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..”
She left
Mingwa's heart pounded as she bolted from the car, her legs carrying her as fast as they could. She half-expected to hear Taewoo's car door slam open and his footsteps pounding behind her, but no such sound came. Instead, the car engine quietly roared to life, and when she glanced back, she saw him driving off, as if he hadn't just issued one of the most chilling threats she'd ever heard.
She didn't stop running until she reached a taxi parked at the curb. Breathless and frazzled, she climbed in, quickly giving the driver her address. As the taxi pulled away, Mingwa's mind raced. *I have to get away, before he decides to trap me for good.* Her phone buzzed in her hand, but she ignored it. It was likely Jihoon, wondering what had happened. Or worse, it could be Taewoo. She couldn't deal with either of them now.
