[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.

Liliana happily had lunch and chatted with Old Madam Shen and Madam Ma.
She would have never thought that something had happened between Old Madam Shen and Asher last night. She also would never know how the old lady had stood by her side, firmly refusing her own grandson's request.
To Old Madam Shen, Lilina would not need to know. She wanted the young lady to enjoy her newly built life now. That was the most important thing.
But, both Old Madam Shen and Madam Ma didn't know that Liliana was facing trouble now. They were caught off guard the first time she mentioned it.
Liliana began telling Old Madam Shen and Madam Ma about the problem with Charlie Dai.
Not everything regarding the case was relayed to the old ladies. Liliana only told them a few important pieces related to the case, including what the man had done to Edith and the threat directed at the young staff's family.
