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 New Direction Of His Life
[Lucas]
"That smells nice. Oh, they are cute!"
Michael came looking at what Lucas was doing in the kitchen when he saw a tray full of cute meringue cookies on the kitchen island. Some of them were in cat shapes while the others were in octopus and bunny shapes.
"I followed what you taught me before." Lucas wiped his sweaty forehead with the back of his right hand, "I want to give some to Miss Xin."
Ever since Lucas started living with Michael, the latter generously offered him more guidance in baking cakes, pastries and cookies. Michael also was the one who encouraged Lucas to enroll in Dewsbury Culinary Institute.
"If you still wish to go to France later, you can. Perhaps, you'll enter any competition there."
That was what Michael told Lucas when the latter came clean about what he thought regarding studying abroad.
The language barrier was one of the main reasons that made Lucas reluctant.
