[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.

"They're really a match made in heaven," claimed Talia with a fond sigh, her eyes were staring in a direction.
Clapping her hands softly, Liliana shared the same sentiment with her, "They only have eyes on each other."
Liliana and Talia were already seated at their table. It was placed in the third row. The first and second were reserved for the bride and groom's families and relatives.
The two ladies shared a table with a few more guests. Liliana was familiar with them although they were lesser than acquaintances. They were the ones she could be amiable with, unlike some people like Irene and Janice.
Right now, Alvin and Shaelyn were walking down the pastel peach carpet laid in the middle of the open-structure, heading to an elevated platform in the front.
The bride and groom sneaked glances and smiles at each other, showing how much they were in love. Affection was glowing from their countenances. It was as if they were in their own world.
