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.

SS5: The Moment of His Return

Liliana never expected the main drive behind Lucas' determination to return in summer was due to the promise. She had to retrace her memory before finally recalling the event.

Liliana remembered Lucas surprising her with sparklers during their picnic in the lake park in early autumn last year. They played by the lake before he brought up the idea of playing sparklers at the beach.

Then, Liliana stuck out her pinky like a young child. Lucas happily sealed the promise with her, pledging to bring her to the beach next summer.

"Honey... you really know how to make my heart flutter."

Unable to find better words, Liliana could only say that. Lucas' soft laughter resonated in the air before the echo traveled to her heart, enveloping it with its warmth.

"My return flight is next Monday. We can have a short trip to the beach. What do you think?"

"I do! I do, honey!"
