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.

Is That You, Luna?
As Liliana and Talia were immersed in their conversation, they didn't notice that Former Patriarch Ding had stirred awake. The sickly elderly man's gaze was blurred as his eyes moved slowly from Talia to Liliana.
"G-Great-grandpa! You're awake!"
Surprised, Talia stuttered. She got up from her chair, abruptly leaning closer toward the bed. She began scanning the expression on Former Patriarch Ding's face, trying to catch if there was any discomfort.
At the same time, Liliana was frozen in shock. She didn't expect to see Former Patriarch Ding waking up as she and Talia talking next to his bed. Her eyes were locked on the old man.
For the first time in a few days, Liliana watched Former Patriarch Ding's eyes blinking instead of only closing.
Former Patriarch Ding shifted his eyes from Talia to the other young lady. His wrinkly lips shivered. His voice was imbued in tremor when he finally spoke.
"Luna... is that you?"
