The city's hottest billionaire heir sneaked into my house late at night and stole my dog. Once he had him, he posted on Instagram: “Finally got my son back.” The picture was of him and a gigantic Alaskan Malamute. Half an hour later, the current It-Girl actress posted a selfie from her house: “Waaah, Daddy took my doggie. I’m so lonely by myself.” The topic blew up. Everyone swooned over their perfect celebrity romance. I returned to my penthouse after recording my show and saw the empty apartment. Wait! Where the hell is my dog? 1 I got home from filming a reality show late in the morning. Usually, the moment he hears me entering the security code, my dog bolts over, scratching frantically at the door. Today, there was silence. I pushed the door open and called his name: "Monster." "Where are you? Mommy's home." I called several times, but he didn't respond. I searched every room. I went through the entire place and couldn't find him. Fearing something terrible happened to Monster, I immediately checked the security footage. On the screen, Rhys Shaw, the city's billionaire prince, crept stealthily up to my door. He looked left, then right. He punched in the code and entered. Monster, who hadn't seen him in two weeks, shamelessly wagged his tail and whined excitedly. Rhys clipped the leash onto him and led him out. The whole dog-napping process was so slick it made me laugh from sheer disbelief. I pulled Rhys’s number out of my blocked list and initiated a video call. He must have anticipated my call because he answered instantly, then pouted and turned away from the camera in classic arrogant fashion: "Hmph! Didn't we say whoever looks back first is the dog? Why are you calling me?" I looked at Monster lying beside him, happily crunching on a treat. "Do you think I'd call you if you hadn't broken into my house and stolen my dog?" "Do you even know what trespassing and grand theft are?" Rhys is Grandma Shaw's favorite grandchild, pampered and arrogant since birth. He leaned back on the sofa, running his hand over Monster's head, sounding pleased: "I took my son home. What law did I break?" I reminded him: "I bought Monster!" Rhys’s thin lips curved into a smile: "And I raised him from two months old. If you want to see Monster, come home." I was exhausted from a day of filming and didn't want to argue: "I'll give you a million dollars. Monster is mine!" At that, Rhys shot up like a husky whose tail had been stepped on: "Serena Wu, you’ve got some nerve!" He angrily hung up the call. A few minutes later, Rhys deliberately posted a photo with Monster on Instagram, captioning it: "Sneaked my son away from my girlfriend." I chuckled: "Immature." 2 Early the next morning, I was woken up by my agent rushing me off to a taping. Last night, Rhys had hung up the video call, only to call back later, shamelessly claiming Monster missed his mom. I leaned against the car seat, half-asleep, and habitually checked the trending topics. To my shock, the top three spots were all about Rhys. #BillionairePrinceRhys Secretly Confirms Romance with Isla Chen! # #BillionairePrinceRhys Late-Night Dog Theft # #IslaChen Responds, Admitting Relationship # #BillionairePrinceRhys IslaChen Wedding Bells? # #SerenaWu Regrets Bullying Prince Rhys's Girlfriend # I laughed at that last one. Who came up with that title? Isn't that embarrassing? 'Prince Rhys's Girlfriend'? I should be Queen! Ever since Isla Chen debuted, every time she trends, she has to drag me down, giving me a reputation for stealing her resources. I clicked on a comment and went to Isla Chen's Instagram. Her latest post, from last night, was a pajama selfie: "Waaah, Daddy took my doggie. I’m so lonely by myself." It was posted half an hour after Rhys’s. Isla had even tagged him. The topic exploded that night, and major influencers reposted it. Netizens even spliced together unrelated videos of the two of them. [OMG! My favorite two people are together!!] [Three months ago, a paparazzo caught them skiing in Australia. The Prince denied taking 'My Princess' then. He's eating his words now, LOL.] [My Princess, are you making it official because you're getting engaged?] [The Prince is so humble around My Princess. He had to sneak in at night just to see the dog, LOL.] [Prince Rhys spoils My Princess so much! I'm so jealous!] Me: ?? Did Rhys steal Isla Chen's dog last night? But didn't she say in an interview that she was afraid of dogs and would never own one? 3 I scanned the comments. A follower asked her: [Are you and Prince Rhys really together?] Isla didn't reply. A few minutes later, she liked several highly-liked comments wishing her and Prince Rhys a long and happy marriage. This confirmed the rumors that she and Rhys were an item. [My Princess has made it so obvious! The person asking above must be a hater sent by Serena Wu’s team.] [Asking is being a hater? If they're really together, why hide it? I bet they're faking it for clout!] [There must be a reason My Princess isn't admitting it directly. Haters, leave!] [My Princess will announce it on Instagram immediately when she can! Trolls, scram!] The critics were annoyed and jumped over to Rhys’s comment section: [Mr. Shaw, is Isla Chen really your girlfriend?] Rhys quickly replied: [Says who? I don't even know her!!] Isla’s fans (The Princess Crew) were upset: [My Princess will be so sad if she sees you say that.] Rhys immediately retorted: [Why should I care if she’s sad? Also, I don't eat gruel, stop calling her 'Princess Porridge'!] These comments quickly shot to the top. Netizens immediately screenshotted the exchange and posted it on Isla Chen's page: [Stop lying! The Prince says he doesn't know Isla Chen. You are so full of yourself.] The Princess Crew immediately swarmed the comment section: [We told you, he can't confirm yet! Of course, the Prince has to deny it!] [Serena Wu's fans have nothing better to do, always harassing My Princess.] [Just the other day, a famous singer also denied a relationship at first, but later confirmed it and now streams their love life constantly.] My agent saw the trending topics, her face grim. "You and Isla Chen debuted at the same time and both have the 'Independent It-Girl' brand. Your fan bases have always been feuding." "Now that she's connected to Mr. Shaw, she's going to crush you." My brain was overheating. Isla Chen would do anything for attention. She was actually impersonating Rhys’s girlfriend. My agent, seeing I was distracted, tried to console me: "Don't worry too much. I'll try to keep your work separate from Isla Chen's. Today is the final episode of this show, so keep your distance and avoid confrontation." 4 The production RV stopped at the filming location. As soon as I got out, cameras were on me. [Serena Wu's dark circles are terrible. She definitely didn't sleep after Princess Porridge and the Prince made it official, LOL.] [Look how sour she looks. She’s definitely green with envy.] [Did The Princess Crew forget to brush their teeth this morning? So much hostility.] [If Serena Wu tries to steal resources from My Princess again, Mr. Shaw will blacklist her instantly.] [The Prince will be hand-delivering resources to My Princess from now on.] I walked into the villa where we were filming. The other guests were gathered around Isla Chen, sucking up to her. The show is called Let’s Date. It features four men and four women living together for three days and two nights, all filmed live. As soon as I entered, the director focused the camera on Isla Chen and asked if her post with the Prince was an official announcement. "Well..." Isla Chen’s cheeks turned pink. She said shyly: "You'll all know soon enough~" The director, eager to capitalize on the ratings, pressed on: "Can My Princess tell us what happened last night? Was the Prince’s late-night post a sign of affection?" Isla Chen playfully stamped her foot: "He insisted on bringing the dog to keep me company while I film. I said no, so he childishly sneaked the dog out while I was working." I watched Isla Chen's immersive performance, staring at her in disbelief. How could she weave such a detailed story without blinking? I couldn't help but interject: "Didn't you say in an interview that a dog bit you when you were a kid and you'd never own one?" 5 Isla Chen smiled shyly, looking at the camera: "I thought I would never have a dog again, but he gave me such a sense of security that I learned to love dogs again." [OMG!! That is so sweet! My Princess is practically glowing with happiness talking about the Prince.] [My Princess's smile is so sweet. If these two aren't real, I'll never believe in love again.] [How jealous is Serena Wu? She remembers everything My Princess said in an interview. Gross.] [Serena Wu always bullies My Princess! Stealing her screen time! Stealing her resources!!] [Who is the resource thief? My Queen lost that jewelry endorsement to Isla Chen a while ago! And Isla Chen is playing the victim? Give me a break!] [The brand thought My Princess had a better fit. She didn't steal anything!] [Can Mr. Shaw please blacklist Serena Wu already!!] The director watched the live stream numbers explode. He inwardly cheered; the ratings were guaranteed. He was about to delve into how Isla Chen and Rhys met when a production assistant jogged over and whispered something in his ear. The director nodded, his eyes crinkling happily as he looked at Isla Chen: "My Princess, Mr. Shaw sent you a gift. He said it's here to keep its mother company while she films." One of the guests gasped: "Is it the dog?!"
