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.

Next Year, At This Time Around, I Will...
Liliana and Lucas stopped talking about his father's infidelity. She trusted that the younger man would be able to come up with a plan to counteract his father soon.
Still having so many cans of drinks and bags of snacks, they indulged in the topic related to the cafe and the man's baked goods.
Lucas' face beamed the moment Liliana mentioned how his new mousse cake had been sold out for the day.
"I'll make more, especially weekend's coming."
The cafe's flow of customers was higher during the weekend rather than the usual working days. Not only lovers and friends came to have meals together but, families also would be there to spend their time together.
Liliana opened a bag of spicy potato chips. It had been sitting inside the plastic bag untouched.
Without looking at Lucas because her focus was more inclined toward the snacks, Liliana said, "Now, I can't help thinking about what will you make for our Night of Sevens Festival next month."
