[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.

Cassia woke up when it was nearly six in the evening. She appeared to be in a better mood as she kept smiling albeit faintly.
Liliana stayed by her mother's side as she promised. She assisted Cassia in eating some time later. Mrs. Sui who had just come taught her how to feed her mother.
While feeding Cassia the fragrant porridge, Liliana talked about her life.
She only told her mother about the good parts, including her apartment and cafe. She had yet to mention that she used to get married and divorced early this year.
"One of my cooks, Mrs. Fu really makes delicious home-cooked meals. I remember yours whenever I eat her food."
Liliana put back the spoon into the bowl. She grabbed a tissue and wiped Cassia's mouth. Her movement was careful and gentle.
"I haven't cooked much ever since I employed Mrs. Fu. Maybe I should ask her if she has good recipes for various kinds of porridges and soups. I'll make them for you, Mom."
