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.

May I Wipe Your Tears?
Liliana didn't know how long she had been crying while being embraced by Lucas.
By the time her cries subsided, the moon had replaced the setting sun. The sky had darkened completely.
Awkwardly pulling herself away from him, Liliana kept her head low. Not only she realized that her face might be a blotchy mess but, she also felt bad and ashamed for showing such a pathetic side to Lucas.
Lucas slowly brought his arms from Liliana's back to her shoulders. Trying to peer into her tear-stricken face, he asked, "Do you feel better now?"
His question echoed gently to Liliana. She nodded her head a few times, her movement small before she took a step back from him.
Mustering up her courage, Liliana finally tilted up her chin, trying to give Lucas a smile, "I'm sorry... for suddenly... acting like that."
Liliana kind of wanted to know what was transpiring in Lucas' mind when he gently embraced the crying her. But, she didn't have the gut to do so.
