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.

Just Be Careful Not To Faint In Anger
Liliana subtly glanced around her. She was relieved because none of the tables nearby were occupied by the patrons. She didn't want any of them to hear the nonsense spouted by Deanna.
Liliana's eyes fell on Lucas at the barista corner nearby. She was a bit surprised to see the young man there. She didn't notice when he appeared.
When Lucas took a step toward her, Liliana slowly shook her head. She made a hand gesture, telling him not to come.
The young man stopped but, he didn't move away from that spot.
Liliana raised her brows. She should listen to what made Deanna come here for the very first time. Surely it was an unpleasant experience.
Clasping her hands together, Liliana put them on her lap. Her face was calm, a stark contrast to Deanna's agitated expression.
"What have I done this time? Are you referring to Dylan's incident? Are you still insisting that I played a part in it?"
