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 public.
When Alden arrived at the exclusive Club of the emperial city of America. The waiter directly took him to the box where Sarah was waiting for him.
He arrived before time and his body trembled slightly. The waiter stopped at the outside of the private box.
The waiter knocked on the door and announced, "Mr. Richards is here"
Alden was a little surprised. He thought he was early, but he didn't expect Sara to arrive earlier than him.
Alden nodded at the waiter as he took a deep breath and opened the door of the private box and walked in with his high head with full of confidence.
But As soon as he opened the door and stepped one step inside. He heard one after another one whistles with giggles in the box. The box was full of cigarettes smokes and smell of different different alcohol hit his nose. He instantly felt uncomfortable in that atmosphere.
Alden's heart escalated as he did not have a good impression of this situation. He looked roughly at the faces and found Sara was sitting in the middle of the round table and other people who were sitting around her were her friends.
An unpleasant feeling floated in Alden's heart because there was a boy named Luca who never liked him and feelings were mutual.
Alden's brows twitched to see so many people inside. It clearly looked that it was not a private meeting between Sara and him. But it seemed like it was a friends get together.
Seeing Alden standing at the doorstep, one of the rich second-generation man couldn't help but laughed, "Mr. Richard is really here. Oh no, i just lost a bet now"
Alden heard their snickering tone, "So what if he is here?"
Alden clenched his jaw tightly. Sara sipped her drink as she stared thim for head to toe. Even in the non branded clothes, His beauty was top notch. Her eyes had desires for him. She always tries to hold him in the past but this high almighty never gave a glance to her but situation was reversed now that simply satisfied her ego.
Another rich second-generation girl said with a mocking grin, "Katherine Richards is near to bankruptcy, you think he is still so proudy like past? He will not agree to you Sara"
Alden's nails were deeply embedded in his palm. He didn't even notice the bruising.
He ignored the other's and asked straightly to Sara, "What do you mean?"
Sara took a sip of the red wine and said casually, "Drink a glass of wine with me and i will pay ten thousand dollar to you. What do you say?"
Alden's face hardened.
"Think carefully. That's a lot of price, right? I know you need this. That's why you are here right?", Sara's friend said while having unkind smile on his face
"Wait Sara, What are you doing? Is he not a High Almighty, Mr. Richards is here to ask for five million?" , A male friend of Sara who never liked Alden spoke
"Then for five million, he must have to drink atleast five hundred cups?", Another friend of Sara said
Luca stood up from his seat and moved closer to him. He looked at Alden from head to toe as if looking at goods in the shopping mall and said contemptuously, "Alden Richards, Spent a night with me and i will pay five million directly to your mother"
Alden was trembling with anger as he fisted his hand and launched on Luca who fell down instantly with a sudden force.
Alden glared at them. Before coming here, He had prepared himself for the worst like insult and abusement but he never thought that Sara would prepare this trap for him.
Alden stared at Luca who stoop this low to humiliate him. Sara's friends were also there with crookedness to cynicism him.
Alden was always pampered by his mother and he never had a good temper. Even if his mother was no longer a big boss in the corporate world and his arrogance had been reduced a bit but it never disappeared from his bones. Arrogance and attitude were still running in his hot young blood.
Alden smiled wickedly as his smile instantly charmed everyone in the box. He said, "Five million a night to spend with a dog like you? Are you worth of the price? Tsk, Tsk, You are not upto my standard"
After saying that, Alden took a few steps backward and glared at all the rich stupid monkeys. He slapped Sara and Luca with his words.
Luca stood up from the ground furiously and grabbed Alden's jacket but Alden threw his hand away as they involved in a fight.
Luca's fists reopened Alden's Wounds as he pushed Luca and hurriedly opened the door and fled outside but he heard Luca's screeching voice, "Catch him for me. If you don't catch him today then i will kill you"
Someone ran behind to catch him.
Alden knew that Luca would not really kill him but it was certain that Sara, Luca and their gang would made him suffer a lot.Alden was not feeling well right now. His wound was still fresh and it started in ache when he ran fastly but he did not want to get captured by them so he ran away in a panic as he could heard the following footsteps of others.
He did know where he was running or how many turns he took but he ran. Suddenly, he caught a Golden VIP box in the end of the corridor.
Before he could think about it, he heard the footsteps and loud voice coming from behind him. In an impulse, he pushed the door of the golden VIP box and rushed inside it.
When he the golden VIP box, no one was outside of the VIP box. Without thinking much and to protect himself, he entered into the box.
His eyes instantly got blank because the entire box had dim light and at first, he thought there was no one in it. But he was wrong and it was a big mistake because the originally calm VIP box was having a harmonious conversation but due to his intrusion caused the disturbance to those two people who were alike in personality.
Founding, two people staring at him, Alden's heart jumped. Due to the sudden silence embarrassed him the most.
Suddenly light turned on and Alden closed his eyes immediately. He reopened his eyes few minutes later as he lifted his head and his gazes landed on the two people who were sitting opposite each other.
One was a handsome Masculine guy with blonde hair and sensitive brown eyes.
And the other one was someone he had been extremely familiar with.
Alden's mouth was dry and heart palpalated as he found their eyes on himself.
He could not help but gazed at the familiar face who seemed to have just picked up the red wine glass when he rushed in.
He was someone that could always messed up with Alden's emotions.
KANG DENNIS - His Ex-boyfriend.
The first thing Alden noticed was the limited edition watch on his wrist. Even if its design was simple but Alden knew that it was an expensive item in a single glance.Next, it was his other hand that was holding a glass of red wine. The picture was clean and his appearance was slender. Kang DENNIS looked like fine works of art, which was amazing.
And what caught Alden's breath was that Dennis was staring at him without blinking his eyes.
....
Thank youShineeSunshine ♥️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
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
