[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.

Lucas, Linda and Kevin hurried out of the dense pine forest. Richard's cussing and Rebecca's crying fell on deaf ears.
The other visitors were still surrounding the treacherous couple, some even blatantly took their photos and videos, much to Richard's anger.
"Let's go back to our hotel," Kevin said while taking a glance behind him, "We've been dealing with Dad's shit for so long now."
Lucas hummed, giving his youngest brother his tacit understanding. Ahead of them, Linda's face was still twisted with suppressed fury. Her pace only got quicker.
Kevin was not lying when he said he would expose the affairs to Director Wen, Richard's superior. But, he wouldn't meet him face to face like how he told Richard before abruptly leaving just a moment before.
Kevin would organize all the videos and photos taken tonight and e-mail them to Director Wen. He also planned to do so to a few of Richard's colleagues.
