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..”
Your choice now
Taewoo took a slow breath, his gaze finally softening. "Fine," he said, his voice steadier, almost reluctant. "I'll let you make your own decisions, Mingwa. When we get back, I'll have the contract nullified. You'll be free from any ties to me. You can focus on your acting, your career… everything you've been wanting."
Her hands trembled as she loosened her grip on the knife, a mix of disbelief and relief crossing her face. She studied him, waiting for any sign he might pull the offer back.
Taewoo grabbed her by the waist, pulling her away from him as he stood up, glancing away for a moment, he spoke up. "All I'm asking," he continued quietly, "is that you come back and finish what you started with the film. Chase your dream. I'll stay out of the way."
Mingwa blinked at him, genuinely confused. "Why now? Why give me this freedom?"
