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'm Being Pretentious?
A few days later, Liliana, Nancy and Nadia gathered in Spring Garden Apartment. It was Saturday night. Nadia would have a sleepover there.
"Lili, what's bothering you?"
Nancy's voice cut through Liliana's train of thought. Blinking her eyes, she looked up and stared at her two friends. Both Nancy and Nadia were looking at her.
"Err... what?"
Liliana put down the chopsticks she used to eat the popcorn chicken. The small box of chicken was held in her left hand. Many were still left.
Nancy tilted her head. More words flowed out of her mouth.
"I noticed that you always lose focus somehow. Is there something troubling you?"
Even though Nancy was busy with her job, she still paid attention to her friend. During their time together before she headed to work, she perceived that Liliana was hiding something.
