[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.

The sky was so bright the next morning.
Liliana woke up in a happy mood, anticipating the impromptu picnic with Mrs. Fu and Harris. She quickly got out of bed. She needed to pack the food she made last night.
Mrs. Fu said that she would bring heavy dishes thus, Liliana decided to make some desserts. Roasted pistachio and hazelnut dark chocolate bark and mango-lychee pudding.
They were the perfect treats for a picnic!
"Hurm... what should I wear?"
Liliana was ecstatic! She really considered this picnic a chance for her to destress. If only Nancy and Nadia could join, the day would be better for her.
After going through her wardrobe, Liliana chose the classic look for going to a picnic; a knee-length white chiffon dress.
She paired it with a pastel peach-colored cardigan and a pair of white sneakers. A peach sling bag completed her look.
