[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.

Since when did he was there?
Where's Nancy?
Liliana parted her lips, wanting to say something to Lucas but, no words came out of her mouth. She watched him coming closer before he served the drinks and desserts on the table.
"Have some. You two are still growing," Lucas put a plate of caramel pudding with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top in front of Harris and Alfie each, "You'll burn all this food in just a matter of time."
"Aiya, we know that we're still growing," Harris pretended to scowl, "We need to be taller and bulkier. Should we make you our idol, Mr. Liu? You're tall, handsome and so fit."
"Stinky brat," Lucas lightly knocked Harris' head, "Stop talking so much."
Harris grinned. He quickly dragged the blank Liliana into the conversation.
"Isn't that right, Miss Xin? Shouldn't I follow Mr. Liu? Don't you think he's fit, tall and handsome?"
"...what?" Liliana blinked, didn't expect to be pulled into a mess by Harris.
