[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.

Elaine's words surprised Asher. Even though he could roughly guess her intention based on the time she came to his room and the way she was dressed, he still gave her the benefit of the doubt.
Still, Elaine disappointed him.
Did she think he wouldn't dare to chase her out?
If she herself didn't treat her dignity as something precious, don't blame him for being ruthless.
Narrowing his eyes, Asher's tone sharpened, threat underlying his words, "You want me to sleep with you, doesn't it? Have you thought it through?"
Without hesitation, Elaine nodded a few times. She dismissed the hint of menace in Asher's voice.
Lifting up her hands, Elaine touched the thin strap of her nightgown. Her action exposed more of her neckline and chest. A red blush tinted her cheeks as she kept smiling sweetly at Asher.
