[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.

After an in-depth investigation, Samuel, Aaron and Joseph were found guilty. Dean Zhao put them on a two-week suspension, much to everyone's surprise.
The three students' pleas fell on deaf ears. The dean paid no heed to their pitiful begging.
"You failed to uphold Dewsbury's integrity. No students of mine can be left without being taught any lessons once such a matter occurred. Take this chance to reflect on your poor choices."
Not only did Dean Zhao make the three students pay for their mistakes but, he also reminded the IT department to not neglect the students' forum. He didn't want any rumors, baseless or not to propagate until more troubles came next.
"If there's a repeat, immediately inform me. We'll handle it as soon as possible."
Dean Zhao didn't tell Lucas or anyone about his intention. He was trying to save any future students from being other victims because they became the subjects of rumors.
