The Return
The private jet touched down on Santiago’s runway like a whisper—an elegant ghost cutting through the morning fog. Sebastián Ferrer stepped out, his expression unreadable behind the tinted sunglasses. At forty-five, he was a man who had built empires out of numbers and glass. Once a boy from southern Chile, now an international magnate with offices in Hong Kong, New York, and London.
His life was immaculate—steel, marble, and silence. His success had become his armor, and loneliness the price he paid willingly for it. He hadn’t seen his parents, Manuel and Carmen, in nearly six years. Calls were rare, short, and always ended with his mother saying, “We’re fine, son,” even when he knew it wasn’t true. To ease his guilt, he had done what he did best—throw money at the problem.
He had 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.” That morning, when a massive deal in Asia fell through, Sebastián suddenly found himself with forty-eight free hours—an anomaly in his perfectly calculated life.
From his office window, he looked out toward the snow-covered Andes and felt something strange—nostalgia, though he mistook it for boredom. He wanted to see the house he’d paid for, to see his parents living in comfort. Without telling anyone, he made an impulsive decision. No chauffeur, no assistant. He took his matte-black Mercedes G-Wagon, entered the address of his hometown into the GPS, and began driving south—toward a past he thought he’d outgrown.
