[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 a night of thinking, Lucas decided to go through with his resignation plan. Instead of quitting on the spot, he planned to give two weeks' notice to the supervisor.
But, everything still depended on how things unfold today.
"Good morning."
Lucas quietly entered the backdoor of the cafe, greeting the staff in the kitchen as usual.
But, the weird gazes thrown in his direction confirmed his suspicions that today might be a stressful and chaotic one for him.
After all, the staff group chat was buzzing with the news of Lucas being detained by police last night.
A few of them expressed their concern, saying he was being defamed but, there were still people who already viewed him as a criminal.
"Wow... he acts as if nothing happened."
"Hush! We don't know the truth yet."
"What? I heard that woman is his ex. Who knows, he's still salty about their breakup?"
