[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 cheerful Liliana covered her mouth as she entered the annex. Her hands muffled the echoes of her joyful chuckles yet, the look of pure happiness on her countenance was so evident.
'I need to tell Mom! Yes!'
Liliana half-walked and half-danced as she made her way to Cassia's bedroom. Her sage green pleated skirt twirled around her hip, following each of her movements.
Despite being out since early morning, Liliana showed no hint of weariness. She was too happy to let even a trace of tiredness sneak in.
'Hehe, he's so sweet ah~'
Liliana replayed every single moment she shared with Lucas earlier in her mind, including their parting little kisses. Her whole face beamed with delight as she couldn't wait to tell Cassia about her relationship with him.
"Oh! I forgot!"
Halting in her tracks, Liliana slapped her forehead for her forgetfulness. She was too carried away in her happiness that she overlooked to do one thing.
