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.

The Ding Family's Demands
As arranged, Cassia and Old Master Ding met around eight in the evening. The elderly man came to the annex with Talia.
Dark clouds loomed on Cassia and Old Master Ding's faces while Liliana and Talia's countenances expressed their worries.
"Should we talk now, Cassia?" asked Old Master Ding once he saw his niece, his tone carrying a hint of exhaustion, "Just the two of us?"
Cassia nodded once, sharing the same tone as her elderly uncle, "Yes... Come inside..."
Cassia showed Old Master Ding to one of the drawing rooms in the annex. The niece and uncle locked themselves inside, hoping for a private discussion.
Liliana and Talia waited in the hallway. They sat at the alcove near the drawing room. The former seemed tenser than the latter.
Seeing the uneasy look on Liliana's face, Talia gently patted her cousin's back. She understood this issue had been weighing in the young lady's mind.
