[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.

True to his words, Old Master Ding brought Liliana to the room where Former Patriarch Ding was. Talia also followed them.
The rest of the family let them have privacy, especially because this was Liliana's first time meeting her great-grandfather.
The doctor and nurses were already informed to wait in the neighboring room. Standing in front of the closed door, Old Master Ding glanced at Liliana.
"Lili, are you ready?" Old Master Ding sounded hesitant, "If you not... you can meet him next time."
Talia also shared the same view as her grandfather despite not verbally saying it.
Liliana moved her eyes from Old Master Ding to Talia before they returned to the old man. With an easy smile on her lips, she reassured them not to worry about her.
"He is still sleeping, en?"
