[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.

On Monday, Liliana received a phone call from Teacher Qi. The teacher mentioned that she used the two days of the weekend to convince Alfie and his parents about receiving assistance.
At that time, Liliana was still at home. The clock was showing a quarter past nine in the morning. She was having breakfast before getting ready to go to the cafe.
Liliana paused from eating the rice porridge served on the dining table. She put on the call on a loudspeaker as the phone was lying on the table.
Teacher Qi's voice echoed from the end of the line. Joy was imbued in her tone.
"Mr. and Mrs. Ying are afraid to go against the company. They didn't think that they could win but, Student Ying convinced them. Now, they've agreed."
It was certainly not an easy task even for Teacher Qi. The Ying spouses were frightened because the company had threatened them before.
