[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.

Another young lady approached Liliana and the one who caused trouble. She was dressed in a cream-colored professional suit. Her chestnut brown-dyed hair was put up into a chignon.
The charming young lady introduced herself.
"I'm the representative of Sparkllure, here to oversee the boutique opening. My name is Talia Ding. May I offer my assistance to you, ladies?"
Liliana got up from the stool where she stood. She threw a glance at the troublesome woman. Locking her gaze on the woman, she explained to the representative.
"I just need to swipe my card to complete my purchase. But, this young miss here insists to buy the jewelry set triple the price. What's your solution, Miss Ding?"
Liliana wouldn't care if this flashy-dressed woman got to buy the jewelry set. She could just pick another one for her stepmother.
But, Liliana wanted to know how the store representative would handle such a matter.
