A wealthy man enjoys the food he is fed each day, he would relaxed all day at his resort. Enjoying the sun shining through his glass filled house. Long time ago he was just a vendor down the street. He labored and worked hard for his family all day.
He frequently gambled his profit each day with the aim to multiply the money and earn a greater income. But then he loses and sometimes wins. It was not always a winning battle. He loses and got himself out into trouble with debts.

One day he was completely broke that he went to buy for a lottery ticket on his last penny. He was lucky enough to win the jackpot price and leaped to the highest with joy. Her family were very happy. They went on a month vacation to different places, places they have never been before. Ate delectable food they never tasted at an expensive restaurant and went shopping, bought new clothes and shoes and diamond studded jewelries.
They bought each of them a new car, his son and daughter and his wife. They chose each of their own choice regardless of the price. His wife chose a red car and his daughter a pink one. His son chose a sports car with its latest design. He chose a black car with a popular brand name. The wealthy man bought a vast landscape of land near the beach and constructed a new mansion for them to stay.
It has been a year from that time the wealthy man had won the lottery. He had been too easy in spending the money. His children went to a well known University of the rich and the famous. He provided his son and daughter the life he never had. They have each of them their own bodyguards to foresee that they are both well and an assistant to take care of their needs. His wife went to casino almost everyday while the wealthy man established two new businesses for them, a franchise of a food chain and grocery store.
It was not for long that his son had joined a fraternity that made his life miserable. He get drunk each day and eventually dig in to be addicted to drugs. To the extent of stealing money from his father. The wealthy man have him rehabilitated for months so that it will not get worse. Indeed, he went well after months but did turn again to his vices.
The wealthy man’s daughter had also been influenced by peers to go shopping with the latest trend of clothing and expensive shoes. She would also ask his father money to treat her friends in going to night outs and went home late and drunk. It continued because the wealthy man got her spoiled by giving out all her wants.
His wife withdraws large amount of money to pay for the casino and gamble for almost every other night. She continued on losing and have herself dumped with debts and withdraws again from their bank account. She just couldn’t control her vices with the motivation of winning bulk amount of money someday. It is without the consent of the wealthy man and without him knowing about the withdrawing of money.
When the wealthy man have known about the amount of money that her wife had withdrawn, he was desperately downhearted and dismayed by his situation that he as well almost gave up. He called up his secretary to evaluate their funds, so that he will impose on some rules for his children as well as his wife and to make them aware of their misuse of the money that they have been given.
He called for a meeting, all of the family members and told them about their situation. They barely listened and wasn’t even paying attention and instead they continued with each of their wrongdoings. His wife gambled the more of thinking she could retrieve the lost amount of money she had withdrawn, his son drank the more because he thought his life is getting miserable, his daughter as well joined with her peers to steal at the department stores to have her the life she always wanted, to be shopping the clothes she would love to buy. The wealthy man not knowing what to do drove himself away from the situation and went to a farther place to spend time and think.
While he was thinking, he have thought of doing something that would help him ease the situation, and device a plan to impose it. He made a gadget that would control the mind of the person wearing it. He thought by controlling their minds he would stop them from doing what is wrong and let them live in walking at the right direction. After having everything prepared he decided to go home.
So he went to get inside his car and drove. He was filled with excitement on his heart that all will be fine after having them wore the gadget. His wife was at the casino, his son down the street drinking and his daughter with her peers enjoying the night at the bar. The wealthy man would go to them one by one and hand them over the gadget. His son will have the watch , his daughter a bracelet and his wife a necklace. Those gadgets would navigate them at the right thing to do. It has been set to control them.
As he was passing by the road, a man waved at him to hitch in going home. The man have told him that he will be just dropped by near their place. The wealthy man, with kind heart let him in and ride with him. It wasn’t long that the stranger held a gun on his head. He wants to get all the money that is with him and all the jewelries that he have been planning to give his family. But the wealthy man refused to give the jewelries and the stranger hit him real hard to get the jewelries and got it. The wealthy man fought back and got hit by the bullet on his head and died on that very night. His family grieved for his death and bitterly wept that if only they had been concerned about their situation, their father and her husband wouldn’t end that way. It was their greatest downfall.
