[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.

Since last night, Liliana had been thinking of Talia's messages. She tried not to busy her mind with them but, it was hard not doing so.
Keeping her eyes on Talia next to her, Liliana asked her again, "What else did you find? Talia, please tell me."
What made Talia come up with whatever assumptions she wanted to tell her right now?
Even though Liliana had only known Talia for a short amount of time, she had never doubted her intelligence. There might be something that attracted the latter's attention.
Talia exhaled a sigh. She wondered how she should broach the subject. Liliana's gaze on her was full of curiosity. She felt wrong to make her newly found second cousin worry.
"Alright... I'll start now. But, first, you do know how your grandparents died, right? It happened when your mom was still in high school. Is my knowledge correct?"
