[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.

"Are you saying you did nothing wrong here?"
Dean Zhao's loud voice boomed in the office. Six students stood in front of him, aware that the dean was angry.
A guard spotted Samuel and Lucas' altercation right when Jayden and Brian tried to separate them. All of them were brought to the dean's office.
"Dean Zhao, he's the one provoking me," Samuel spoke the half-truth, his expression showing that he was not scared of Dean Zhao's wrath at all, "I didn't even know why he came looking for me."
Lucas narrowed his eyes. His gaze pierced into Samuel who grinned smugly in response.
"Dean Zhao, it's true I went looking for him first. Only because I wanted to ask why did he go to such lengths to defame me."
Lucas' words brought confusion to Dean Zhao. The middle-aged man stared at the young man's bruised face. There was even a cut on the corner of his lips.
