[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.

Adorning exquisite floor-length dresses each, Liliana and Talia gracefully walked through the entrance of the ballroom of Queen's Crown Hotel. Several other guests followed from behind.
The shimmering sea of chandeliers welcomed their presence, followed by the soothing melodies played by a musical ensemble. The guests mingled around as the waiters glided smoothly through the crowd, carrying trays of drinks.
"Lili, a few gentlemen are looking your way," whispered Talia as she scanned the ballroom, her red-painted lips curling up, "You can expect a few dance requests, my dear cousin."
Talia noticed a few young and refined gentlemen were subtly glancing at where she and Liliana were. Their eyes were staring at her cousin with sparkling interest.
Aiya, maybe one of them could catch her dear cousin's heart. She should meet a good man ah.
