[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.

Waking up the next morning, an immense sense of peace enveloped Liliana. She rolled on her right side, cuddling with Mr. Peach, groaning before she changed to the left side. Her dark locks sprawled on the peach-colored pillow.
"En... I don't want to get up..."
Liliana squinted her eyes shut several times. She quickly pressed her mouth against the plush toy when a yawn threatened to escape. Shaking her head, she let out another groan before suddenly sat up.
While rubbing one of her eyes, Liliana took a peek at the wall clock. She was not surprised to see it was nearing nine-thirty. She did go to sleep last night without setting up any alarm.
Bringing her legs to the floor, Liliana reached out for her phone. She wanted to see if there were any messages or calls, especially from her mother and granduncle's side.
Aside from morning wishes, there was nothing urgent.
