[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.

"Miss Liliana, you seem to have a really good relationship with Old Madam Shen."
One of the Ding family's distant relatives said those words when they were having dinner together that night. What she brought up attracted everyone's attention, including Liliana.
Looking up from her rice bowl, Liliana cast her gaze on the speaker. She was a middle-aged woman named Tamara. Her husband was Belinda's uncle.
The dining table was huge and long but, Tamara's voice reached everyone. She sat next to her husband while Belinda was separated from them. The young lady chose to be seated with her cousins.
Tomorrow, all the relatives who stayed here would return to their respective homes. Because not everyone would be present during breakfast, Old Master Ding gathered everyone to have dinner together.
Putting down the chopsticks on their stand, Liliana replied with a smile. She sensed Talia gently patting her lap. They sat side by side.
