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.

Prepare For Your Grand Entrance

"It's great that your mom has settled down there. It's not easy to get used to a new place."
Lucas' words brought a smile to Liliana's lips. She intently watched him rolling the dough on the kitchen island. The wall clock was pointing to three-thirty in the afternoon.
Right now, Liliana and Lucas were inside the baking kitchen. She came to talk about her mother when he was experimenting with a bread recipe. It was not something new for them.
When Liliana said she could come some other time, Lucas insisted she stay.
"It's boring being alone here. I can use some company."
His words led Liliana to drop her plan of leaving the baking kitchen. Thus, they began talking as Lucas continued with his task.
Liliana quietly stared at Lucas without replying immediately. Her eyes caught the traces of white flour staining the left corner of his lips. Some even got to his forehead. His dark hair was covered under a white hat.
