[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.

Alexander exhaled a sigh, realizing that he had been pushing the matter too far. He sat down on the couch opposite Old Master Ding, intending to talk about the matter in a more composed manner.
"I've been hostile toward that girl... I mean, Liliana," admitted Alexander. His brows were imbued with skepticism and worries, "But, I don't do it because I want to, Father."
"Hah! Did you think I don't know how suspicious you can be toward someone? Lili isn't the one you should worry about."
Old Master Ding scoffed. He let out his frustrations over how his son reacted when facing Liliana.
Alexander clenched his hands into fists. Sighing again, he repeated the words that garnered his elderly father's wrath.
"But, I'm not lying about Liliana's legitimacy in the Xin family. Even before I met her, I'd heard news about her. People have been talking about how an illegitimate child could marry the Shen heir."
