[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.

Nancy was too stunned. Her expectation of coming to this office was to hear Liliana talking about her meeting with Old Madam Shen and the others earlier. Or, it might be related to the cafe management during the time she was away.
But...
Her friend was suggesting all of them go on a vacation instead!
"Lili... are you serious?" asked Nancy in disbelief. Her jaw almost dropped.
Liliana laughed out loud. She didn't know that she was so entertained by the idea that came so randomly.
"Summer will end soon. How about we close the cafe for two days and go somewhere nice? I think of a mountain resort, tho. But, should we change it to a beach?"
At first, Liliana intended to bring everyone to a beach but, she changed her mind about going to a mountain resort. The cool breeze from the high areas and the beautiful scenery were surely as welcoming as a pretty beach.
