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.

At The Dance Floor
Katherine stood with Thomas on an elevated platform. She was holding a microphone, her lips curling up into a graceful smile. She would begin giving her speech to the guests.
Liliana and the others moved closer to the stage. As per the usual practice, they would head to the dance floor after Katherine's speech.
Thomas and Katherine would have the opening dance, followed by Deanna and her fiance. Esther, Selena, Albert and Dylan usually would sit out the dance.
Liliana used to forgo the dance too until her marriage to Asher. Surprisingly, he was willing to comply with the routine after being requested by Thomas once.
But, it seemed like she would start to pass up dancing again starting this year. Not that Liliana minded about it.
Liliana disliked being scrutinized by the guests during the dance. She only endured it just because she could be close to Asher when the waltz music was playing.
