Chapter 1

My parents were both doctors. I was the firstborn followed by my brother who was born 14 years later. We were only 2. My parents were not only doctors, they owned businesses. I could get most of the good things life could give. We lived in a beautiful house with maids enough to care for our comfort. However besides being born in such a family, my mother would teach me to be always humble.
