[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.

Liliana stayed in the cafe until half-past five in the late afternoon. She wanted to go to Misty Vale Sanatorium before going back to Spring Garden Apartment.
Both her mental and physical states needed a full recharge after an eventful day.
CafeOrama's operations went smoothly as if the previous incident didn't happen, much to Liliana's relief. She filled in Edith's absence when needed.
Mrs. Fu had already clocked out, and so did Harris. The former was replaced by Jeffrey who was now holding fort in the kitchen.
Nancy was preparing to go home soon. Her shift also had ended.
"Immediately call me if there's anything," Liliana reminded Jeffrey and Alex. They talked in the kitchen, "I just hope the thing that happened to Edith won't repeat again."
Both men were already notified of the incident.
