Chapter 8 Hidden Thirst

• 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 and proud was the capital in his bank account. His good family backgrounds and good looks were all these made him grow up in the palm of the hands of the people around him. His mother's friends and social circle made him the most handsome and popular among them.
• And because of this reason, He did not have a best friend. His appearance and conditions were always better than those classmates of him who had an ulterior motive towards him.
• Sara, Luca, Iris and their group of friends always roamed around him and Sara always confessed her love to him but there was always a nagging voice in his head and he stayed away from them.
• Luca liked Sara but Sara liked him. Iris was his close friend but she also liked Luca.
• Alden knew this and that was why he was better than those two faced classmates who never showed their real feelings to anyone. Alden was very good and pure hearted than them in many ways since he was a child, he had better grades, he never hide his emotions, his better appearance and popularity. And when puberty hit him, His beauty bloomed and caught the attention of masculine bull and also wandering butterflies.
• But His life changed when he met KANG DENNIS in his first year of college. He was only seventeen years old and Kang DENNIS who was twenty years old, was studying in the third year of the college.
• Kang Dennis appearance always caught the interest of the entire college but his aura almost made the whole first year crazy, but Alden did not agree with his classmates because that year, he was fascinated by film on a tough soldier. Alden was not interested in Dennis's thin and overly exquisite-faced boy at all, but his mind changed when they got to know each other more than they knew themselves. Their love was hidden because Alden was not graduated and Dennis was not in the mood of getting pressure from the world. Because they were poles apart and had different worlds.
• Alden never pay attention to this because his love for Dennis was something that he never had before for anyone. Dennis was his first and last love.
• Alden controlled his emotions as he stood emotionlessly at his spot but dealt with customers very politely.
• The store manager looked happy with Alden's hardwork and response as he patted Alden's shoulder in admiring manner.
• Alden's face sank because Over the past two years, Alden had changed and he was no longer what he used to be. Under the pressure of life, he was no longer proud and no longer radiant but still a cold attitude and arrogance was running in his hot young blood.
• That was why , when he unfortunately met Dennis again after the four years of long time in the VIP box, His felt uncomfortable under Dennis's rich, cold and unapproachable aura.
• Now, Alden did not even have the courage to stand in front of Dennis. In addition, he could only run away from the embarrassing if Dennis would appear before him.
• Alden's shift ended as he was hungry but was not in the mood to eat anything. He was feeling anxious for his mother. He tried to call her but her number was switched off. Alden gave a call to Eun Woo and they talked for a minute about the situation and also about Peach who was waiting for his return.
• Alden disconnected the call and at this moment, the smoke-gray clouds and rainy weather outside was as gloomy as he was at this moment.
• The intermittent raindrops hit his body but he walked aimlessly on the street. He was thinking about the past and his consciousness began to be distracted.
• Alden did not know if he was too tired on the first day of his work because he never did any hardship in his past life or his health was weak. He actually felt dizzy and the soles of his feet were weak as if stepping on cotton.
• Alden's heart was beating normally but in grief. His legs were weakened and the entire body turned extremely hot and the next moment, his body loosened his strength and fell backward due to unconsciousness but Dennis who was following him silently from the long time suddenly caught him in his sturdy arms.
• Alden's eyes fluttered in confusion as his gazes met with Dennis's handsome face. The rain hit Dennis's face on the frame of Alden's eyes.
• "Who?", Alden whispered softly but Dennis heard him.
• Dennis frowned and picked him up like a little bag. Alden could not open his eyes. The figure in front of his eyes was also blurred.
• Alden struggled desperately and his voice was weak and intimidated like acting coquettishly, "Who are you? Let go of me"
• Dennis's cold slit eyes looked at him.
• Alden who was emotionally weak did not expect to see Dennis before him. At this moment, Alden only felt weak and dizzy all over.
• Dennis's face was gloomy and he asked him in his straight tone while clasping Alden's chin with his cold thumb and finger, "Look at me, who I am?"
• Alden shook his head. He could not see clearly, and even Dennis's outline was a virtual shadow in his eyes but his voice was familiar that gave chills to Alden.
• Alden didn't feel comfortable as Dennis approached.
• Seeing this, Dennis expression was even more frightening as he spoke in a grunt, "Remember! I'm your HUSBAND"
• Dennis stared at Alden for several seconds. He seemed to think of something but in the next moment he suddenly used force and held Alden's chin, he forcefully kissed him.
• It was an un-polite kiss and extremely searing.
• The tyrannical tongue of Dennis seemed to want to lay claim to its kingdom, thrusting deep into Alden's mouth.
• Dennis's eyes were Overflowing with the Possessiveness and hidden THIRST was making him insane.
