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.

The Charity High Tea Event
||Liliana||
It was the day of the fundraiser high tea organized by Old Madam Gui, three days after Liliana meeting Attorney Su and Lucas. She didn't have any form of contact with them because she got preoccupied with her own matters.
As promised, Liliana accompanied Old Madam Shen to the event.
Madam Ma didn't follow. She headed to the Ma ancestral home to meet with her daughter's family that had just arrived from abroad.
Inside the black sedan car, Liliana sat side by side with Old Madam Shen. The driver played classical Eastern music, the old madam's favorite.
The melody reminded them of a slow-moving stream in spring followed by the rustling of leaves.
"How's the transfer yesterday? The doctors and nurses are good?"
Old Madam Shen glanced at Liliana, bringing up the subject of Cassia's transfer. She was dressed warmly in a two-piece brown-colored outfit, paired with a cream-colored trench coat. Her gray hair was put on a chignon.
