[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.

Seeing the look of confidence on her friend's face put Nancy at ease. She had been worrying about Liliana as the banquet got nearer and nearer.
Both Nancy and Nadia felt the same way. None of them wished for failure in Liliana's plan.
Nancy closed her planner and said, "Nadia wanna see you before you go to the south tomorrow but, she's away right now."
"She has texted me personally. I'm glad that she's with Edgar tho," replied Liliana happily, "At least she'll feel better."
Just a few days ago, Nadia had to attend a comic and animation conference abroad. She was scheduled to give a talk and meet her fans there.
Instead of only going there with her editor and team of assistants, Edgar also tagged along. This would be the first time the new couple going away together.
Nadia and Edgar's relationship was flowing smoothly, much to Liliana and Nancy's delight.
