[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.

The cab indeed had been waiting for quite some time. Liliana apologized for her tardiness, earning a relieved smile from the driver.
After giving the location, the cab slowly left the front of the residential complex.
Liliana looked at her phone, staring briefly at the digital clock. Hopefully, the traffic was smooth. She didn't want to be late for an important meeting.
Thomas told Liliana to meet him at Blue Moon, a fine dining restaurant nearby the Xin Corporation building. Serving delectable French cuisine, it was one of the places where he always frequented.
"So cold..."
Liliana blurted out the moment she got off the cab. If not for the urgent matter that required her to face her father, Liliana would choose to curl up under a blanket while watching a movie.
Blue Moon was located in between two buildings. It had its own private yard which was now decorated with colorful garlands and fairy lights.
