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.

Spreading Happiness With Cakes
As always, Lucas returned to a quiet house. At this time, both of his parents would already go to bed. They wouldn't wake up until six in the morning, or maybe even earlier in his mother's case.
Lucas glanced at the two-story house next to his family home. The yard was dark and gloomy, only partially lit by the street lights. The plants died under the cold winter air.
Ever since Grandpa Chen passed away seven years ago, his house had been abandoned. No one came to claim the place as theirs. The late Grandpa Chen was assumed to have no other family members left.
Whenever Lucas had time, he often went over to clean up the yard and the inside of the house. He still possessed spare keys that Grandpa Chen left to him before. It pricked his conscience if he didn't take care of this place.
