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 Little Time Between Them
As per Lucas' worry at the start of his relationship with Liliana, he didn't have much time to spare once he joined the event preparations for the Queen's Crown Hotel. He spent most of his time there instead of CafeOrama.
Liliana hired a part-time pastry chef for the time being, as suggested by Ethan who had more friends in this field. The new pastry chef was Deborah Mo, one of the young man's longtime acquaintances.
Deborah or rather be addressed as Debbie had just finished her study at the culinary school. Because she wanted to get more experience and earn funds before opening a home bakery, she accepted the part-time job offer.
Liliana hoped Lucas could fully focus on the hotel event with this new arrangement instead of dividing what little was left of his time between the cafe and the hotel. His resting time was also compromised.
"I'm sorry, Lili. I haven't brought you out for a proper date."
