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.

The Estranged Brothers
Lucas pulled himself out of the shock. Pursing his lips, he took a step forward, resuming his walk until he got nearer to Kevin. A sense of discomfort began to rise within him.
All this time, Lucas had never told anyone in his family about his studying at Dewsbury Culinary Institute. He kept his contact with his mother and Kevin below minimal, only occasionally replying to their texts and calls.
The last time was two weeks ago.
Standing opposite Kevin, Lucas refrained from sighing out loud. He quietly studied the appearance of his youngest brother.
Kevin looked a bit unkempt, distraught even. It was so unlike how he usually used to present himself.
"Come with me."
Without even asking about Kevin's well-being, Lucas told his brother to follow him. He didn't wait for Kevin to reply. Lucas immediately left the hut, changing his direction to the park nearby the lake.
