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.

Securing A Connection
"Yes, I used the secret recipe to make the cupcakes," admitted Lucas, suppressing his confusion, "If I may ask, do you like the cake, Mrs. Feng?"
Did Mrs. Feng be charmed by the spiced sweet potato cake so much that she had yet to forget about it?
She did ask him about it once before when they met inside Mr. Jin's office, his mentor and lecturer at Dewsbury Culinary Insitute.
Mrs. Feng didn't immediately reply to Lucas' question. Her gaze on the young man was indecipherable. Only she knew what kind of thoughts were fleeting in her mind right at this time.
"You weren't Mrs. Feng's student, right?" Mr. Luo chimed in, seemingly to ease the awkwardness between the two people.
Looking at Lucas, he said again, "Have you heard that Mrs. Feng's husband owns a chain of bakeries? Their brand has been well received by consumers since the beginning."
