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.

Make Sure It's Worth My Time
"You. Why do you help that man?"
Asher was obviously referring to Lucas. But, what was with this sudden interest?
He was never someone who paid unnecessary attention to another person, more so if they were not close.
"Mind your own business," replied Liliana, throwing her gaze out of the window, "Anything I do now doesn't concern you."
Liliana was still confused why Asher suddenly changed so much but, she held back her curiosity. She didn't want to engage in a meaningless conversation with him.
It was Liliana's way to maintain an appropriate distance from the man who used to occupy the apex of her heart. She had to do it to avoid losing her sight once again.
Asher clenched his jaw, disturbed by how cold Liliana's response was. His dark gaze sharpened, staring at her side profile as she kept looking out of the streets.
