[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.

Blankly staring at the tea cup in his right hand, Lucas was lucky not to pour the hot tea onto his skin. He watched the steam swirling up from the cup, coming from the reddish brown liquid.
"Meow~"
Lucas looked up from the tea cup, his eyes landed on the foot mat right in front of the closed sliding door. Honeypuff was rolling there while chewing her new toy.
"Aren't you sleepy, Honeypuff? It's midnight already."
While throwing those words to the tiny ginger, Lucas brought the tea cup to where Honeypuff was playing. He carefully balanced the cup while lowering it down as he sat on the mat.
"Meow~"
Honeypuff gave her giant-sized butler a look before she continued biting the toy. Laughing softly, Lucas just let the little ball of fluff be. He sat cross-legged on the mat, facing the sliding doors.
