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.

Do You Think I'll Be A Good Boss For You?
"Miss Xin... can you repeat..."
Liliana's smile softened looking at Lucas' flustered expression. With his disheveled appearance now, somehow he looked his age instead of appearing as a more mature man.
"I'm sorry for surprising you," Liliana laughed, "The idea came to me when I tried your baked goods the other day."
The butter cake and chocolate chip cookies were up to Liliana's palate. Even though she had been tasting refined cuisines from well-known chefs worldwide, she found comfort in the small token of remembrance Lucas gave her.
"Err...isn't that too... extreme?"
Lucas couldn't understand why his act of giving the baked goods to Liliana resulted in her asking him to pursue studies in Paris. He mentioned how much he enjoyed crafting cakes and pastries, but he never talked about studying them professionally.
Well... was this how rich folks acting? She could even give him a massive sum of money for his little help.
