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.

Lack Of Money But, Full Of Warmth
Seeing the relieved look on Alfie's youthful face softened Liliana's smile. It was so different from how anxious he appeared the first time he stepped inside the office with Harris earlier.
Maybe, just maybe that the teenager had been wearing such a worn-out look for a long time, beginning after the disaster that befell his father.
Such young ones like Alfie and Harris shouldn't bear the weight of the world. But, more often than not, they had no other option aside from shouldering the burden.
It was impossible for Liliana or anyone else to alleviate the load on every children's back all around the world but, a helping hand should still be extended to anyone they could assist. It was better than nothing.
"Alfie," Liliana gently called the teenager's name.
Both Alfie and Harris paid attention to the older woman sitting opposite them. The wisdom she carried lured them to her, hoping to receive more.
