[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.

Lucas rounded the swing, standing behind one before staring mischievously at Liliana. She let out soft giggles seeing the encouragement in his eyes.
Hehe, she didn't expect to play in the playground with her man tonight. She should savor every moment of being with him instead of letting sadness take over her heart.
"Yes, yes, I'll play."
Liliana approached the swing, her soles leaving traces on the sandy ground. Grabbing the steel chains on both sides, Lucas helped Liliana onto the plankseat. The hem of her pleated skirt billowed, hanging below her knees.
"Are you ready?"
Lucas shouted, both palms resting on Liliana's back. He was ready to push her.
"Yes!"
"Hold on tight!"
"Woohoo!"
Liliana was as enthusiastic as Lucas, their voices hollering across the playground. He started by pushing her lightly before picking up the speed, the swing rising higher with each push.
"Hahaha! Higher! Go higher!"
"You'll fall ah!"
