[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, Talia and Old Master Ding decided to put the matter regarding the Guan family to the back of their minds. None of them wanted to focus on that, at least not now.
Whether Old Master Guan waited in anxiety or not, it was not their problem. Liliana and Talia heard that he returned to the west on the next day after their second meeting, along with Old Madam Guan and Ms Tan.
No one knew when they would meet again or perhaps, it wouldn't ever happen.
In a few days, Friday came. Despite not being the weekend yet, Liliana and Cassia didn't go to work on that day.
The cousins brought Cassia, Old Master Ding and Former Patriarch Ding to Whistling Creek for the picnic. Considering they had three frail and sickly people in the group, Liliana and Talia needed to make sure the elders were comfortable.
