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.

Inside The Abandoned Warehouse
Liliana held herself back from coughing when an onslaught of thick dust and mildew smell attacked her the first time she stepped inside the warehouse. Her feet occasionally landed on the small piles of debris.
Gilbert didn't say anything as he brought her deeper into the warehouse.
The interior of the warehouse was dim, only lit up by a few bulbs producing orange lights. From the broken windows, shafts of lights filter in through. Dark shadows were cast on the floor.
'Where's Nancy?'
Liliana pursed her lips, frowning because she couldn't see Nancy anywhere yet.
"Oh~ Gilbert! That woman looks delicious!"
Startled by the mocking laughter, Liliana abruptly turned her head to the left side.
Three men were sitting on the dirty floor with beer cans and other alcoholic beverage bottles scattered around them. They were partially hidden by the piles of torn cardboard boxes and broken furniture.
