[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.

Liliana was led inside Dr. Fang's office by one of the nurses. She was told that the doctor would return soon after completing his afternoon rounds.
Liliana made her way to one of the couches. She sat on the one with her back facing the closed door.
Dr. Fang's office was not that spacious but, he kept the place tidy and clean. A revitalizing scent of mint lingered in the air, coming from the wallplug air freshener.
While Liliana was sitting there, she couldn't help but feel her head slightly throbbing. The refreshing scent was unable to alleviate her headache.
Pressing the space between her eyebrows, she heaved out a sigh.
'I shouldn't be this tired. I still have so many things to do.'
Liliana closed her eyes, trying to relieve some of her fatigue. She didn't intend to return to her apartment yet, hoping to spend more time with Cassia.
'I haven't told them I'm back already. I should text Nancy.'
