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.

"Instead of a proper dinner, we're having some drinks and snacks."
Liliana's words incited laughter from Lucas who was opening a can of beer. He handed it to her.
"Your pastry chef here won't be too drunk. I still need to wake up early to prepare tomorrow's fresh bread," replied Lucas with a wink.
After buying some drinks and also snacks from the convenience store, the two of them forwent the option of going inside the cafe. Instead, they sat in the middle of the staircase leading up to the apartment.
The bag of chilled drinks and snacks was placed in between them.
Right now, the others were busy attending to the patrons. The situation was manageable with everyone's cooperation.
Liliana threw her glance around the backyard of the cafe. The sun was already replaced by the moon. The stars were faintly twinkling in the night sky.
