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.

Desiring To Convey His Ardent Wish To Her
"We have been there twice. I liked the ambiance and the food. Hehe, we usually visit different places for our date nights."
Grace's words pleased Liliana. Raising her brows, she asked, "Oh, really? That sounds fun. I assume you and Mr. Shi like trying new food, do you?"
"You can say so, Miss Ding," replied Grace, followed by hearty laughter.
While watching the water cascade down the garden fountain, Grace brought up the times she visited CafeOrama with Louis before. They went during the times Liliana was absent. If not, Lucas would introduce them to each other already.
Liliana enjoyed Grace's company so far. Even though the latter was three years younger than her, Grace possessed an air of maturity while still being an approachable person.
"Grace, Louis' looking for you."
Lucas's voice traveled in the air from behind, catching the two ladies' attention. Liliana and Grace turned around, their eyes fell on the young man's countenance.
