[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.

Not long after, two nurses came to check on Cassia. Liliana anxiously waited by the sideline, watching how her mother was examined. She noticed that Albert had gone but, she didn't have time to contact her uncle yet.
"Excuse me, is Dr. Fang still on duty?" asked Liliana before the nurses left.
One of them replied with a smile, "Dr. Fang is currently attending to another patient. He'll be available in soon."
"Thank you. I plan to meet him," Liliana smiled in relief. She wished to hear more about her mother's condition from the doctor himself.
Liliana returned by Cassia's side. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she asked, "Are you hungry, Mom? Have you eaten?"
Liliana was informed that Cassia could only have liquid meals such as porridge and soups. Albert told her earlier that her mother got some breakfast before she continued napping. At that time, Liliana was still on the flight.
"Not hungry... You... aren't tired?"
