[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.

Following Old Master Ding's wish, Liliana and Talia headed to Old Master Guan and his wife's residence in the capital the next day.
They could just simply call the Guan spouses because the gathering would be a short one. But, the cousins decided to meet them face to face.
Liliana and Talia went there before ten in the morning. Old Master Guan and Old Madam Guan were already informed of their coming through Ms Tan. Tension shrouded in the air between the cousins.
"Haa... I hope I won't get mad at them when we talk soon."
Talia's strained voice broke the uncomfortable silence in the car. Liliana glanced at her cousin, she unconsciously clasped her hands together.
"We're the same," replied Liliana quietly. A frown marred her forehead, "We surely can't fake smiling. I don't have the mood for that."
