[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.

The next day, Lucas went to the class as usual. It would begin at eight. The time right now was half-past seven in the morning.
After his victory, his surroundings changed quite rapidly.
Lucas' fellow classmates treated him better after his winning in the Dewsbury Bake-off. They were still impressed to know how Lucas and Ethan from another class managed to reach the final and win second place.
"Yo! Brother Luke!" Jayden waved a hand at the approaching Lucas, "How's the party yesterday? Did you get a gift?"
Brian and Violet also were looking at him. All of them knew that he went out for a celebration with his boss and other future colleagues.
Smiling, Lucas showed his left wrist. His expression was a mixture of joy and pride for himself.
"Wow! That's a good watch ah!" exclaimed Brian excitedly, "How nice, Brother Luke. You must be so happy now."
Lucas only smiled.
