[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.

At the table, Shaelyn accompanied Liliana while Old Madam Shen was still talking to her close friends. Neither of them mentioned what had just occurred to the old lady.
Liliana asked about Shaelyn's wedding preparation. Even though she decided not to go, she was still attracted to knowing more about the blissful nuptial ceremony.
"Oh? Two months of the honeymoon? Alvin certainly doesn't hold back," Liliana covered her lips, laughter spilled out of her mouth.
"He said he wants to rest well," answered Shaelyn with a helpless yet fond smile, "He hasn't had a proper vacation in years. Even though he goes abroad, most of it is due to work."
Nodding, Liliana agreed with what Shaelyn was saying.
Alvin was as busy as Asher because he was also the heir of his family conglomerate.
More often than not, they had to travel between several countries in a short span of time. But, all of them were related to their job.
