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.

"Yes! That's the way! Keep it up! Time to rest!"
Nancy's words brought relief to both Liliana and Lucas. They exchanged a glance before stepping back from each other, also withdrawing their hands.
The heat of their warmth seeped under their skins.
"So... it's perfect now?"
Liliana threw the question at Nancy. Her friend was watching her and Lucas acting their parts as the cowherd and the weaver girl.
Their small performance would commence on the night of the event, three days from now. Tomorrow was the first day the cafe gave out discounts for patrons who came wearing traditional clothes.
"Yes, it's good already," Nancy nodded, giving her full approval to the acting couple, "We don't need you guys to be too dramatic. Just enough to attract the customers."
Liliana had nothing to say to the overbearing cafe manager. Looking at the clock, she was surprised that the time had already reached half-past eleven at night.
