[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.

Andy had left CafeOrama because Lucas was able to work as usual.
Even though the former was there for a short time, the staff threw a farewell party for him. They wished Andy to have a successful journey in France next.
Today, Lucas was back to his spot. When he was finishing his tasks, he got a phone call from Kevin. The clock was showing three-thirty in the afternoon.
"Dad still keeps quiet. I try to force him but, he won't budge."
Leaning his hip against the edge of the kitchen island, Lucas stood there while pushing the phone right to his right ear, his tall back was hunched slightly.
"Seems like he's sure we're all bluffing," Lucas' lips formed a subtle smirk, "How is it? Through your tracking, did he still keep in contact with that woman?"
It would certainly be so difficult for their father Richard to stay away from Rebecca Tan. After all, they worked at the same place and in the same team.
