[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 three friends reached the train station at one o'clock. They parted ways there.
"Bye-bye!" Nadia waved a hand at her friends while dragging her luggage along.
"Lili, Nadia, see you later," Nancy went in the opposite direction.
"Be careful on your way back," Liliana reminded her friends before she also headed to where she should. She had a bag full of souvenirs with her.
While walking in the huge train station, Liliana booked a cab to return to the cafe. As how she had mentioned to Lucas this morning, she intended to drop by before going back to the apartment.
The short trip to the sunflower field helped to lift Liliana's mood up. After everything she was facing before, the trip was really a good change.
Liliana arrived at CafeOrama a little before two o'clock. People were slowly leaving after the lunch rush. A few tables were still occupied by the patrons.
