[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.

This young woman named Liliana Xin was as charming and beautiful as their Third Young Miss Ding. As the two ladies sat side by side, they appeared so pleasing to the eyes as if they came out straight of a painting.
Butler Yan couldn't believe that his subordinates would keep staring at Liliana without saying anything. Wasn't this like gawking at her? This action could be considered quite rude, especially as they did it in front of the old master.
Stepping back a few times, Butler Yan got closer to the head chef. They were around the same age and seniority in the household. He subtly nudged the latter's arm, trying to pull him out of his trance.
Realizing what the butler was doing, the head chef blinked his eyes before breaking the uncomfortable silence. He quickly gave a deep bow to Liliana.
The head chef's action caught everyone's attention. They also bent their torso forward, thinking how rude they were for not greeting the young lady.
