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.

Carved Into A Promise
The kitchen was already ordered to prepare food for everyone, including the surprised arrivals.
Old Master Ding only told Old Butler Chang about Former Patriarch Ding coming with Talia's family. They took in the elderly man's dietary requirements when telling the chef to make separate dishes for him.
Lunchtime was quite busy as the relatives continued talking to the three superior men in the Ding family. They also tried to connect with Aidan who was the crowned heir.
But, none of them forgot the revelation made by Old Master Ding earlier. A few of them asked how did Talia find Liliana. More questions also followed soon.
"I found my late grandmother's letters and a few of her belongings. I also heard about the Ding family from Old Madam Shen. Turned out, she's good friends with grandmother."
"It's a coincidence that Talia also was looking for my grandmother. Unfortunately, she passed away long before I was born."
