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.

"Haaa... She did it again."
With both hands on his hips, Lucas' eyes looked at the bowl where he let a dough rest. An amused smile hung on his lips.
A small chunk was torn apart from the dough by a pair of mysterious hands, leaving a trail of flour and sugar on the kitchen island to the floor, including the bits of the sticky dough.
Unable to refrain himself, chuckles slipped out of Lucas' mouth. His upper body trembled as he tried to hold back his laughter.
"Time to catch the culprit ah."
Shaking his head in helplessness, Lucas stepped out of the kitchen of the two-story house. Without any need to think, his feet brought him further down the hallway, heading to a room.
The sun slowly descended to the horizon, scattering its lights on the city's skyline. The amber and gold colors filtered through the windows, staining the floor with their vibrant hues.
