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.

[Bonus Chapter] Her Granduncle's Immense Influence And Power
Before heading back to Cassia's private ward, Liliana contacted Lucas. He might have been waiting for the new update from her. But, both of her calls were left unanswered.
"Maybe he's riding his bike," whispered Liliana. She could only tell of that reason.
When Lucas asked whether she wanted him to continue staying at the hotel or not, Liliana politely refused. She didn't want to involve him in this matter any longer. His heavy tasks for the banquet might also have used up most of his energy already.
Before stepping into the lobby, Liliana sent some texts to Lucas.
[Liliana: My uncle has found my brother. He's safe for now]
[Liliana: Just rest once you get back. We can talk about this matter tomorrow morning]
[Liliana: Thank you again, Mr. Liu. Really, thank you]
Slipping the phone inside the pocket of her jacket, Liliana made her way to her mother's ward. The clock was showing almost ten-thirty.
