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.

"Put it down."
The maid put the ceramic bowl on the coffee table opposite Asher. A herbal scent wafted in the air, coming from the soup.
Bending over slightly, Asher picked up the lid that covered the soup. A common-looking soup was revealed to his eyesight.
There was nothing extraordinary but, Asher couldn't help but have a sinking feeling when he looked at the soup.
Throughout his childhood to adulthood, his mother Shelley had never done something like this. Only his grandmother cared enough about him getting additional nutrition from a variety of soups and tonics.
"You can leave now," said Asher to the maid. He wanted to resume reading for a bit more before taking a bath.
The maid bit her lower lip, appearing slightly anxious. Her gaze went from the soup to Asher who started reading the book again.
Despite knowing how frigid he was, the maid remained standing there.
