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.

His Atrocious Actions
All this time, Lucas didn't foresee Samuel acting up again. Worse, the latter did it when Liliana was around, forcing her to hear what kind of defamation he had done.
If not for such an incident happened today, all the things Samuel did wouldn't ever resurface. Lucas was extremely reluctant to let Liliana know.
Yet, he couldn't hide it any further.
Under Liliana's anxious gaze, Lucas exhaled a long and deep sigh. He unconsciously tightened his grip on his knees before he clasped his hands together.
"The first thing that happened... after Mr. Jin chose me to join the Dewsbury Bake-off."
Lucas slowly opened up the story of a few months ago. He started by saying how Samuel and his two cliques often call him someone's boy toy.
"They knew I enrolled through a personal sponsorship. They just didn't know from whom. It's so ridiculous because I was always in my old clothes and used my cheap items."
