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 Hardest Decision He Had Ever Made

Even after Liliana had long left the greenhouse, Asher continued standing in the same spot. His eyes were fixated on the yellow roses.
"Haa..."
Asher clasped the fabric over his left chest. His heart was in so much ache. The onslaught of emotions kept his mind awake of reality.
Tonight was the end of them. He would no longer be probing into her new life as to how she was free to be together with another man who treated her right.
If he was not too late into realizing his own feelings, perhaps there was still a chance for them to be together.
But...
He had to stop with all those what-ifs.
Liliana had truly gone from his life. Even if they crossed paths again, he was nothing more than her former husband who she no longer had feelings for.
This agony was the price he had to pay as a consequence.
