[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.

At a quarter past twelve, Lucas arrived back at CafeOrama. He ran upstairs, feeling the cool night breeze blowing through his hair.
What happened earlier returned to his mind. A chuckle slipped out of his mouth.
Somehow, it was amusing yet also refreshing to see how Liliana tried acting out of her norm.
Lucas caught the traces of uncertainty and fear coming from Liliana, the ones she tried to hide. They were apparent when the bodyguards acted harshly toward Charlie Dai.
Obviously, she was not accustomed to such a brutal scene.
"Better not let her see a more violent scene," whispered Lucas to himself as he changed out of his outfit.
It was summer. He usually only slept with his cotton pants on. The lights glimmered onto his slightly pale upper body.
Lucas put the dirty clothes into the laundry basket. He planned to throw them into the small washing machine before going down to prepare the bread at four in the morning.
