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.

Strangling That Trash, Could He?
"...what did you say? That trash... did what?"
Old Master Ding's voice blared in the drawing room, surprised by what Liliana had just told him. Anger was evident in his expression.
"He treated the case... as if it didn't exist," replied Liliana, sounding so disheartened.
Looking back, Liliana thought how foolish she was for putting her hope in Thomas, the man who betrayed her mother's love. He already showed signs of how unreliable and scummy he could be.
Despite not knowing everything in depth, Liliana couldn't help but regret the time she hoped he would fully accept her as his daughter.
"Second Uncle was the one who told me the truth," Liliana resumed talking after heaving a deep sigh, "He noticed I tried investigating. That man... my father buried the case shortly after I entered the Xin house."
