Chapter 1

I, Daniel Beaumont, was a newly-crowned A-list celebrity in the entertainment industry.I had just finished attending an award ceremony when my long-time rival, Pierce Kirkland, called me all of a sudden. He wanted to invite me over to his private residence for a meal in honor of my receiving an award at the award ceremony earlier.Pierce was my long-time rival and childhood friend. He was also the heir of an ultra-rich family. He was known to be a cold and ruthless bastard who stayed away from women in the elite society. Well, as for my impression of him, aside from not being into women, he was also a shameless bastard who liked to mess with me.Well, not "that" kind of messing around.If Pierce wanted to invite me over for a meal, that meant he was definitely up to no good.I wanted to turn his invitation down at first because I planned on spending the night admiring my award at home. But unfortunately for me, Pierce sounded very sincere over the phone. Not to mention, my mana

Chapter 2

But the moment I saw the actual headlines, I mentally broke down on the spot. None of my mental preparations prepared me for what I saw.The first headline read, "Breaking News! A certain A-lister was sent to the hospital because of… anal fissures!"The second headline showed, "This just in! A certain A-lister is carted out of the powerful heir's private residence!"What the heck was going on? I recognized every word I read, but when they were strung together, I found myself unable to comprehend the meaning at all!As I stared at the viral headlines featuring me, I could only clench my fists tightly out of sorrow and rage."Dammit! Who was the one who started all these nonsensical rumors? I just got my hemorrhoids removed, that's all! What the hell is going on?"Having hemorrhoids was just a normal health issue. Had the headlines reported that, I'd be able to twist things in my favor.But now, the hemorrhoids were reported as an anal fissure instead. To make things worse, I supp

Chapter 3

As soon as Pierce's words fell, everyone in the studio was stunned, to say the least. The atmosphere went eerily quiet for a long moment.Only the director's elated voice could be heard coming from the background. "Holy shit! The number of viewers has skyrocketed! Our show has gone viral!"Of course, a certain someone screeched like a banshee from the mentors' row."Oh my god! What are you talking about, Piercy? Are you actually declaring yourself as that filthy bastard's lackey?"Thomas shot up from his seat instantly. Clearly, he didn't give a damn about keeping up his image as a celebrity. From the way he had addressed Pierce, I finally recognized him as the same Thomas who hailed from the elite Jenkins family, who lived next door.Thomas was a rich scion this whole time. That explained his arrogance and boldness. Even the question he asked was extremely rude and tactless. He didn't even bother sparing my pride at all.I had a vague impression of Thomas, so to speak. He had

Chapter 4

Thomas was whisked away by an ambulance. But the truth was, he only suffered from mild lacerations on his face. Both Pierce and I knew when not to overdo it in terms of fighting.But youngsters like Thomas cared about their precious looks the most. Not to mention, Thomas had tons of money to spend. Naturally, he had to call an ambulance just to get his injury treated.Those who didn't know what happened might have assumed that Thomas suffered from a concussion thanks to his dramatics.As for me, I walked out of the studio, completely unscathed. Pierce flanked me protectively the whole time.His bodyguards were already posted outside the main exit. They stopped the paparazzi, who were crowding around the exit, from swarming us before forming a path for us to leave."Thanks a lot, Pierce," I said to him after getting into his car.It was my first time speaking with Pierce in a serious manner, despite having known him for many years. I didn't expect that I'd have to thank him as wel

Chapter 5

I had no idea why I'd think about Pierce for no reason. He was the one with ulterior motives toward me, and yet his face kept haunting me.Could it be that I was actually gay?In order to stop overthinking, I decided to go hunting for gigs. Thankfully, Alex was able to arrange for a meeting between me and a producer who wasn't intimidated by my reputation.Weirdly enough, that producer wanted me to have a meal with him as a prerequisite condition.Of course, I knew what it actually meant to have a meal with business associates in this messed-up industry that was practically swimming in a sea of sins, but I still chose to go. After all, I was left with far too much time on my hands, and I didn't want to spend it thinking about Pierce uncontrollably.Besides, I wasn't scared of the producer at all. This was just a meal to me. If he dared to lay a finger on me later, I could always turn down the gig.I didn't need money, after all. Even if I never took over my family business, I cou

Chapter 6

Shit! How dare that asshole toy with me! If his mother—my older sister—were to find out about what he did, she'd definitely beat him up to the point he'd be bedridden for the rest of his life!But those were the consequences Thomas would face in the future. Most importantly, what should I do now? That old creep was about to reach out and touch me!I tried to turn on my heel and run, but I felt extremely light-headed and weak. I ended up crashing into the door and collapsing into the door's arms.Um… Wait, the door had arms?Oh. I wasn't lying against the door. I was lying against a row of abs…"Thomas Jenkins, you're dead meat." I heard Pierce's voice.Thomas' shriek rang out after that. "Piercy, what are you doing here? Wait, why are you holding that bastard?"I heard Pierce chuckling softly in return. "You really should find out who exactly the so-called bastard is."His voice was extremely glacial at that point. Suddenly, I found myself wondering if his lips were equally col

Chapter 7

Heavens knew how loud I was in bed last night. I thought I was in a hotel room, which was why I kept moaning up a storm without a care in the world. Now, could I still sneak out of this place while I still had the chance?I glanced over at the side of the bed, which was left empty for quite some time. Then, I rubbed my ass, which was still a little sore. In the end, I chose to escape via the window.The moment I opened the window, I barely had time to stick one leg out when someone opened the bedroom door from the outside.Pierce stood at the doorway with a plate of toast and a glass of milk in his hands. He just stared at me, clearly dumbstruck.When I saw him, I breathed a sigh of relief. Then, I placed a finger near my lips, shushing him."Dude, I'm going to bail first. Let's do this again next time—uh, I mean, let's never do this anymore. It's too embarrassing."That was when I saw a trace of embarrassment flashing across Pierce's face. He then shuffled to the left slightly

Chapter 8

I used to be an A-list celebrity. Now, I was an E-lister who was still extremely famous… or infamous, so to speak. My fanbase basically consisted of fans who loved me, haters who hated me, and anti-fans who used to love me but now hated me. The polarization in my fanbase was severe, to say the least.Someone claimed that Pierce and I were a match made in heaven. I liked seeing comments like this the most, so I dumped a shit ton of money into grooming my comment section to only show similar comments.There was a user who stated that Pierce had used the power of money in snagging all the best scripts for me. Ergo, I was a sugar baby with Pierce as my sugar daddy. They also left a disclaimer, saying that they were willing to delete their comment if I didn't like what they said. All they hoped was that Pierce wouldn't get revenge on them in the future.Well, I liked seeing comments like this as well. The feeling of being spoiled and pampered by my long-time rival was the best feelin
