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.

The Final Selection Process
"Oh, I should go now."
Liliana noticed the clock was pointing to eleven-forty. She shoved the rest of the cookie held between her fingers into her mouth. The cupcake was already long gone, residing in her tummy.
Lucas smiled, noticing the anticipation brewing in Liliana's eyes. She mentioned how excited she was to interview the candidates.
While sitting in the baking kitchen, they chatted about what Liliana did at Westport City. Because Lucas was already aware of her intention, she truthfully told him what happened during her stay there.
"Will you stay at your apartment tonight?" asked Lucas, an idea struck his mind.
"I'll return to my granduncle's place," Liliana raised her brows, lips curling up, "I plan to go back late. Why? Have anything to do?"
Lucas let out a chuckle before responding, "Want to have dinner at the eatery near the lake park? You can choose the time, either at six or even later."
"Oh! That's good! Sure, at six."
