[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.

"Third Young Miss, do you need more time?"
Miss Tang's inquiry pulled Talia out of her trance. Lifting up her chin, she stared back at her assistant.
Miss Tang was standing opposite Talia, separated by the work desk. The former's attention shifted from her employer to the white envelope lying in the middle of the desk.
A genetics institute's logo and name were printed on a corner of the envelope.
Talia bit her lower lip, her eyes slightly narrowed. She couldn't help but feel uneasy at the sight of the white envelope.
An hour earlier, Miss Tang walked into Talia's office, bringing in the envelope. Inside it was the DNA test result requested by Talia last week.
Instead of using a courier service, Miss Tang personally went to the genetics institute to get the result. The envelope was sealed upon her receiving it.
