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.

A Woman Defeated In Marriage Would Rise
Liliana tried so hard to put the matter behind her mind, resisting the urge to blast Asher's phone with her call. She was still angry and shocked at the stunt he tried to pull.
For the first time in a long time, Liliana was trembling as her silent wrath overtook her senses.
Why?
Why did he have to do that?
Was he trying to sabotage the important day in her life?
Just why?!
"...Lili, are you okay?"
"Huh?"
A tap on her shoulder and the sound of Nadia's voice pulled Liliana from the frenzies of her mind. Blinking her eyes, her friend's face was clear in her line of sight. Nadia's expression obviously carried traces of concern.
"Oh... I'm fine, just overwhelmed," Liliana reluctantly gave an excuse. She feebly caressed the back of her hand with the other.
Nadia glanced around the cafe. There was indeed a surge of customers coming to the newly opened cafe. Because it was the weekend, the foot traffic was better than usual.
