[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.

Liliana was still oblivious to the trouble that befell Lucas. She had started meeting Madam Yang together with Mrs. Fu and Jeffrey. The renowned celebrity chef was so helpful in providing her assistance.
"Stella is my daughter's close friend. She's like my own daughter. If not for her, I'd already reject the offer."
Madam Yang was being truthful to Liliana about recruiting her help. Stella was Mrs. Qian's first name.
Liliana thanked Madam Yang earnestly. She was already aware that a popular chef like Madam Yang wouldn't be easily shaken by the huge sum of money allocated for her training.
But, Liliana also didn't expect to hear the information because Mrs. Qian never mentioned it to her.
From the first day, Madam Yang guided the three of them in choosing the fixed menu as well as giving suggestions for the seasonal ones. They also started to practice making the dishes together.
