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.

Lunch was a private time between Liliana, Talia and Old Master Ding. None of the helpers, including the butler stood waiting for them in the dining room. The former was able to act as freely as she wanted.
Liliana didn't bring up the good news during lunch. Mostly she asked about Old Master Ding's well-being. She also mentioned that she contacted Former Patriarch Ding several times whenever the old man was conscious.
"Great-grandpa looks healthier," commented Liliana with a smile. She clipped some stir-fried chicken cubes and put them into her rice bowl, "I hope I can see him again soon."
That was Liliana's wish. The huge distance between the two countries was not an obstacle to her.
Even though Former Patriarch Ding seemed as if he had regained some vitality, Liliana was aware that the old man was still weak. She wished to get to spend more time with him before the unavoidable arrived.
