[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.

"Brother Asher, what are you doing here alone?"
Asher blinked a few times, trying to regain his sobriety. Narrowing his eyes, he stared back at Elaine who was now approaching him.
"What are you doing here?" Asher threw the question back at the young woman.
Asher knew Elaine was no stranger to this nightclub. After all, the place was owned by Rupert who adored her. But, he didn't expect to bump into her this time of all night.
Elaine pushed a strand of her hair to the back of her ear. With a sweet smile, she answered, "Brother Rupert got a call from the manager. He said that you're here so I came to check."
Elaine really couldn't believe her luck tonight. She came to the nightclub because she wanted to vent to Rupert about her dissatisfaction. He had always been a good listener.
Alvin was not here. Elaine didn't tell her cousin brother about her meeting Rupert tonight.
Who knew? The very person she wanted to meet was here too!
