At The City Hospital:-
Alden was lying down on the hospital bed but his mind was thinking about the past.
Two years ago, when her mother's company was the hardest, struggling to save everything, Alden cried in the dark. He was always a pampered mumma's boy and facing the sudden down fall torn him apart but he never showed to his mother and always held his head high.
Last year, Another wave of crisis hit him that made him to moved to the dilapidated Apartment where he was living now and it was like sky collapsing situation for him but he accepted it.
And now, he was covered with glass shards all over his body. When the doctor used a clamp to clip the glass out of his wound, it hurt so much that he was cold and sweaty as well but endured it. He could not cry over the pain. He could not cry over his fate either.
Alden Richards, the single child of the Richards family was still learning to grow and facing this cold reality of life.
Alden glanced at talkative Park EUN WOO. Right now, Eun Woo was the only friend Alden knew after moving to the place where he currently lived.
The two were about the same age and have similar interests and hobbies. Slowly, they became familiar. Eun Woo came from a middle class family and he also lived on the first floor above Alden. Eun Woo family lived in South Korea.
Alden kept his eyes closed and he opened when the hospital scents trickled his nose. He never liked the smell of water and atmosphere of the hospital.
But in this situation, it was needed to come to the hospital to get treatment otherwise the wounds would leave scars on the body.
In the hospital, the doctor gave him a more detailed examination.
There are some small glass on his arms that were embedded deeper into the flesh.
It hurts to clip it out. So little amount of anesthesia was needed.
The doctor asked him but Alden shook his head and smiled indifferently and said to the doctor, "It's okay, doctor, you can do it."
Alden hardened his heart. He never liked to feel pain. He was a man but was it important for man to show that he could tolerate all type of pain like a Hulk?
Absolutely not but not now. Except, tolerating the pain, He did not have any choices now. He was injured. He needed treatment and wanted his mother but he did not dare to make a phone call to his mother.
Because he knew that this little accident would definitely scared his mother who was already burning in the layers of loans, debts, threats and bankruptcy.
Park Eun Woo observed how Alden's body slightly trembled. His eyes scrunched as he smiled softly. So, In order to ease the nervousness of his Handsome friend, Eun Woo said, "Hey Alden, I have a good news to share with you"
The doctor was already disinfecting the equipment but Alden's attention was already on Eun Woo.
Eun Woo smiled as his lips turned upward. His smile was delicate as he understood Alden very well.
When he first met Alden. Alden had the temper of a young master. His tone was full of arrogance with bad temper but Eun Woo never found his temper annoying. Eun Woo understood Alden very well without even scratching his past. To Eun Woo, Alden was not proudly young master of the Richards family but he was a lonely man who looked handsome but also had a lovely heart
"My male God has returned to America", Eun Woo said and Alden frowned, "Your male god? Who?" Why have I never heard about him?
Park Eun Woo winked sexily and said, "KANG DENNIS, He is back now"
Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar name, Alden almost didn't react for the first time but his heart thumped uncomfortably l.
It had been a long time since he heard this name. Alden pursed his lips in silence.
Looking at the blankness of Alden's face, Eun Woo subconsciously thought that Alden had never heard of this name.
"Do you know He is the heart throb of the teenagers, Heart breakers of adults and Soul suckers for whom who double crossed him. He has nothing from the beginning but he is a billionaire now and just in three years he becomes Mr. Untouchable, Mr. unapproachable", PARK EUN WOO spoke and Alden's mind was processing his words.
"Do you know four years ago, he formally entered the e-commerce industry. He also has share in entertainment industry, e-sports, beauty brands and many more And most importantly, Recently his company launched a gaming app which is now gaining momentum. He is really awesome, and his hardwork from the past few years are fruitful now", Eun Woo spoke while smiling but Alden did not look at him.
Because Alden's mind was playing the scenes from the past.
"He becomes a dazzling star in four years", Alden said and calculated in his heart.
There was also a sense of distance. It seemed that the two were very far apart like two poles of the equator.
Past four years, Alden had not pay attention to any information about him. After all, He dumped him. He dumped Kang DENNIS and broke his heart.
But occasionally, he would see his name Appeared in the newspapers and web news.
Dennis's fox like eyes were the first thing that caught Alden's attention.
When Alden was lost in thinking, the doctor had stopped his work and gave instructions to him, "Avoid eating sour food and remember not to touch the water on the wound"
Alden nodded and took the prescription from doctor's hand. After the treatment, both Alden and Eun Woo went to the bill counter. Seeing the bill, His brows twitched.
Eun Woo snatched the bill receipt from his hand and said, "I will pay the bill. Return me later".
Alden stared at Eun Woo as he knew that when Eun Woo was just starting his career in entertainment industry and he actually didn't have much spare money on hand but still helping him without thinking twice actually warm his heart.
He lowered his eyes embarrassingly and Eun Woo slapped his shoulder boldly, "Don't think too much"
Eun Woo knew that Alden was stubborn but this was not the right time to show his stubbornness.
They came out of the hospital and the sum was setting fastly. Both of them shivered subconsciously as soon as they came out of the warm place.
Fortunately, there was a subway station near the hospital. They hurriedly took the subway station.
After entering the subway station and being surrounded by the warm breath again, "I don't like winter"
"Same here", Eun Woo said as they bought tickets and when the subway came, suddenly, Eun Woo asked Alden, "What are you going to do about your mother's company?. Swords of Bankruptcy is still hanging over it"
When this question was mentioned, the air pressure around Alden dropped.
Alden exhaled and said in low voice, "I am going to meet Sara tomorrow. Hope , if I can borrow five million from him to solve the bankruptcy emergency."
Sara was Alden's former suitor and daughter of a very rich man. He never glanced at her and now, he had no idea whether he could borrow money from her.
But no matter what, he wanted to give it a try.
This year when Katherine Richards was on the verge of bankruptcy, He had seen all the fake warmth and coldness of humanity.
All the people who had fawned on his family before, invariably showed indifferent faces in the tough situation.
"Good luck", Eun Woo said as they returned to their house.
Eun Woo entered into the house and locked it carefully. He was hungry and quickly tore the seal of a cup noodles, added hot water and ate it quickly without even waiting for three minutes.
After eating, he took his hidden money and counted it thrice. He had only few dollars in his hands. He sighed weakly but instantly he smiled brightly, "I can do this".
Eun Woo knew that his life would change one day and the darkness of poverty faded away from his life.
"Fighting", Eun Woo said enthusiastically but had a bad premonition for Alden who was going to meet his former suitors.

How's the chapter readers?
Thank youShineeSunshine ♥️It was evening but due to winter time, darkness easily and fastly engulfed the day.Alden stood before his small cupboard and glanced at his clothes.Because of his injuries, he could only wear his casual and loose clothes today. He chose to wear a white shirt, black sweaters, cargo pants with trench coats and a hand knitted muffler. What he was wearing were all simple clothes and it did not suit with his current situation but even in this non branded clothes, he was looking very good. When Alden went out this time, he drew still attracted many people's attention as they were all looking back and admiring him on the subway.Alden looked very good-looking. His high neck with pointed Adam apple was the centre of his features. His deep enchanting eyes, smile with dimple and red heart shape lips caught the breath of so many people. Her facial features were all gifts of the Creator, and every arc and edges were sharp, pointed and just right at the place.The beauty was exquisite and publi
The other man asked Alden, "Hey, Young Man, did you go to the wrong box?"Alden's heart moved violently because of the fast running and now because of this situation. His heart hadn't calmed down completely. He tried to control his breath and nodded gently at the stranger.But suddenly, Kang DENNIS slowly raised his head and glanced at Alden.Alden also took a short glance at him and found his hair was a little longer than before. He looked neat, energetic, cold and mature than the past. His hair was dyed that was not matching to his eyes. He was only wearing a white shirt, and a black trouser in this cold season. Alden's heart escalated as Dennis looked very different from what he was four years ago. The facial lines became more clear, the eyes were indifferent, with a looming sense of distance.Even if he had the same eyes, the same nose, and the same lips, but the temperament of his personality waa completely different from before. He seemed like an aloof cold CEO.At this momen
Dennis's eyes were sharp as he spoke in nonchalantly tone,"I can smell blood on your body". His eyes were staring deeply at Alden because Alden himself didn't know that every time he lied, he blinked his eyes continuously.Let those who knew him know at a glance whether he had lied or not.Dennis sighed coldly when he saw Alden's eyelashes blinking frequently. Dennis's eyes became colder and colder by each passing second..Alden hurriedly pulled his hand and in a swift he stepped out of the car. He took baby steps towards the hospital as he clutched his clothes tightly. He knew that Dennis's car was still there.Inside the car, the driver turned around and asked Dennis, "President KANG, where do we go next?"Dennis pressed his lips tightly and said nothing as his eyes were looking at Alden whose steps were not clear and legs were shaking. He smelt blood on Alden's body. He was well aware of Alden's body, his habits and his actions. He knew that Alden hated the feeling of pain. Denn
..."I am leaving", Alden's heart stumped painfully at his mother's words.Both mother and son were hurt by any limits. In the world, Accusations, betrayal and revenge, They were trying to manage the crown and name of RICHARDS. "Mom, Think about me", Alden said as he had always been mature and elegant, and his mother, who took care of him in an orderly manner, was finally crushed by the reality.Alden tried to stabilize his voice, but his nasal voice was still a bit heavy, "Mom, I am here. I am always with you".Alden was using his mother's name RICHARDS. Alden's parents were young when they met, fell in love, got married and welcomed Alden but in all these processes, Alden's mother made the mistake of not paying attention to her husband's whereabouts. Alden's mother had a great business strength as she came from a good family of scholars but Alden's father was the rich spoilt brat who was famous for his charm to trap girls in his so-called love. His mother was also one of those girl
The next day, when Alden woke up, he took his phone to check the time but what caught his attention was the back to back text messages from Iris.IRIS - a name that tinkles so many past memories of him. His former friend who used to stick with him.Before his mother's company went bankrupt, he and Iris had a similar family background and the two were close to each other. After 'The Crown Of Love' went bankrupt, Iris kept her distance from him and neglected him completely like Alden never exited in her life. Alden would naturally not go to ask Irish about the matter because he understood why Iris left him out, and he also broke contact with her directly.However, the contact information was still saved in his phone. This time it was the first time Iris had contacted him after his mother's business failure.When Alden opened the inbox and found messages of Iris, His complexion slowly changed. [Iris: Alden, Why did you provoke Sara? Sara is planning to do something against you.][Iris
Two years of struggle finally ended up at bankruptcy. This time , the damage was big and completely left Alden with nothing. ['The 'CROWN Of LOVE' is bankrupt now.] The breaking news was still flashing in the tv showroom and the dusty memories began to come alive in his mind.His father was originally a rich businessman in one of the famous cities of a global finance and culture center of the US and his mother came from a scholar family that had highest rank holders in Astrophysics, Quantum Mechanics,Law, Aeronautical Studies and Neurosciences, Biochemistry. Alden had lived a good life since he was born but he was not in touch with his both paternal and maternal families because his mother's marriage with his father was not approved by his maternal grandparents. Due to his father's continuous link-up, affairs, his mother stayed away from his father's family. Apart from all these things, His mother was his pillar and due to this, He was arrogant but what made him more arrogant
Dennis's eyes were Overflowing with the Possessiveness and hidden THIRST was making him insane. Alden still wanted to speak but his throat gave up and then Dennis carried him and stuffed him into the car and grabbed his head. Dennis kissed Alden again. This time more strongly and rudely. Alden's world fell into darkness. Only the cold touch on his lips was quiet. The car was isolated from the noise outside. Alden was unable to breathe as he bit Dennis's lips with his last trace of strength. Dennis was so lost in the hidden THIRST that he was unaware of the bit until the taste of his blood came into his mouth and this made him stop and he laughed bitterly. "It is not too stupid to resist. Right darling?", Dennis thought as his closed eyes opened and then looked at Alden. Seeing that Alden no longer struggled, Dennis looked at him and saw him sleep peacefully and he was breathing smoothly. Looking at Alden's safe sleepy face and the red and swollen lips kissed by him, Dennis piti
Dennis wanted Alden to submit willingly to him but he was unconscious and he did not want to take advantage of his sweet little love. Dennis cleaned Alden's body and dried his clothes. After drying Alden's clothes, Dennis put it back on his body. At this moment, Dennis withdrew his hidden THIRST of love, hate And revenge as he carried Alden back and carefully put him on the sofa in the hotel lobby. He hid himself but his eyes were only on Alden's face. Dennis waited for Alden to wake up. As he told the receptionist to follow his words like - 'The receptionist found Alden falling outside of the hotel and took him inside it and waited for him to get his consciousness back'. A few hours late, it was very late at night and Alden woke up as his eyes hurt when he looked around the surrounding. "It's STRANGE", Alden murmured in his hoarse voice as he clearly remembered that it rained out of the Mall. How did he end up inside the hotel? Alden looked at his whole body and took a deep brea
