[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.

Nancy and Nadia already cursed out loud when Liliana had just reached the middle of the story. By the end of it, more profanities came out of her friends' mouths over what they had just heard.
"That man just let people slander your mom?! When he's the one who pursued her nonstop from the beginning?"
"Lili! Get your granduncle's help! Don't show your father any mercy!"
Nancy and Nadia's reaction was already expected by Liliana but, seeing them being so angry made her laugh.
"Lili, don't laugh!" Nancy was more frustrated right now compared to when Nadia told her story earlier, "Do everything you can to avenge your mom!"
"Huh, if only we can castrate that man," Nadia scoffed, her mind imagining the worst possible punishment for Thomas, "Not only he divorced your mom in less than four months. He didn't even treat you like his daughter."
