[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 dining room was enveloped in an eerie silence before Dylan broke it. Like his parents and sisters, his face expressed his shock but, not in an unpleasant way like the others.
"Wait, Second Uncle," Dylan blinked his eyes a few times, still taking time to register the words coming from Albert's mouth, "What do you mean by that? Sister Lili wasn't there last night. How could she save me?"
Dylan still remembered that Liliana made it clear that she wouldn't attend the banquet. He was slightly disappointed but, he understood why his elder sister refused. They agreed to spend some time together later.
"Albert, explained further," Thomas had come out of his shock. Frowning, he wanted answers from his younger brother, "What do you mean that Dylan has to thank Liliana?"
"Yes. You said she was the one who told you about Dylan. How come?" asked Katherine in displeasure. She disliked how her younger brother-in-law brought up that name.
