[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.

Liliana, Nancy and Nadia woke up around one in the afternoon. They refreshed themselves by taking a quick shower and changing into clean clothes. Then, the three friends headed out of the hotel room.
"The restaurant's over there," said Nadia while pointing in a direction. All of them entered the sunflower field.
"Ah, I'm famished," Nancy smacked her tummy, grinning sheepishly, "That nap was so good. I've fully recharged now."
Liliana laughed as she heard Nancy's words. While tying her long hair with the chiffon scrunchie she received from Alfie before, she replied to her friend.
"You slept like a log. You're the one who went to sleep first but, you're the last to wake up."
Nadia flung her arm across Nancy's shoulders. Raising her brows, she jokingly said, "Did you dream of your prince charming? You hugged the pillow like someone's crazy in love ah."
"W-what? Nadia!"
