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 Stare Hidden By The Crowd
Most guests were already accustomed to the gift-opening session. It was a routine during Katherine's birthday banquet.
The other madams were brownnosing to Katherine, praising her beauty and wishing that she only got presents that befitting her charm. The woman of the hour beamed with a smile listening to all the praises.
"Mom~ I'm here!"
Liliana disinterestedly stared at Deanna who got on stage with a gift box in her hands. Joshua followed next to her. As an engaged couple, they tended to give the present together.
As how Liliana did with Asher for four years before.
If Liliana invited Asher out to look for Katherine's gift, he often rejected it, telling Liliana to just go alone and use the card provided.
Liliana subtly glanced around. She didn't see even a glimpse of her former husband.
Maybe Asher had gone home. It didn't benefit him to stay longer in this event. After all, they were no longer married.
