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.

She Was So Proud Of Him, Always
"Sister Lili! How have you been?"
Dylan was happy to be able to meet Liliana. He greeted his sister before doing the same to Lucas. Without being introduced by Liliana, he knew the identity of the unfamiliar man.
"Hello, are you Mr. Liu? I have heard about you from my sister before."
Lucas was stunned to receive such a greeting from the younger man. He stuttered for a bit when he responded to Dylan.
"Y-yes, my name is Lucas Liu. It's an honor to meet you, Young Master Xin."
"Eh, don't call me that," Dylan waved one of his hands, smiling at Lucas, "You can just address me with my name. Please, I insist."
"...yes, Mr. Dylan."
Once the waiter left them to privacy, Dylan suddenly bowed at Lucas. His light blond-dyed hair shimmered under the sunlight coming from the window.
"Mr. Liu, I thank you with all my heart. Really, if not for you, I can't imagine what would happen to me on that night. Thank you, thank you so much."
