Get Rid of Him
[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.

Her Mother Was Indeed An Iron Lady
As midnight approached, Old Master Ding wanted to go to bed. Talia and Liliana were left in the lounge. They played a card game to help distract the latter from her mother.
Before Old Master Ding was escorted to the bedroom by one male attendant, he didn't forget to give Liliana another reassurance.
"Go to sleep and wake up fresh to meet your mother. Only good news will await you, en?"
Liliana gave Old Master Ding a grateful smile. She put down the cards on the table before rising to her feet. She immediately hugged the old man.
"Grandpa, I can't thank you enough," said Liliana smilingly, "Have a good night."
"Sleep well, Grandpa," Talia waved one hand from where she sat, "I'll be with Lili."
"En, good night, my beloved granddaughters."
Liliana and Talia watched Old Master Ding's disappearing figure. He walked slowly with the assistance of a cane, his back slightly hunching.
