[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 time was now showing eight o'clock in the evening. Most of the wedding guests had left. The ones who remained were relatives and close friends of the bride and groom. Talia was not excluded.
"Isn't it the gift opening session?"
"I wonder what kind of gifts they receive."
While sitting in her seat, Talia heard the conversation of two guests walking past her table. She briefly glanced at them before throwing her gaze around the open-air structure.
Now, more fairy lights and other lamps were switched on to brighten the yard. The moon was hanging above in the dark velvet sky. Only a few stars could be seen in the midst of all the lights yet, the scenery was still breathtaking.
"Excuse me," Talia called for one of the attendants, "Please bring me mineral water."
The attendant was quick to give Talia what she requested. He handed her a glass of mineral water.
