Get Rid of Him
[COMPLETED] ---------- "For ten years, I have loved you in vain. Now, my love has withered." Liliana Xin was treated like wallpaper in her four years of marriage with her CEO husband Asher Shen, despite her best efforts to build a happy home. She thought she could endure his neglect, but when a miscarriage got her nothing but a cold shoulder from her husband, Liliana decided enough was enough! "Divorce me this instant." What's the use of wallowing in self-pity? Shouldn't she be her own boss and lead a life without begging for a man's love anymore? It was time for her to squeeze out massive alimony from this apathetic man and leave to become a successful woman on her own! On her healing journey, Liliana crossed paths with Lucas Liu. The younger man had the same forlorn look in his eyes, reminding Liliana of her misery. "Join me. I'll make you more powerful." She promised, wanting to save him to repay him for his kindness. He was there for her at her lowest. With Lucas and her friends, Liliana continued moving forward. She didn't look back at the people who had never cherished her. They were no longer important to her. But there's someone that wasn't happy with this new development. Asher reappeared, his frosty cold mask was replaced with deep regret and longing. "I was wrong. Please, come back! I'll do anything!" Liliana scoffed, turning her back on her first love. She won't repeat the same mistake of loving him ever again. ------------ WSA 2023 Entry: Billionaire/CEO/Mafia Exclusive cover by @khaizusan (Instagram) Tags: slowburn, weaktostrong, boss-subordinate, divorce Please note that the characters are not OP from the start.

****************************
Two patrol police of the neighborhood arrived a few minutes after Lucas stopped the customer from hitting Liliana. It turned out Mrs. Fu already called the authorities earlier.
Through the hidden CCTV footage, the man was indeed the one at fault.
He moved his hand to touch Edith's bum when she was delivering his drink. The red berry juice soaked into his shirt when she tried dodging him.
It was not the man's only offense toward Edith.
From the first time she interacted with him, he had been giving Edith smiles laced with inappropriate meaning. He also grasped her wrist when Edith was putting down his plate of food.
The man was troublesome from the start.
"Miss Edith Jin, you can rest assured now."
Still shocked by the events, Edith weakly hummed.
