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.

His Younger Brother Was A Grownup Already
Linda woke up again in the late afternoon. Lucas and Kevin ensured their mother was well-fed before letting her rest again. All the fresh injuries weakened her middle-aged body.
Linda had difficulty eating by herself because of her broken right arm. She also needed help to go to the toilet.
Kevin carefully fed Linda with the congee delivered by the hospital staff. Lucas wanted to get some by himself but, the nurses told him not to. They did that to reduce the risk of infection being brought inside the ICU.
"Big Brother, you should return to your place now," said Kevin after they went out of the ICU again, "Didn't you need to make pre-ordered cakes for tomorrow?"
Because their mother had regained consciousness, Kevin was not as tense as before. He also was reminded of his initial vow to lessen his elder brother's burden as much as possible.
