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.

Believed In What We Have Chosen
On Monday morning, Lucas made sure he had everything ready before he left for Pelican Bay.
Aside from that, Lucas also gave some instructions to Nancy and Edith about the new yuzu mousse cake, telling them that it was open for bookings if the customers wished for that. Yet, he limited it to a number per week.
Right now, it was a quarter past seven. Customers had started flocking in to get their freshly brewed coffee together with bagels or sandwiches to accompany their morning rides.
"The cake looks so pretty in light yellow glaze," Nancy commented on the cake's outer appearance, "The decorations on top are simple. Is this what people called being minimalist?"
"Maybe?" Lucas shrugged, his lips curved into a smile, "Take the already cut one in the fridge if you guys want to try it. It's on the second shelf from the top."
While saying so, Lucas pointed a finger at one of the refrigerators inside the baking kitchen.
