[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.

The three days came quickly.
Not only Old Madam Shen and Madam Ma stepped foot in Liliana's apartment but, Albert and Talia were also there.
Liliana introduced the elders to Talia before moving on to her next agenda. She let them see the letters, photo albums and Cassia's diaries. The pouch was left aside for a while.
During the meeting, Liliana exposed her new knowledge about Cassia and Thomas' secret and short marriage to Old Madam Shen and Madam Ma. At the same time, she told Albert about her relationship with the Ding family.
As expected, all three of them were shocked by the discoveries. Tears and sadness followed, coming from Old Madam Shen and Madam Ma. Liliana tried to comfort them before saying her final piece.
"I'll go reclaim my place in the Ding family and make up for the injustice my mother has to bear."
Old Madam Shen and Madam Ma glanced at each other. Her eyes were still teary.
