Get Rid of Him
[1902024: Resume update in July 2024, preparing the last volume] ---------------------------- "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.

As Stubborn As Your Mother!
In the end, Deanna had to leave under Thomas' persuasion. She threw Liliana a glare before standing up but, the former still paid no heed to her.
Furious, Deanna stormed out of the room.
Thomas exhaled a sigh. It was a good decision not to let his eldest and second daughter be together here.
As much as Thomas doted on Deanna, dealing with her childish antics was still exhausting.
"Are you happy now that you get what you wanted?" asked Thomas to Liliana. The smile he showed to Deanna earlier was replaced with a stern look.
Liliana smiled faintly, "Being a divorcee is not bad. My situation is far better than most people's."
Thomas held back from saying any hurtful remark. There was truth in what Liliana had just said.
Whenever a divorce occurred in high society, lawsuits were expected to happen. Both parties were adamant for the other to follow their demands, especially in property divisions and the alimony amount.
