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.

[Bonus Chapter] This Would Be The Last Meal He Cooked For Them
That morning, Linda walked down the hallway smelling the delicious scent coming from the kitchen. Without asking who, she knew Lucas prepared breakfast today as well.
'Good. At least he knows to use his useless skills to cook.'
Linda covered her yawning mouth, feeling happy inside because she didn't need to cook this morning. Even though she never verbally admitted to it, her eldest son's had marvelous cooking and baking skills.
So, what if he possessed those levels of skills?
Linda wouldn't ever acknowledge it. She didn't want to push her eldest son deeper into those futile fields.
Despite knowing there were many successful and excellent male chefs outside, she simply thought Lucas wouldn't ever be one.
Linda simply thought her job as a mother was not to encourage Lucas to do something worthless. It was better if he just focused on being a civil servant.
Those baking and cooking should just be forgotten.
