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 Endearing Promise

'I'm sorry, Lili. I don't want to... remind you of your pain, but... I can't imagine what you will feel on that day.'

"I hope I can be with you but... I'll be thousands of miles away."

Liliana replayed Lucas' words from this morning in her mind while alone in her bedroom. Biting her lower lip, she unconsciously clenched the blanket covering her frame, uncertainty prodding into her heart.

This was the very first time Lucas brought up anything about the child Liliana lost on that fateful snowy night. It was a subject she wouldn't ever bring it up herself unless it was absolutely necessary.

Within two weeks after Liliana learned about the child's existence in her womb, she was over the moon, delighted to know she would have a child with Asher.

Liliana thought the child would help strengthen their fragile marriage, something she ashamedly admitted was a foolish move later.
