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
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR MEETING HER EX
"Go on," Cade said. He clasped his palms under his chin as he waited for Maxwell to talk about his proposal. Maxwell brought a file from his briefcase, and cleared his throat before he began. "After a careful and thorough research made by myself on the merchandise of the Milton Conglomerate, I found that the Milton Conglomerate lacks in the area of food catering supplies. Given that this is an all round merchandise company, I think that the unavailability of that aspect in the company is a huge loophole that would cause a setback or missed opportunities for the company. While the Milton Conglomerate has proven to grow without the need to have this as a part of their merchandise, I can prove to you from my research that the Milton Conglomerate has missed a few, if not more opportunities, for this. Given the influence and brand name, which includes integrity, trust, worthiness and good customer service, that the company has gotten for itself, I'm very sure that people will not hesitat
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR BIRTHDAY SPEECH
Raegan cursed underneath her breath and Cade turned to face her. "What's wrong, baby?" Cade asked. He looked at where she was looking, but did not see why Raegan should shout. It was just her father greeting people and he did not see anything that warranted Reagan's cursing. "Nothing, I just felt a slight pain in my back," Raegan lied. Cade did not believe her. How did a slight pain cause one to say cuss words, while looking in a particular direction? "Really?" He asked. Raegan looked at him and sighed. She did not want to tell him that she had just seen her ex boyfriend exchanging pleasantries with her father at her own birthday party where her father was supposed to be courteous enough not to invite an ex that cheated on her. She decided to come up with a better lie. She didn’t want to tell Cade about Maxwell, she just wanted to forget that Maxwell even exists. "I just saw my dad welcome more friends. It's upsetting because this is supposed to be about me, but nobody has wish
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR SUSPICIOUS OF MAXWELL
They both stayed at the party for a few more minutes before leaving to avoid looking rude. Then they spent the rest of the evening in her room. When Cade arrived at work, he realised that he had forgotten to inform Raegan of the man's business proposal of a partnership while he was at the party with her. Though, in his defence, it was her birthday so it wasn't appropriate for him to be bringing up business talk. He looked at the proposal brought by Maxwell once again, impressed at what he saw after his project team had done some research and submitted their analysis. He closed the file and called for his secretary, using the landline on his table. "Yes, sir?" The secretary answered. "Contact Mr Maxwell Jordan, requesting his audience. I need to be in a meeting with him by tomorrow.""Yes, sir, but your schedule for tomorrow is quite busy, as you have a meeting with the Ericssons tomorrow, concerning the new project." His secretary reminded."That will take most of the morning hours
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR MAXWELL'S PLAN TO WOO
The Ericssons were a big company that dealt on different merchandise themselves, only that they were a lot smaller than the Milton Conglomerate. It was because they wanted to expand their domain that they decided to partner with the Milton Conglomerate. However, they were already partners with Maxwell Jordan in the field of technology. Now, Maxwell made a big part of that company because of his political influence on the company's technology department. If he were not just a partner, the CEO of the Ericsson Companies would have made him a board member. But being just a partner did not limit him to only the technology department of the company, since the CEO of that company had a special liking to him. It was safe to say that the CEO, being a woman, admired and in fact lusted after Maxwell because of his brilliance and cleverness. Now, while Maxwell drove in his Mercedes C-Class, he thought of how he could manipulate the obvious and steaming attraction that the CEO of the Ericsson Com
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR DINNER AND A NIGHT TOGETHER
They got to a restaurant that dealt mainly with wines and Spanish food. Thankfully, Laurel was impressed by the place. It did not take too much to woo her. Maxwell was grateful for that. Now, all he needed to do was order some good wine and lace his ‘idea’ with the sweetest charm he could muster. He really was not enjoying this as much as he thought he would. "What would you like to order?" Maxwell asked her after they had secured a spot to sit in the restaurant. The restaurant was really beautiful. Its scape was set to be dim and lit by lights that seemed to be dying out. It was a romantic ambience, and Maxwell liked that he made this choice. It would pass his message – even though it was fake and he did not mean it – to Laurel quite easily. Laurel looked at the menu once again. The prices of the wines in the menu were ridiculously high, same as the food. It was not that she could not afford them, it only seemed to put her off because she was not one to waste her hard earned resour

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,
