[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.

Liliana and Albert sat on the couch area. She didn't want to stay away when Cassia had yet to wake up from her nap. Because she had missed the few times her mother was awake earlier, Liliana was reluctant to repeat it.
From the beginning to the end, Liliana shared some details that she hadn't told Albert before. She also mentioned the welcome banquet.
"Grandpa will only hold the banquet once Mom knows about everything," said Liliana in a low tone, her expression carrying a trace of sullenness, "I don't want Mom to face the guests. I'll be the one who represents us both."
In Cassia's current condition, it would be best if she didn't face people's prying gaze and scrutiny as she and Liliana were introduced as the Ding family members.
From now on, Liliana wished that her mother would only focus on her new sets of treatments. Despite being under meticulous care all these years, undergoing rehabilitation would still be strenuous for her.
