[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.

Once Asher reached home after visiting Bloom & Bliss, he remembered that he needed to call Thomas. He wondered if there was an outcome of the investigation.
Until now, there was still no news about the incident that occurred at the Xin family's ancestral home last Saturday.
Asher had firmly told Thomas to look into the missing jewelry set. He wanted the Xin family to apologize to Liliana for their mistake.
Even without the investigation, Asher didn't doubt Liliana. She was not the guilty party in this incident.
Despite them being strangers in the four years of their marriage, he knew she was not someone who would pull up such a stunt just to spite her estranged stepmother.
"Hello, Asher," Thomas' voice sounded exhausted.
Asher loosened his tie. Walking inside the bedroom, he headed to the couch area and sat down. His expression was grave.
