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.

Occasionally, Went Back To Basics

"I sense something."
The mysterious tone yet with a hint of playfulness attracted Lucas' attention. Without looking away from the cake he was decorating, he threw a question to the owner of the voice.
"Why? Do you suddenly gain the sixth sense?"
When Mr. Jin clicked his tongue at the answer, Lucas stifled his laughter.
Right now, Lucas was inside one of the baking kitchens at Dewsbury Culinary Institute. Instead of just sharing his tips, Mr. Jin told the former to step inside the kitchen and bake a simple dessert.
"We tend to focus on gaining or perfecting the complex skills. It's not entirely bad but, sometimes, it's better to occasionally go back to the basics."
Lucas agreed with Mr. Jin when the lecturer with decades of experience under his belt came up with the advice. It was almost the same one the late Grandpa Chen bestowed on him almost one decade ago.
