Time and again, it is said that fate dictates the outcome of our lives. Every decision we make, even the simplest flick of a finger, is a part of it. Then there's money-riches and wealth. If a person possesses all the riches in the world, are they not deemed the luckiest on earth? But what truly weighs more: one's wealth or one's fate?
The story begins when the birth of a twin to a wealthy family whose estate would be hardly noticeable unless viewed from above -- the sprawling walls surrounding the manor that sits majestically within its grounds.
It was deemed a sad and complicated situation because, throughout that family's history, twins had never graced its lineage. It was said that the family's descendants must choose partners with genes that wouldn't result in twins. The reasoning: Have you read The Man in the Iron Mask? That captures the essence of it.
So, what does this have to do with anything?

Happy reading
