[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.

After meeting Liliana the other day, Talia was preoccupied with a few more things. There were some suspicions arose regarding the new pieces of information she got from her second cousin.
Sitting inside her office after lunch, Talia rechecked the old photos of Luciana Ding. There were scanned copies sent by the main Ding family residence abroad.
Talia asked one of the senior staff to do it for her and also requested not to tell her grandfather about it. The staff mentioned she would keep it for herself but, if the old master asked, she wouldn't lie.
Knowing that she had no choice, Talia agreed.
It should be alright since her grandfather already knew that she was on a quest to relocate Grandaunt Luna and her offsprings.
All of the scanned photos were of excellent quality. Talia silently praised her staff for being able to do so. They appeared so clear on her tablet screen.
