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.

I Have Nothing With Him. Yet
Liliana was relieved that she was not drinking or eating. Nancy's words were enough to choke her.
Perplexed, Liliana's tone turned shaky, "When did you hear that?"
It had only been one day, did Nancy have already caught on to the matter?
Lucas didn't return from Dewsbury Culinary Institute until four in the late afternoon. Liliana met him briefly before she urged him to have some rest.
They talked for a bit while standing in the hallway leading to the baking kitchen. The content of their conversation was regarding Lucas' participation in the bake-off.
Liliana was ashamed of herself. There was nothing embarrassing in her chat with Lucas but, why was she too conscious of Nancy's statement?
Nancy's grin widened at the sight of Liliana's blushing cheeks. Raising one of her brows, she said, "You didn't notice me ah. I was picking some cakes inside the baking kitchen. I heard you two talking when I opened the door."
