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..”
That's all I ever wanted
The door swung open with a soft click, and Taewoo stepped into the room with a calm expression that made Mingwa's heart race. He looked around, taking in the disarray as though it pleased him. The sun was setting outside, casting an orange hue that danced across the walls, but the atmosphere inside felt cold and suffocating.
"Mingwa," he said, his voice smooth but edged with authority. "I hope you've had time to think."
She stood frozen, her suitcase clutched tightly in her hands. "I didn't ask for this," she replied, trying to keep her voice steady.
"Didn't you? You ran away from everything, did you think that would be enough to escape from my grasp," Taewoo replied, taking a few steps toward her. His expression was unreadable, but there was a glint in his eye that made her uneasy. "You think you can just leave without consequences?"
"I'm not going back with you," she insisted, her heart pounding in her chest.
