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.

Vulnerability When Midnight Was Ushered In
Liliana couldn't conceal her excitement after hearing Nancy's story. Slapping her friend's thigh, she exclaimed, "So good, ah! Wow! I don't expect that!"
Her laughter bounced off the walls, the sound was so cheerful as if she hadn't encountered anything unpleasant earlier. Nadia, Nancy and Lucas watched Liliana with relieved smiles.
Lucas looked at his wristwatch. He got up from the seat, "It's getting late. I should go home now."
"Ah, yes," Liliana focused on the young man. Smiling, she thanked him, "We can't do this smoothly without you. Thank you, Mr. Liu, for being our partner in crime."
Those words tickled Lucas' heart. Laughing softly, he shrugged, "Should I feel ashamed that you paid me so much for this skit? I don't think I've done enough actually."
"It's fine, ah," Nadia interjected, waving her hand randomly, "Let this rich woman pay you. If not for you, I had to deal with those bastards alone."
