[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.

After her discussion with Talia yesterday, Liliana actually didn't have the mood to go to CafeOrama. But, a request from Lucas sprinkled some happiness in her heart thus uplifting her mood.
Driven by Mr. Chi there, Liliana arrived at Springfield Town at a quarter to nine in the morning. Even though it was Sunday, people already filled the streets. Most of them were dressed in stylish autumn outfits.
"Thank you, Mr. Chi. I might return with a cab tonight or, just stay at my apartment."
Liliana opened the car door slightly while telling Mr. Chi about her plan for the day. The driver nodded in understanding.
"Be careful, Fourth Young Miss. Still, call me if you don't feel like getting a cab. This old man will come to get you even in the wee hours."
"Hehe, an old man should go to bed early ah. Bye-bye, Mr. Chi."
