[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.

"Sorry. I need to drag you with me when it's your day off," said Liliana after she and the other person got off the cab.
Lucas chuckled as he heard Liliana's words. He gave her a glance while replying, "I was bored to death. Luckily, you called for me, Boss Xin."
Today was Monday. CafeOrama opened its doors at seven in the morning. It was also Lucas' day off for the week.
Throughout the time until now, Liliana had never bothered Lucas when he was on his day off despite he lived upstairs of the cafe building.
Every staff needed their own break. Unfortunately, she had to do it today.
Liliana and Lucas headed to the art and party supply store mentioned by Nancy before. They wanted to pick the necessary items for Willow's upcoming birthday party.
Liliana also wished to get more things as a backup if there were customers requesting to do a celebration. Perhaps for a simple birthday party or anything, unless they asked for something customized.
