[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.

Cassia woke up! She regained her consciousness! After more than a decade of being in a coma!
Liliana was not the only one surprised by the news. Talia and Old Master Ding were also included.
Everyone in the family only heard about it together with information of them heading to China earlier than scheduled.
"Prepare the flight. We'll fly to China tonight."
Old Master Ding ordered Butler Chang to contact the team that oversaw the family's private jet. The latter also was tasked to clear any obstacles that might prevent them from flying out of the country.
"Lili, are you ready?" Talia stepped inside Liliana's room, her tone imbued with worry, "We'll head to the airport now."
Liliana looked up from her sling back. Her face was smeared with dry tears. Her whole countenance was in a mess because she cried so hard a few hours earlier.
