Contract Marriage: Fake Dating My Showbiz Wife
**Fake dating?…what could possibly go wrong** Kim Mingwa is a struggling D-list artist whose career is hanging by a thread. Desperate to keep her place in the spotlight, she accidentally finds herself entangled with the most notorious playboy in the industry—the CEO of the number one entertainment company in the country. Known for his bad reputation and inflated ego, the CEO is the last person she wants to be associated with, but when a scandal between them explodes in the media, they’re forced to fake a relationship to salvage both their careers. --- Kim Mingwa stared in horror at the headline: *Scandal Erupts Between D-List Actress and Industry’s Bad Boy CEO!* “This isn’t happening,” she whispered, her voice shaking. Beside her, the CEO only smirked, completely unfazed. “Welcome to showbiz, Miss Kim.” Mingwa glared at him. “You think this is funny? My career is on the line!” “It’s simple,” he replied, his tone cold. “Play along, or get left behind.” She clenched her fists, knowing she was trapped. “Fine,” she muttered. “But don’t think you can easily take advantage of me.” His smirk widened. “I wouldn’t dream of it..”
What a messy dinner
"Just… think about it, okay?" He paused, his thumb brushing over her knuckles.
Mingwa's whispered, "I'll do my best to distance myself from them," but Taewoo wasn't having it.
"No." His voice was firm, cutting through the silence like a blade. He turned fully toward her, his eyes hard and unrelenting. "You don't 'distance yourself,' Mingwa. You do it now. Cut them off, or I'll do it for you."
She stared at him, shocked by his ultimatum. "What do you mean?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
"I mean, if you don't do it, I will. I'll make sure they can't reach you, can't hurt you anymore. Those people—your so-called family—they've done enough damage. And I won't stand by while they tear you apart again."
