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.

Found Joy Even In The Smallest Thing
Asher followed Iris to the hall located within the main building of the orphanage. The rest of the staff were also there. They were preparing for the next occasion.
From a few boxes sitting on a long table, the staff started taking out the items inside one by one. Asher caught the sight of colorful papers, ribbons and dried flowers among other things.
"We'll be having an art session with the children," Iris began explaining to Asher who was quietly scanning the area, "Everyone will get gifts. Then, we'll play for a bit before having lunch with them."
Nodding quietly, Asher signaled that he understood. He moved away from Iris, heading to the long table. He didn't realize that she had been looking at him.
Iris was surprised to see how cooperative Asher was from the first moment he stepped foot at the orphanage. He seemed out of place and awkward when he had to interact with the others.
