[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.

The crisp and refreshing autumn breeze gently caressed Liliana's cheeks once she stepped out to the backyard.
The orange lights of the streetlamps and white fairy lights illuminated her smiling countenance. The backyard also was brightened with white lanterns.
"Haa~"
Lifting her arms, Liliana slowly stretched her limbs. Her lips melted into a smile when her eyes were dazzled by the fairy lights hanging at the tree in the backyard.
Tonight was indeed a blissful one for her.
All her loved ones were here, celebrating the new phase of her life journey. Looking back to the previous years, she never expected to make it this far.
"Hehe, I'm so happy."
Turning around, Liliana slowly made her way to the garden table. While sitting on one of the chairs, she threw her gaze to the apartment upstairs.
