RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR INTERROGATING HIS FATHER
Cade decided it was time to carry out his second important meeting of the day. He had stalled it for far too long, and now he was determined to get it over with. He had been avoiding speaking to his father; the father and son had not spoken to each other since Cade's arrival. He had his questions ready, had his mind made up and ready for whatever outcome talking to his father would bring. It would either be fruitful or just a waste of time. Whatever it was, Cade was ready for it today and finally decided to go over to his father's house after much procrastination. Whether or not he met with Alex and Cassandra did not matter to him. He would outrightly ignore them and proceed with his mission. The walls had also been repainted. The outside looked like it had been redone. He could guess that his father did some renovation on the house. He got down from his car and went to the front door after being searched by the security at the gate. He rang the doorbell and waited for an answer. No
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR NEXT PLAN
Cade sounded so formal, and his formality made his father feel guilty for getting angry at his question. It was after all just a harmless question, and Cade was his son too. There was no problem being a curious child. Cade intentionally didn’t mention that he also wanted to know how his father was able to get such a large sum and give it so easily. He didn’t want his father to get defensive. He would investigate that one on his own later."He just wanted to purchase a building for himself. You all may not think so, but Alex has a good eye for business, if only you all would give him a chance to prove himself." Mackenzie said. Cade took note of the information and didn’t bother to argue with his father about Alex, it was useless since his father will pick Alex’s side no matter what. Alex had been given a lot of chances to prove himself, to learn to handle a big company like Milton Conglomerate properly, but he had misused them all. The boy was just too lazy."Was it from your account
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR CASSY
It was the custom of the Milton Conglomerate to hold various charity events every year. However, in the past three years, the company had been unable to host as much of these events as they used to due to the losses they accrued when Cade disappeared. Now though, that Cade was back and had restored the company's glory, there was going to be a charity event. The year before Cade's disappearance, the charity event that the company held was in honour of people who had lupus. A fundraiser was done for people in the company with the disease, and some other beneficiaries. The events usually get honoured by the presence of high profile men, influential women and important people all around the country, and it was usually a huge success because of the presence of these people. This year, Cade had decided the event would be held in honour of children with leukaemia and anaemia. All the money made would go into free medical care for as many children as the program could take.The end of the yea
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR SHE SPILLED THE BEANS
"Alex bought a penthouse instead of some old building your father was expecting him to buy. Your father was angry because of that. He hadn’t known then that Alex planned to move out of the house and he saw that expense as unnecessary, so they argued a few times." Cassandra replied with a shrug. "Oh."So his father hadn’t told him the complete truth. Alex hadn’t bought the building after all but as usual, he lavishly spent so much money on something that wasn’t related to business at all. So why was his father trying to convince him that Alex was more business oriented now? Was hs just doing that so Akex would be called back to work at Milton? And if Alex no longer purchased Mr Roberts building, then how come he wrote a cheque to Mr Roberts with the same sum? Was that cheque planted in the car as fake evidence on purpose?"Like, why would Mackenzie want my son to buy some retarded building just because Alex showed interest in it? Yes, he showed interest at first, but soon changed his
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR A SURPRISE MEETING
As soon as Cade left, his father descended the steps and grabbed Cassandra’s hand.“Are you crazy? Why didn’t you tell me he was here?” He yelled at her.“Let go of me! He asked to see me. Am I now a prisoner? Can’t I have visitors?” She yelled back and removed her hand from his hold.“Besides, I didn’t ask him to come here, he just showed up.”“He already questioned me and you just undid everything I said to him. Do you even realise that Alex is a suspect in Mr Roberts murder? Yet you just told Cade that Alex had threatened the man.”“That doesn’t mean Alex killed him! Besides, the man deserved death anyway. How dare he refuse to sell his useless property to my son.” She huffed.“If anything happens and Alex is found guilty of the crime, make sure you all count me out of it. I wish that boy was born with even half the brain Cade has. My life would be easier.” Mackenzie said and Cassandra’s anger multiplied.“How dare you compare my son to that fool?! My son is a hundred times better
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR GALE'S SECRET PLAN
Cade tried his best to stay focused for the rest of the event. He was surprised at how disorganized he had become. It was unlike him to lose his shit, especially when it had to do with a woman. He retained his sanity when Hailey, a very sexy woman, stripped naked in front of him. Yes, he had been a little surprised, if not a little turned on, he admitted, but he wasn’t rattled by the woman's body the way he was nervous now after meeting Raegan again. The last time they met, he was not so taken by her beauty because of the dire situation they had been in, and also because she looked so simple back then so she could blend in and not be noticed. If anything, he just agreed to have drinks with her because she asked, and because he wanted to be nice to someone trying to thank him for saving her life. But not today. Today, however, he could not take his eyes off the lady when her father tried to introduce her, and even when she walked away to her seat. He could see that was an exquisitely b
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR ARRANGED DINNER DATE
Gale's attempt at trying to reunite Cade and the president's daughter failed. He had written several times to the president to request a meeting with his daughter. His requests were not met, neither were his emails read. The truth of the matter was that Gale had been writing to an obsolete email without even knowing it. If only he knew about this error and channeled his requests to the right e-mail, then Cade and Raegan may have had an opportunity to meet and become friends by now at least. He gave up on his attempts. He would just have to find another way to help his boss.But the help he was seeking came to Gale on a platter of gold. The president himself reached out to Cade himself, requesting a meeting with Cade at the presidential villa. The reason the president was requesting Cade's presence at the presidential villa was to organize a dinner date for Cade and his daughter, and even though neither Cade nor Gale knew about it, Gale thought it was an excellent opportunity for Cade
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR FORGIVEN
Raegan led the way and they went to the garden. The walk to the garden was plagued with an awkward air so that Raegan began to hum a song and Cade followed suit, humming a different song and they both produced a disastrous melody together. The beginning of the date was even more awkward and disastrous than the walk had been. They got to the garden and Cade saw that as the president had said, it was decorated in the most romantic way he had seen. He wondered why the president had done this. He would ask Raegan. They sat down and settled into the environment. Cade cleared his throat. He wondered what to say. Raegan picked a shrimp from one of the plates on the table and crunched loudly on it. Cade did not know how to react to this. She also hadn’t answered his question on if she would be willing to listen to his explanation."So?" Raegan began. "Do you really have a valid reason why you stood me up that day?" She asked."I'm sorry. I totally forgot. You know my story about how I was mis

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,
