- [ ] I never believed in what made you can break you until this day. Once upon a time, there was a man called Henry Veliz, who was born into an average family and brought up in a small town in Porto Rico called Bayamón. Henry was born into a family that were known for making crafts and farming, he was the 3nd child of the family, consisting of three boys and two girls. Life was good but not as easy as it seems for the children were able to graduate from high school but not enough for all to attend college including him.he was gifted and called everybody’s boy because everyone liked him for his hardworking, passion and dedication to whatever he does and he was very respectful and love learning new things.
- [ ] On day his uncle visited Bayamón and spent few weeks with the family which he closely observed and spotted Henry’s creative mindset. He was amazed and decided to take him with him back to his home in Pensacola were he does furniture and carpentry which Henry started helping him, his uncle thought him his first driving lesson, so he helped him with his deliveries and sometimes after closed for the day he switched to a taxi driver so he can explore the town and make some extra money for him self.
- [ ] He later went to college make new friends and things started to get much better for him as he developed more love for Pensacola and the people in the city.
- [ ] One day a man stopped Henry’s taxi and gave him an address to take him there which he did and decided to drive around a little before heading back home and after some time of work he decided to go back home and coincidentally came across the same man as he stopped him again and asked for a ride home, on the way both of them were having fun talk about the city, Henry was so excited and told how wish I knew I was going to drive you home I would have given you my number to call me instead of you waiting for long for a taxi to pass, the man smiled and nodded his head saying I only waited a little before you came and on a second I’ll be needing your assistance tomorrow if you’ll be available I’ll booked for the whole day. After hearing this Henry was so happy but can’t accept immediately because the next day he has to help his uncle before going for taxi duty so he explained to the man and the was ok with it and gave him his complimentary card to call if he eventually gets a change of mind.Henry was ok with that and immediately went home after dropping the man off.
- [ ] Getting home uncle was happy to have Henry back home early, Henry rushed to hug him and sat him down as he walked him through his experience and the offer from the man he dropped off, his uncle was very ok with it and told Henry to call him and accept the offer as it is his first ever biggest offer since he started driving taxi, Henry was happy and gave the man a call after that they both had dinner and went to bed.
- [ ] The next day Henry quickly woke up and get dressed for his appointment for the day, he greeted his uncle and left. Getting to the man’s house address he knocked on the gate and the gateman answered are you looking for someone,what’s your name. He answered I’m Henry a taxi driver, I dropped a man outside this gate yesterday and was asked to come pick him up today, the gateman quickly understood and opened the gate describing were to go meet his Boss. When Henry got into the compound he was stunned like a light of thunder struck him in his thoughts. Then a voice came from his back. You’re welcome to my home sit over here I’ll be back, Henry waved his hands and couldn’t speak out because he was still surprised and was busy looking around the mansion. He took some pictures before the man came out and the left for the assignment of the day.
- [ ] Coming out from the first location he seemed happy and left for the second which he seemed disappointed he asked Henry to stop driving as he was on a call which wasn’t going well for him. After the call Henry tries to cheer him up and know what the problem was but he angrily asked Henry to shut up, mind his business and keep driving. Which Henry quietly did and after dropping him off as usual he pulled out a clip of money from his pocket and gave it to Henry. He was happy and the same time worried because the man didn’t return home happy after a long day of work. He wanted to return some money because the pay was 10times the normal pay but the man insisted he keeps it and left.
- [ ] Getting home Henry gave the money to his uncle and told him what happened today also the picture he took and said to his uncle “I wonder why a rich man with these many cars needed a taxi driver when he can definitely afford three drivers everyday,1 in the morning, another in the afternoon and evening as well, uncle he’s so rich, his gateman looking like a royal guard when I saw him I thought I was at the wrong address because he’s house was ugly from the outside view but magically in the inside, his uncle laughed out loud and said to him “you have seen it don’t worry your time will come when you will have yours,they both laugh as they continue working.
- [ ] The next day Henry was helping his aunt with the dishes when the man called him and asked if he can come pick him up, Henry quickly accepted, he hurried to the finish the dishes and left. Just as they were driving the man apologized for the way he spoke to Henry yesterday but Henry immediately told him not to apologize. He asked why and Henry replied “ first you paid me beyond my expectation and also I came from a very small city and over there it’s hard to see someone as rich as you and rich people don’t apologize. The man laughed and said “ You are funny my friend. Henry was overwhelmed that he called him his friend and took the opportunity to ask him why he was sad and he told him, his workers disappointed and made him loose a huge deal he was supposed to bagged. Henry sad as well and asked what kind of work is that if it’s something he can help with, but the man laughed and said don’t worry young man you’re just a good taxi man, this job will be too difficult for you to do but Henry insisted and the man asked him if he had any ideas on furnitures and interiors, Henry laughed and said that’s what my families are known for, my uncle have a workshop in this city and that’s where I work, I only drive taxi when I have nothing doing. The man was amazed and asked Henry for the address. They both had quality time and Henry told him about his plans to go visit his parents, later that day he gave him money to buy whatever he will be needing.
- [ ] Henry got home and told his uncle and aunt about his discussion with his new friend they all were happy as he was set to live very soon.
- [ ] The next day he left for Bayamón to see his parents getting there he was happy and everyone was happy to see him,they all had family dinner together after a long time of being together, the next day his brothers took him out on a tour around their city, he was surprised they now have cars and living comfortably like every average person should be which his uncle didn’t tell him but he wasn’t disappointed. He told his brother about his new friend and showed them pictures but they all laughed because to them it’s impossible and make mockery of him. He tried to make them believe but his efforts were countered so he called the rich man but he was too busy to pick up. Henry was disappointed and told his brothers he was only trying to impress non was true, they all laughed together as he was ready to go back to Pensacola the next day.
- [ ] Henry was home again and uncle,aunt were very happy to have him back home,they gave him a warm welcome and each tells their own stories of what happened the past couple weeks and Henry’s uncle told him about a man that came to their workshop some days ago he quickly knew that was the friend he had been telling them about, the uncle was furious and said “ I knew something was off about that man, he smells rich but doesn’t act like a reach man , I even thought he was looking for job opportunity they all laughed and Henry said “remember when I first went to his mansion I said the same thing, he’s so anonymous you need to see how I embarrassed myself in front of my brothers telling them about him and no one believed me I even try to call but he didn’t pick just like he knew I was going to expose him. Everyone laughed as they kept entertaining each other with stories and laughing.
- [ ] The next day Henry called his friend to inform him of his return, the man was excited and invited over for lunch and that was the breakthrough Henry had been praying for all his life. So he quickly grabbed the invitation and went to his friends house and for the first time he was able to go inside the house and get the meet his friend family, after proper introduction table was set and lunch was served they talked and laughed, and the dining table the man told Henry he bought a small property somewhere around the city,they will go and check it out and also he’s trusting it to him as their first ever contract together. Henry was so happy that he knees before his friend and started crying because he knew God has finally answered, his friend told “stop crying you’re a good person and this is just the beginning, you have so much to learn just be good and be yourself, they both hugged each other and Henry left.
- [ ] Getting Henry told his uncle and aunt, they were all happy as they celebrated by popping the best wine they have to celebrate the good news, music in the background as they dance and congratulate each other .
- [ ] As time goes on Henry friendships with his friend increased as they keep bagging more contracts together and Henry’s uncle and parents start living far better than they were before.everything was so different and perfect.
- [ ] On day his friend called him to meet him up at a local bar for a short of whiskey, Henry came they both sat down and started discussing and Henry took the opportunity to appreciate his friend for everything and even gave him a big expensive gift as appreciation for giving him a platform to his family life and he’s as well. His friend was happy and told “from the bottom of my heart I accept your gift and because of your loyalty I will teach you how to explore digitally and stop calling me my friend it’s better to me by my name WHEELER we’re best friends now. Then Henry finally asked a question that has been on his mind from the very first day he visited WHEELERS house and that question is “ you have so many cars and securities why don’t you go out with any of them and you don’t even act like someone that can afford my small car. Wheeler laughed and said that is freedom. Henry wasn’t satisfied with his friends response but choose to ignore.
- [ ] As times goes Henry became very good at the business and Wheeler kept to his promises even went as far to give Henry millions of dollars to promote him and Henry mastered everything, the internet was a huge advantage to the company in terms of broadcasting and engagement. Wheeler was about to move with his family to their new acquired residence in California, and Henry wasn’t too happy about good thing is he’s rich enough to travel anywhere and buy anything he chooses, so he gave wheeler a huge parting celebration like a king but wheeler wasn’t really happy with the changes in Henry and how he spends on luxury things. So they celebrated and wheeler left with his family, Now Pensacola is left for to paint and farm with his farming tools.
- [ ] Henry grew bigger and stronger in the business and added lots more companies,more properties to his name and also many more cars to his collection,he relocated all his family to Pensacola as he got married with kids and also so many securities as he’s the biggest in the game and talk of town, he was good despite his wealth he gives to the needy but you know not everyone can have a share so not everyone liked him because he’s a foreigner, he’s rich and everywhere you go you see him, like the guy is doing too much.
- [ ] Then problems starts coming one after another, he was been dragged and sued by fellow business owners and people for different reasons. At first Henry thought what the people want is money and he has a lot to give out but accusations never ends, he was accused of fraud,rape and so many other crimes despite he’s effort to debunk these people telling fake stories, lies and accusing him, he always comes out to be the bad person and the victim.
- [ ] People keep complaining about being bullied and harassed by his bodyguards and securities so because of that he stopped going out with anyone and started driving himself around but that didn’t end there, one Henry drove one of his most expensive vehicles to the bank to get money for an ongoing project, while he was inside the bank, someone grown kids were playing with skateboards around his car then he spotted them and came out yelling at them to go away from the car and the kids decided to punish him by using a metal to write his name big and bold on his car and smash both sides mirror. When Henry came out with his suitcase and saw the damage he was so angry and screamed crying“”WHO DID THIS TO MY CAR “.everyone acted as if nothing had happened and continued what they were doing.the kids hide and started laughing seeing him crying hitting his bag on the trunk of the car.
- [ ] He sadly went into a local bar devastated trying to drink himself to stupor because no matter how he tries to impress or be good to people they always paint him bad so as he was drinking in pains he suddenly spotted the kids again attempting to break his back wheel scream then he screamed and sprint towards them, caught one of the kids and angrily pounding him because he thought that was a grown up adult, the people around recorded him, he took the kid to the nearest police station and thought the kid will pay dearly for the damage him and his friends did to the car but not knowing that which is ahead of him.
- [ ] Henry went home that day sad and told his family what happened,everyone tried to cheer him up but he was deeply hurt and devastated with the way society treats him but later was able to calm down and he called the police station to let kid go and about his car his insurance will fix it so they did.
- [ ] The next day Henry went out as usual with his normal daily routine and to his greatest surprise everyone was running away him calling him a monster, a bad person but he didn’t know what happened so he ignored and continued to mind his business when he got a call from his lovely wife asking him to come back home they have something very important to show him, as she was sounding very worried, Henry quickly rushed home and to his greatest surprise a video of what happened was shown to him, comments were very bad and the clip were all over the internet.
- [ ] Immediately Henry saw it he understood the attitude he got when stepping out this morning and what will happen if doesn’t address the situation properly, immediately he called his lawyer and explained everything and how the media is destroying his reputation and relationship with the people and lots of investors are running away from him causing him to loose all what he worked hard to build all these years. Soon shareholders began selling their shares and the companies are falling, several lawsuits against him and he ran into bankruptcy and was detained and charged to court for multiple petitions written against him.
- [ ] Henry was forced to sell literally everything and family had to relocate back to Porto Rico, he was jailed and awaiting trial. Every effort to prove his innocence was ignored because of the video on the internet of that he pounced on angrily, no one cares about the true story of what really happened because the media has already given a narrative and proof which walks with, Henry suffered for so long until one day Wheeler saw the clip online and decided to contact Henry’s uncle good to know they were alive and sound and that was when Henry’s miracle from cell happened. They narrated everything to wheeler and he secretly invested the matter and get the bank to release footage of what truly happened that day and gave the video to Henry’s uncle to submit on his next appearance in court which they did and little by little the truth started coming out and all the blogs and media houses that posted the video started deleting one after the other so that they don’t get sued and pay for damages.
- [ ] That was how Henry became free and returned to his family, everyone was over joyed to have him back home they celebrated his return all the family come together to rejoice. Enough food to eat, wine to clear the throat and music to dance and clear the mind as they come together as the veliz family.
- [ ] The next day Henry was curious about how they managed to help him out, he tried all possible means but non worked out and he had to sell properties to pay lawyers upon lawyers to help but nothing they could do so his uncle smiled and told him that same good friend came through for you. Immediately wheeler and his family walked into the room Henry was shocked and quickly lay down on the floor holding wheeler’s leg apologizing “ MY GOOD FRIEND I’m sorry I had to put you through this stress I was lost in my thoughts, I’ve tried to make people like me by putting smile on their faces but the results are always negative for me, I don’t what came over me I couldn’t control myself that video on the internet was a clip of my stupidity I was so frustrated that very it happened I didn’t realize that was a kid(crying). Then wheeler replied don’t worry my friend I saw everything that happened there at the bank from the cctv footage, I’m not hear to put blame or judge you we are all here to celebrate with you.
- [ ] They both hug and wheeler took Henry to have a man to man talk while the families are inside enjoying themselves. They both drove off to local bar just like they did back then in Pensacola, they took several shots of whiskey and wheeler said to Henry “remember back then you asked a question which I refused to answer now i think best for me to answer that question.
- [ ] In life a lot of people thinks being rich means you’re invincible, untouchable or superior to everyone but the truth Is when you have money you automatically increase your pressure rate. we are in a society were whatever you do as a rich man you’re always the one at fault. You bully someone, everyone blames you and if someone tries to destroy your reputation and you fight back you’re also the bad person. You have to understand in other to grow you have to mark your boundaries and always try to keep your personal life and family private.
- [ ] Henry smiles at wheeler and didn’t stop thanking him for everything. Wheeler allowed Henry to work with him in his company and things even became much better as Henry was able to recover some of his properties he sold including a new luxury home he bought for his family which they all lived together happily.
- [ ] THE END.
