NEXPECTEDLY, A MILLIONAIRE COMES HOME TO SEE HIS PARENTS IN THE RAIN — HIS NEXT MOVE STUNNED EVERYONE.
The private jet touched down on Santiago’s runway like a whisper as Sebastián Ferrer stepped out, sunglasses hiding an expression carved by years of discipline. At forty-five, he was the boy from southern Chile who had risen to become an international magnate, with offices across Hong Kong, New York, and London. Steel, marble, and silence—those were the ingredients of his life. Success had become his armor. Loneliness, a price he paid without complaint.
He hadn’t seen his parents, Manuel and Carmen, in six long years. Their rare phone calls always ended the same way:
“We’re fine, son.”
And he always knew they weren’t.
Driven by guilt, he sent half a million dollars to his cousin Javier with simple instructions:
“Build them the best house in the village. Make sure they have everything they need.”
One morning, after a massive deal fell through, Sebastián suddenly had forty-eight rare free hours. From his office window, the snow-covered Andes stirred something inside him—nostalgia disguised as restlessness. On impulse, he grabbed the keys to his matte-black G-Wagon, told no one, and headed south toward the past he had convinced himself he no longer needed.
As the highway narrowed into winding rural roads, the skies turned heavy and dark. Then came the rain—relentless, cold, familiar. The kind he’d sworn he would never feel again. He almost felt smug imagining his parents warm inside the new home he’d paid for, safe from storms like this.
But when he arrived in the village, the reality punched him in the chest.
The houses were worn, the streets muddy, and nothing resembled the progress he had imagined. He turned onto his childhood street, expecting to see a modern home shining among the old ones.
There was no new house.
Only the same fragile wooden home collapsing under the weight of time and rain.
And then he saw them.
His parents stood outside in the downpour—not by choice, but because they had been forced out. Their soaked furniture lay scattered around them: a velvet couch drenched, cardboard boxes splitting apart, a TV wrapped in torn plastic. Two men changed the lock on their door as if sealing away decades of memories.
Sebastián stopped the car, numb. His mother tried to cover the boxes with trembling hands. His father stood rigid, staring at the door, rain mixing with the humiliation he refused to show.
“Papá! Mamá!” Sebastián yelled, stepping into the storm without a coat.
They turned. But instead of relief… they looked ashamed.
“Sebastián,” his father whispered. “You shouldn’t be here. It’s not a good time.”
“Not a good time?” His voice cracked with fury. “What’s happening?”
One of the bank agents lifted a document calmly.
“We’re from the bank. The property has been repossessed due to unpaid paperwork.”
“This house was paid off forty years ago!” Sebastián snapped.
He looked at his parents, voice shaking.
“What about the money I sent? The half million? The new house? Where is Javier?”
At that name, his mother’s tears flowed harder. His father lowered his gaze.
“There is no new house,” Manuel said quietly. “And no money. Javier told us to sign papers—said they were for building permits. But the construction never started. Then letters from the bank came. He said it was a mistake… that he’d fix it. We didn’t want to bother you, son. You were always so busy.”
The truth hit Sebastián like a blow. His cousin had stolen everything. His own distance had let it happen.
Standing there in the rain, watching his parents lose the home that held their entire history, something inside him broke.
What Sebastián did next would change that village forever.
