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 Unfamiliar Place
Lying sideways on the big and comfy bed, Liliana threw her gaze to the window. The majority of what she saw was the clear blue sky, followed by a few towering trees.
"Haa... I'm nervous..."
An hour earlier, Liliana had breakfast with Talia and Old Master Ding.
The patriarch couldn't keep his eyes away from her even though he tried making it discreetly. He also asked her a few questions, dabbling on the subject of her family.
"How's your parents back in the country? Talia didn't tell me much about you."
"Where do you live? Do you live with your parents and grandparents?"
"Thank you for being my granddaughter's friend. She didn't know anyone much back in China."
It was obvious that Old Master Ding wanted to ask more but, Talia pretended to tell him off. Liliana felt sorry as she guessed what was transpiring in the old man's mind. None of the questions were answered.
