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.

Focusing On Struggling Single-Parent Families
"Fourth Young Miss, you look so cheery ah. Smiling like a flower blooming."
Mr. Chi's words caused Liliana to burst out laughing. Lightly covering her mouth, she looked at the middle-aged man's joyful expression through the rearview mirror.
"Hehe, just so happy today. Mr. Chi, you look practically glowing! Did you buy some books?"
Mr. Chi guffawed at Liliana's remark. He proudly stated, "Yes! I haven't had much fun like today. I think I should visit the book cafe often. Still, the library is the best."
Throughout the ride back to the Azureville Cliffs, Liliana asked Mr. Chi to share about his love of reading. She hadn't known him much thus, she took this chance to learn. After all, he was one of the good staff at the mansion.
Elated by the interest shown by Liliana, Mr. Chi pulled out at all stops. He started by saying his late parents instilled the value in him and his siblings. They had quite a huge library back at home.
