[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.

Shen Corporation, the next day.
In the late afternoon, Caleb met Asher to brief him about his one-month-long business trip to Europe. It was regarding one of their collaborations with a foreign conglomerate.
Asher was scheduled to leave in three days. The preparations had been completed.
Caleb could see his boss' mood was foul. Thinking back on a new piece of information he had just recently received, he contemplated whether to tell Asher or not.
"President Shen, I have something to tell you."
Asher hummed, he didn't pay full attention to his chief assistant.
"The thing is..."
What came out of Caleb's mouth was akin to a bombshell.
"Young Madam went to the police station last night. Her friend got kidnapped. Attorney Su was there as well."
Stupefied, Asher blurted out, disbelief written in his eyes.
"What did you say? Repeat that."
