[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.

Untying the apron from his waist, Lucas carefully folded the fabric before stuffing it inside a tote bag. He planned to send it to be washed alongside his uniform and chef cap, using the hotel's laundry service.
Lucas stayed at the hotel last night instead of returning to his apartment. A few other chefs were also the same. Cutting their commute time was more beneficial during this busy period.
Thankfully, Lucas could rely on Harris to look after Honeypuff during his absence. Through the photos sent by the young teen, the ball of fluff seemed to enjoy her time spent with Harris.
The hotel management prepared one room each for the chefs involved in the anniversary event. The chambers were smaller compared to the rest in the prestigious hotel but, they were comfortable enough.
"Mr. Liu, is it your break time?"
"See you in two hours! You've worked hard!"
