"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 girls who fell for his trap.
One day, Alden's mother got to know how her husband was having an affair with one of his secretary when she was carrying Alden. When Alden was born she gave her name to him and asked for divorce but Alden's father did not give divorce to her because of the property will of his grandparents. Right after the birth to Alden, His father welcomed another son from his mistress and he gave his name to that son.
Things started messy when that Mistress started behaving rudely with his mother and the situation turned horrible. Alden was ten years old that year when he understood the reality of their parents' marriage. When he turned 12, finally his father gave divorce to his mother and went out of their lives. And at last, His father remarried to his so-called first love. His father kept saying that it was for true love, but Alden knew that his father never loved anyone neither his mother nor any of his flings. His father was the most selfish creature on the earth. After Alden's Father left the country, he never contacted his mother again. Alden too did not want to know about him. His mother never looked at any man. She gave her youth to a scumbag and now, she had only Alden in her life.
Hearing Alden's question, Katherine Richards smiled, "My Baby, Mom know this. I was just missing you. I wanted to hear your voice. I will go to bed right away. You go to bed too"
Both of them tacitly did not mention the huge amount of money that was needed to clear the threat of bankruptcy.
When his mother was about to hang up the phone, Alden held the phone's microphone tightly and said nervously, "Mom, You have to be fine. I have no one other than you. You can't leave me alone in this world. What will I do with you"
He closed his eyes as he remembered how news always flashed about the failed bosses of multinational companies. Because of the company's bankruptcy, After owing huge debts, many bosses committed suicide by jumping off the building.
His heart broken by mere a thought of this. He could not live without his mother. His mother was an iron lady for him. His back and his best friend that was why he was afraid that his mother would go the same way as those people. He didn't want to lose his mother.
"Mom, If the money is out then you can earn more money. Some people can start from scratch, some people can make a comeback, and so can they. But if life is gone, then there really is no hope. We can make money. We can start from scratch. I am with you and will always be with you. Don't worry everything will be fine", Alden's voice was shaking and Katherine Richards heard these words, her heart softened and she solemnly said, "Denny Baby, don't worry, Mom will be fine. We will definitely get through this difficult period"
Alden replied with a nasal sound, "I love you mom. I love you the most"
Katherine Richards chuckled softly as she whispered, "I love you too my baby"
They could get through the current difficulties.
They disconnected the call and cried softly as they knew that how hard for them to overcome from this loss and heart break.
...
On the other hand, Dennis was having difficulty in sleeping. His heart was calm but not his mind.
His mind was still recalling the moment he spent with Alden. The wounds on Alden's body scratched his heart as he wanted to took all his pain but he could not do anything for him why ? Because Alden broke his heart mercilessly.
Dennis clutched his chest as he remembered the harsh words of Alden
"Who are you? What do you have ? What can you do for me? Nothing. You are a poor man. I am a young master of the Richards family"
Dennis's eyes were blank but heart hammered as his face was white as blank sheet.
He wanted to control his breathings but it was running abnormally as he was continuously thinking about Alden.
In their relationship, Dennis was only mature and sensible one. Alden was cute, childish and had an arrogant aura but he was always sweet with Dennis.
"Alden, You are MINE", Dennis said as his clenched his jaw tightly.
His head was thumping and eyes were bloodshot red. For the past four years, he had sleepless nights, he could not sleep without Alden. He needed Alden for himself.
Alden was like a drug to him. He was addicted to Alden's sweet voice, enchanting smell and his smooth skin that still make him hard whenever Dennis remembered the past.
"Nothing is over yet. I will restart everything. Either with love or with Hate", Dennis said and his voice was full of Obsessiveness.

Thank youShineeSunshine ♥️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
Both Alden and Eun Woo stared at each other. Alden pursed his lips and looked up at Eun Woo who was also blank like him. "What was this... just now?" , They spoke in a confusing tone at the same time. Alden stared as his heart was still beating fastly because of the sound just now, "It seems ... Like someone ... The door was violently kicked" Eun Woo was a little uncertain as he spoke, "The kicking sound ... Seems like someone kicked the main door of your house" Alden shook his head as his voice trembled, "I don't know, but it feels very Like." At this time, Alden couldn't even eat the delicious dumplings. "Did Luca come and kick the door of his house?", Alden said because At this time, he was also a little nervous. If it were before, of course he would not be afraid of Sara, Luca and their gang at all. But now and then, he no longer had the confidence not to be afraid of them. Luca could really do this kind of thing. He came faster than Alden thought. Peach stood up, as if h
Alden read the messages and his mind went blank for a whole minute. [Sara and Luca - Police caught them] [Luca, Sara and their friends were partied together and Police raid that area. Police found drugs there. They were all under the custody and went to the Centrum] When Alden saw this line of information, his first reaction was stunned. The sender was Iris. "How is it possible to get caught in just a few hours? Are they not the same people who were knocking on the gate of my house last night?", Alden thought while walking to the store. His colleagues smiled at him and Alden nodded his head. He changed his clothes and wore the uniform and then stood on his spot.Alden found his colleagues immersed in a deep conversation as the girls were giggling softly. He sighed weakly, Except for making money desperately, he had no life of his own. Listening to his colleagues talk about the hottest variety shows and TV, and talking about where to travel during breaks, he could only hide aside
He looked at Alden with a cold but full of 'buried' & 'Intense' love eyes, "Mr. RICHARDS, long time no see". Alden stared at the chaotic and embarrassing scene in front of him and didn't know how to respond. Dennis was standing very close to him and After that night after the hospital visit, he did not meet him. Thinking about the past, Alden's heart quickened as he thought that Kang DENNIS was the evil but charismatic star of his life. However, Alden sometimes even blamed himself, thinking that he was the evil star of his own destiny. His life turned upside down overnight two years ago. He fell from heaven to hell, from the proud son of heaven to the mud under his feet. The sound of the elevator arriving on the first floor pulled him back from the lane of memory. Alden was really ashamed to face this scene. He moved away from Dennis and glared at his boss as he rushed out of the elevator without looking back. He did not have the courage to look back at Dennis so he ran as fast
While searching for the job online, Alden's phone vibrated in the middle of the job hunting. The call was from the manager of the community property. Alden frowned slightly while seeing the number. He picked up the phone anxiously as he said, "Hello?"A loud voice from the opposite side of the phone came, "Is this Mr. Alden Richards?" "Well, it's me", Alden said quickly. "Actually, the community sends funds to renovation of the buildings. In the first round, only two buildings will be renovated", The manager of the Community property said to her. "Okay", Alden replied to him. "So, Your building is lucky as it has received the chance to get renovated from the community funds", The manager said and Alden listened very carefully. Renovation? Lucky ? His building? He was not the only one who lived in the building. Eun Woo also lived on the second floor and other 2-3 people on the third floor. The residential area where Alden now rents was built in the early 80s and it was true that
