[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.

Before the clock struck twelve at noon, the two cars arrived at Azureville Cliffs.
Butler Yan led the staff to welcome Former Patriarch Ding's first visit here. They made up two rows at the main entrance of the mansion.
Aside from Butler Yan, most of them hadn't had the opportunity to meet the former patriarch until now.
Liliana was the first one who came out of the car, followed by Talia. The crisp autumn air gently stroked her cheeks before blowing through her long hair. The refreshing feeling lifted her mood further.
"Grandpa, be careful."
Liliana and Talia helped Old Master Ding while the burly bodyguards assisted Former Patriarch Ding. The wheelchair was already unfolded by one of them, ready to be used by the frail old man.
Butler Yan stepped forward with the head maid by his side. With one hand over his chest, he bowed down, followed by the other staff.
