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.

Starry Milky Way Tartlets

||Lucas||

After finishing his tasks for the day, Lucas washed his hands and headed to the fridge. He took out a container of tartlets he made this morning. Three were placed on a small plate.

"Will she love these?" murmured Lucas to himself.

Lucas believed in his skills but, he was still anxious to present his new creations to Liliana. These tartlets were special for Night of Sevens Festival event that would be held early next month.

"Silly me."

Shaking his head, Lucas went to get a drink to be paired together with the tartlets. He brewed a pot of tea, the faint scent lingered for a moment in the baking kitchen.

With the tartlets and a glass of iced black tea, Lucas made his way to Liliana's office. He balanced the tray with one hand while using the other one to knock on the door.

"Come in."
