[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.

After a series of more questions, Lucas was released on bail. Attorney Su managed to rule out a few suspicious points and firmly indicated that the young man was falsely accused.
"No signs of struggle, the bruises on Miss Mu's body are deduced to be old and the questionable ripping of her shirt. Mr. Liu insisted he has never touched Miss Mu even once. If there's really no his fingerprints on her and the items, shouldn't that speak volumes?"
The police officer was forced to bow down and agree with Attorney Su. The witnesses looked to be so stupefied as they heard the defense coming from Attorney Su.
After filling up some papers, Lucas followed Liliana and the attorney out of the office.
They didn't cross paths with Daphne at all. She had been picked up by Nolan who never stepped foot inside the station.
The clock was pointing to a quarter past nine. Lucas had to forgo tonight's class. He was entirely drained by what had just fallen on him.
