RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR ACCUSED OF A HEINOUS CRIME
Hailey raised up her neck like one who was proud of what she was yet to say. "Well, you and I created magic together. Believe it or not, I was the actual reason why you became this big again. So, we are a team, and you should come back to your team. We’re good together, and I admit that I may not have treated you so well in the past but I was just trying to inspire you to do better. And look at you now, you’re doing great. I deserve some credit for that, not to be tossed aside like I mean nothing when we both know that you love me.""With the way you raised up your eyebrows before speaking, one would think you were about to say something wise. Only to be disappointed by the stupid shit you spew over and over again. Each time you talk, I'm disappointed, when I should be used to it by now. But you want to know why I can't get accustomed to how you talk? It is because somehow you manage to sound even more stupid than you sounded a second before saying another word. Now, haven't you just
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR CCTV PROOF
The news travelled fast like wildfire, and before the day was over, a hashtag on all social media platforms was trending. It was tagged #ceocadeisarapist. It started from the young lady who had recorded the live event, and got so many shares and engagements, till it was the talk of the whole country. Cade sat in his office with a scowl on his face and was even more shocked. How did Hailey think of such a demeaning thing to do? To have run out of his office almost naked? Didn't she have any shame? And to cry about being raped? Where did that come from? He had not even touched her! Matter of fact, he was going to give the security staff an order to never let her in the company's premises again, but look at what she did. He shuddered whenever he looked into his phone. It was one post or another on Facebook, or one aggravating tweet on Twitter. It did not end at the social media platforms, the news channels had begun to circulate a video that Cade could guess was from the people who rec
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR COURT BATTLE I
Cade decided that it was time to act. He had not come out publicly to address the whole situation concerning the alleged rape that Hailey accused him of, even though his PR and marketing team thought it was wise of him to, since the trending hashtag had gone from just a hashtag, to calling for Cade's arrest. He had decided not to do any of that because he wanted to prove his innocence in court not on social media. Alex had also come out, using the whole situation for his own advantage. He even began a move against Cade, saying that he was no part of Cade's misdoings, as if anyone asked him. And was now actively campaigning to take Cade’s spo as CEO. Cade did not mind Alex's noise on the social media. He knew that Alex was always looking for something against him, and Hailey had served him that opportunity on a golden platter. Cade thought of giving her the option of coming out to the public with the truth by herself instead of fighting it out at court, but that would just be him bein
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR COURT BATTLE II
"Mr Milton was like my business hero and role model," Evan began to speak. "This won’t be a surprise to anyone listening to me. Until now, he has proved to be an impeccable business man. In fact, my fiancee who is the victim of his condemnable act asked me to partner with his company because it would do us a lot of good. And so I took her advice and sent him a proposal. But when we were at his office to sign off the paperwork, he commented on my wife's breasts. I was offended and I immediately made my displeasure known. He also spoke to her in a familiar way when they were meeting for the first time.""Did you say he commented on your fiancee's breasts?" The lawyer asked. "Yes, sir.""What were his exact words?""I can't really remember, but he said something along the lines of ‘your fiancee would be really brilliant, only if she was not showing me her breasts. I was seated right there with her so how could she have done such a thing without my notice? And she wore a modest gown sinc
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR VISIT TO THE BELLWETHERS
Hailey sat down on the recliner in her house filing her nails. She was indoors more nowadays than she was before the false accusation of rape she passed on Cade. Since the lawsuit, she had been receiving cancellations from so many social media platforms and even people on the physical level. All she could do now was hide behind the shelter of her grandfather's mansion. Her fiance had also called off their engagement, due to the fact that Hailey had been lying to him all these while. Before he called off the engagement, he made sure to get the truth from her that day."Tell me the truth, Hailey," he said while they sat in his room after the court case, "I deserve to be told the truth. I want to hear it from you. Were you really trying to seduce the man? Was all he said true?" Evan had asked.Hailey pitied the man more than she respected him. So, out of that pity she told him the truth. She sighed before she began. It was going to be a long story. "He was my husband before, while we we
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR UNPLANNED CONFESSION
Mrs Bellwether arrived at the mansion only a few minutes after Hailey called her. She met the duo sitting in silence in the living room, Hailey sipping on a glass of wine. She rushed down to the house as fast as possible."Oh, Dennis!" She feigned excitement when she got in and saw Cade. In truth, Mrs Bellwether was shaking on the inside. The reason for her fear being that she had somehow been expecting Cade to come back and get his revenge on them, and now that Hailey informed her of his presence in their house, she was almost coming apart with fear. But just like her daughter, Mrs Bellwether knew how to pull a show. "Oh, ma'am," Cade smiled and pretended that all was well just to make them more afraid. "Please join us."They probably expected him to be angry and scowling but with his calm attitude, their anxiety would be worse."You're not having some wine?" Mrs Bellwether asked, still feigning concern. Cade wondered when she began to have concern for anybody else but herself."Oh,
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR BELLWETHERS ARRESTED
It was a week now since Cade's visit to Papa's mansion, and each time he remembered Mrs Bellwether's confession, he fumed with anger. He thought long and hard about what Hailey said to him and could understand her pain to an extent but it was no excuse to mistreat him the way they had done. But what he could not understand was why they had kept silent about Papa's will and even changed it to what they wanted. For the first time in a long while, Cade did not know what to do. He was torn between letting the Bellwethers be, or taking his revenge on them, especially for depriving him of his full privilege. He wanted to leave them alone because he could understand from Hailey's point of view, but he wanted to teach them a lesson for being so corrupt, so wicked. He wanted to get his revenge on them for being treated like trash. He made up his mind. He would get to the root of this. He would find Barnes and only when he found him would he carry out any action he had in mind for the Bellwethe
RETURN OF THE FORGETFUL HEIR NEW TROUBLE
Cade was determined to find to find Barnes. From what he could draw from Hailey and her mother's confession, Barnes had forsaken the mother and daughter. And since they kept insisting that he was the mastermind behind the plan to chase him out of the mansion and deprive him of his right, he just had to find the man and bring him down here. But Cade also had a new matter at hand that was more important than his revenge on the Bellwethers. A rival company was rising up against him. Far away in a different country where the Milton Conglomerate had one of its biggest branches, a new company had been opened and was gaining so much recognition and battling with the branch for contracts, investors and media attention. While this was fine and poised no threat to the Milton Conglomerate, Cade could tell from the many similar ventures that the new company had, that it was not a healthy competition for them. The company was trying to imitate the Milton Conglomerate’s business strategies. Also,

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,
