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 Lies And Deceit Brought Doom To Their Lives
The scorching heat of the summer sun cooled under the abundance of leaves hanging above Liliana and Lucas. The soft streaks of light fell upon them.
Lucas and Liliana sat on a bench tens of meters away from the center of the playground. In the short distance, they saw a happy bunch of children playing with their friends.
Their joyful laughter reverberated in the air, followed by the echo of their footsteps.
"This neighborhood is really nice. No wonder you chose to move in here."
Lucas' words brought Liliana's eyes to him. The image of his side profile was caught by her gaze, embedded into her mind.
"I used to live here with my mom before," Liliana retracted her eyes from Lucas' face, now looking at the little turnip heads having fun in front of them, "Thankfully there's a good sanatorium for her here."
Liliana's mind wandered to the day she had a conversation with Dr. Andrew Fang, the one who was responsible for her mother.
