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.

Be Better For The Ones Who Had Faith In Him
"...why do you say something like that?"
Lucas blankly stared at Liliana, wishing that her previous statement didn't hold any important meaning. He would be very embarrassed if he actually wore his heart on the sleeve from the past few days.
Liliana pursed her lips, unable to reply to Lucas immediately. Only now did she wonder whether it was good to bring up such a topic?
Wouldn't it seem as if she was paying more attention to him than necessary?
"Well... I don't mean anything. It's just I have a feeling that you seem out of sorts. Especially after Mr. Ethan started working here."
In the end, Liliana decided to be truthful. She thought that it was better to be direct rather than hiding it anymore. Not after she had brought it up.
Hearing Liliana's words, Lucas' smile faded slightly. He shifted his gaze from her, now looking back at the little ball of fluff who was still happily drinking the milk.
