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 Uneasiness Continued Prodding Into Her Heart
Linda's face was a blotchy mess as she slowly calmed down. She also no longer minded Lucas' presence there. Her focus was more on her husband's infidelity.
Lucas handed a tissue to Linda, saying quietly, "Wipe your face, Mother. We can talk later."
"Yeah, Mom, drink some water too," Kevin brought out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack. After uncapping the bottle, he pushed it to his mother's right hand.
Linda silently accepted the tissue and the mineral water. After blowing up her nose and wiping her tear-stricken face, she moistened her parched throat with the drink. Her face was still quite red but, it was acceptable.
In silence, Linda threw her gaze around the playground. There were more people at the beach than before but, the place was still basically empty compared to when summer break started.
