[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.

Much to Liliana's relief, Old Madam Shen was allowed to be discharged on Thursday afternoon. The doctor assured the Shen family that the matriarch's health was in good condition.
"Old Madam Shen needs to have a more decent rest. Her food intake also has to be monitored well for the sake of her health."
Everyone paid attention to what the doctor reminded them of. Madam Ma and Audrey thanked the doctor and the nurses while Shelley only kept her lips shut.
Liliana stood next to the bed, helping Old Madam Shen to wear her favorite crochet shawl cardigan.
"You can go now," Shelley started ordering Liliana around, her expression carrying unpleasantness toward the younger lady, "We can handle everything here. Aren't you busy living your single life now?"
Liliana ignored what her former mother-in-law was spouting nonsense about. Audrey and Madam Ma also treated Shelley as invisible.
