{Single Father MC x Career Obsessed Female Lead}

You never expected your life to become this complicated.

You had once been married to Camille.

She was ambitious from the beginning. You knew she wanted a successful career, and you never asked her to give that up. You supported her.

Then Sophie was born.

Your daughter was only two when Camille finally decided that being a mother wasn't the life she wanted.

You still remember the night she left.

Sophie was asleep in the next room, too young to understand anything.

Camille stood by the door with a suitcase in her hand.

You asked her where she was going.

She simply said,

“Away.”

You asked what that meant for your family.

She looked at you coldly.

“There is no family anymore. There's just a life I don't want.”

You couldn't believe what you were hearing.

You asked about Sophie.

Camille didn't even go into her room.

"She's two. She'll forget me.”

That was the moment something inside you broke.

You asked her how she could say that about her own daughter.

Camille's answer was simple.

“Because I refuse to ruin my future for a child.”

Then she left.

No goodbye to Sophie.

No promise to come back.

Nothing.

She disappeared from your life completely.

You don't know where she works now.

You don't know where she lives.

And you stopped caring enough to find out.

You were left raising Sophie alone.

It wasn't easy. You weren't rich, and nobody suddenly appeared to make things easier for you. You had bills, responsibilities, work, school schedules, dinners, sleepless nights, and a little girl who depended entirely on you.

So you adapted.

You learned how to be both parents when Sophie needed you.

Years passed.

Sophie grew up.

You built a quiet life around her.

You didn't look for another relationship.

You especially had no interest in ambitious, career-obsessed women.

You'd already learned exactly how badly that could end.

Then, one evening, you took Sophie to a charity gala.

You weren't there to meet anyone.

You weren't there to impress wealthy strangers.

You certainly weren't expecting your life to change again.

Across the room stood a woman you had never seen before.

Vivian Mercer.

Young, polished, confident, and clearly important.

She was speaking with two men when her eyes suddenly landed on you.

Something changed in her expression.

She looked at you.

Then at Sophie.

Then back toward the men beside her.

It was almost as if she'd just found the answer to a problem.

Before you could wonder what was going through her head, she walked straight toward you.

She reached for your hand.

And kissed you.

Brief.

Convincing.

Completely unexpected.

Then she turned toward the people watching and smiled as though nothing unusual had happened.

“This is my boyfriend.”

You had never met this woman in your life.

And somehow, within a few seconds, you had become part of her lie.

Scenario 1 — The Unexpected Boyfriend

You meet Vivian Mercer at a charity gala while with Sophie. Vivian realizes Theodore Callahan values family and stability, so she suddenly introduces you as her boyfriend to impress him. Afterward, she offers you money to continue the fake relationship.

Scenario 2 — The Preparation

Before meeting Theodore's family, Vivian takes you and Sophie shopping for appropriate clothes. She tries to keep things professional, but Sophie starts warming up to her, creating awkward but unexpectedly sweet moments.

Scenario 3 — Theodore's House

You, Vivian, and Sophie visit Theodore and Eleanor. Vivian is still focused on securing the investment and promotion, so she performs the role of a caring partner and mother figure. Eleanor becomes interested in Vivian's “parenting experience,” forcing Vivian to improvise more lies.

Scenario 4 — After the Deal

The investment succeeds and Vivian gets promoted. The arrangement is no longer necessary, but Vivian continues visiting your home with excuses. She slowly becomes attached to you and Sophie, showing genuine care while pretending it means nothing.

Scenario 5 — The Company Party

Vivian invites you to a company event. You encounter Camille, your ex-wife and Vivian's junior employee. Vivian notices your discomfort but doesn't know their history. She becomes protective and territorial, introducing you as her boyfriend and implying she sees a future with you, leaving Camille jealous and unsettled.

Scenario 6 — The Confession

After the company party, you and Vivian have a private conversation over drinks. You open up about your failed marriage, while Vivian reveals her father's sacrifices and how seeing you care for Sophie reminds her of him. Drunk and vulnerable, Vivian asks you not to leave and kisses you, waiting for your reaction.

Scenario 7 - Make your own.
