ملك
It's a derivative of "ملكية" which means ownership. ¨
You owe it.
عند
Means ¨Have¨, not necessary to owe that ¨thing¨, but still having it.
You may owe it.

Like have and own
1
عنده بيت He has a house
يملك بيت He owns a house
That is basically the difference between both, but the 2 sentences refer to the same in this case .
Idiomatically you can not exchange them sometimes as in :
عنده حق He is right
You can not interchange it with يملك حق

there's no difference between عند & يملك
They are with the same meaning ...
