming," he said to his staff and put off the call. As he put on his pajamas that he had taken off the previous night, he wondered what the urgen
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR CONFESSION
"Will you speak now?" Cade asked as he saw the man shaking from the fear of being tortured."I will," the man said reluctantly, even though he was visibly shaking. Cade's security staff watched with satisfaction from seeing the initially hardened man shaking like a leaf falling from a tree. "Good. Who sent you?" The man hesitated despite his initial acquiescence. "I said who sent you?" Cade bellowed again. "Mr Alex Milton." Cade was surprised. Then he mentally berated himself for being surprised at all. He should have been expecting this. But it had been months since Alex gave him any trouble, so he sort of forgot about the malicious intentions Alex had in mind. To him, Alex was so insignificant that he never felt threatened by the boy and his mother. It seems the two of them wanted him to remember them again and come after them. Instead of them being grateful that he had forgotten about them and live their lives in peace, they were trying to stir up trouble."Alex sent you here?
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR PENTHOUSE VISIT
As Cade's security staff swiftly brought out his phone to call the police to apprehend the intruder, Cade, his mind ablaze with a mix of anger and determination, went into the house. Alex's cup was full now. The thought of the confessions, from the intruder, starting from the break-in to the shocking confessions implicating Alex and Cassandra, fueled a burning need for action that needed not to be delayed, in Cade's heart. Inside the confines of his house, Cade paced with a sense of urgency. He did not need to walk as fast as he did, but his anger ran deep, and he thought that the gravity of the situation demanded decisive action. He went up to his room to change up. First, he reached for his phone again, to contact his trusted ally, Gale, to get a rundown of the activities of the company for that day, and his legal advisors to formulate a plan. The evidence against Alex and Cassandra that he had gathered so far, he decided, were enough to send them to their place of judgement. As he

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,
