[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.

"How pretty."
Curling up on a flower-shaped couch opposite the French doors, Liliana smilingly read new messages sent by Lucas. Her side bangs gracefully tilted along her head, the light in her eyes softened.
The clock would strike midnight soon. Liliana had already changed into her night dress. When she checked on Cassia earlier, she found that her mother was deep in her slumber.
Lanterns and the garden lampposts brightened the entire area of the mansion. The crisp cool breeze of autumn swirled in the air, gently passing by the lanterns and the leaves.
Liliana was certain that her granduncle and great-grandfather also had gone to sleep. As for Talia, she might still be up.
On the screen, Lucas' messages were displayed clearly. Once again, Liliana read them.
[Lucas: Just got back from my family home]
[Lucas: I had a nice chat with my mother and brother, truly didn't expect this]
