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.

Liliana didn't spend too much time at MoodSpresso. After finishing the cakes and tea, it was time to leave. Before that, she booked a cab through the e-hailing app.
Lucas had been with her for more than thirty minutes. Fortunately, the cafe was not busy and the manager allowed him to stay with her until the end.
Both of them didn't talk much actually. They also didn't touch on the subject of Gilbert. Mostly Liliana asked Lucas about the cafe.
"The cakes are really delicious," praised Liliana with a smile, "Mr. Liu, you said they were made by the pastry chef here? Not all cafes have one."
"Mr. Lou is the pastry chef who made these for you. We have another one, Mr. Yan. They always rotate their schedule," replied Lucas, smiling beamingly, "Well... to be honest, Mr. Lou is like my mentor. I'm interested in baking too."
"You do?" Liliana was pleasantly surprised, "May I have the pleasure of trying your crafts in the future?"
