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.

How Could He Be This Embarrassed?

<Back to present hour>

"Now, take off your shirt."

"...what?"

The flustered look on Lucas' face made Liliana chuckle. She said further, "Do you want me to re-apply the bandage on your shirt? Hurry, let me treat your back first."

"Oh! Yes, yes... wait."

Lucas turned around, letting his back face Liliana. He didn't know she was holding back laughter as she spotted how red his ears were.

How could he be this embarrassed?

Liliana filtered out the fact that she didn't feel as shy as last night. She waited until Lucas unbuttoned the shirt and pulled down the left side of the clothes. The place where he got injured was revealed to her, hidden by the gauze.

"I'll tear this bandage," Liliana moved closer to Lucas. She needed to kneel on the floor because of their height difference, "Tell me if it hurts."

The reply to Liliana's words was a muffled hum from Lucas. She laughed softly and saw his ears turn redder.
