[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.

Exhausted from all the playing, Liliana and Lucas headed out of the game arcade, looking for any eatery around the area. The beach was not too overcrammed with visitors, allowing them to move freely.
"There's a cafe there," Lucas lifted up a hand, pointing at the tall rocky hill not far from where they stood, "The view is great. We can see most of the beach."
What else Liliana's reply should be? Even with a simple description, it was enough to entice her interest.
"That's nice. Let's go."
Liliana and Lucas slowly climbed the narrow stairs as they took in the gorgeous view. The higher they walked up, the better the scenery became.
Puffy clouds drifted as they got blown by the wind, adding white colors to the blue canvas of the sky. From a distance, a flock of seagulls soared through the air, flapping their majestic white wings.
"The view is so pretty," murmured Liliana in contentment.
