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.

I Believe He Has Learned from His Past Mistakes
Once Asher left, Lucas wrapped the ice with the towel before pressing it on Liliana's right ankle. He did it ever so gently, afraid of adding much strain to her injury.
"Why don't you call it a night?" suggested Lucas, looking up from Liliana's foot to her face, "I think you should return to the manor instead of your apartment."
Liliana's original plan was to follow Lucas back to Springfield Town but, a sprained ankle meant her movement would be limited. Staying alone in her apartment—or even with Lucas—wouldn't be favorable.
"Okay... I'll tell Talia to go home early," replied Liliana dispiritedly. Her mood turned somber.
A chuckle escaped Lucas' lips. He understood what made Liliana disheartened. Like her, he also looked forward to going back together to Springfield.
"You need to get better ah. If not, I think we have to cancel our trip this weekend."
Liliana was horrified. She quickly shook her head.
