[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.

"...I'm hungry."
Liliana's weary voice rang above the soft rippling of water in the tub. Turning her head behind, her drowsy eyes caught the soft smile tugging on Lucas' lips – contrasting to how domineering he looked an hour ago.
Men were all beasts ah.
No matter how gentle they were in their daily lives, they abruptly changed once they entangled with their lovers in bed.
But, she wouldn't deny that she enjoyed every moment of being pleasured by him. He made feel as if she was his goddess, the only one he worshipped.
Chuckles escaped Lucas' lips, sensing how tired Liliana was. He gently massaged her shoulders, feeling the stiffness of her upper back.
The warm bath concealed them from the coolness of the night. The bright washroom lights accentuated the red marks scattering on her arms, neck and back, all were his creations of art earlier.
