[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.

The walk to Hidden Hollow Cave brought Lucas, Kevin and Linda to walk past the beach until they arrived at the beginning of a dense pine forest.
The gentle sound of the waves kissing the shore echoed in the night air, followed by faint chatter coming from the other beach visitors.
Richard and Rebecca were still not aware of them being followed. They couldn't get their hands away from each other, clinging so stickily while they walked.
At one point, Lucas spread his hand, stopping Kevin and Linda from continuing their march. His action garnered their confusion.
"Why?"
Kevin whispered in a very low voice, afraid to even breathe loudly fearing that Richard and Rebecca would notice them.
Lucas glanced at the pair who was getting more far from them. He replied quietly, "Not many people ahead, be careful."
Realizing what his elder brother meant, Kevin nodded. Linda also understood.
