[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, Talia and Old Master Ding returned to Red Phoenix Manor after finishing their coffees and pastries at the cafe. The clock was showing a quarter past four at that time.
Then, they went to their respective rooms to get some rest before dinner.
"We usually have dinner at seven," said Talia as she walked with Liliana to where their rooms were, "There will be only me most of the time. My parents are busy and my siblings live elsewhere with their families."
Liliana had heard about that before. Talia mentioned that she always tried to make time to accompany her elderly grandfather as much as she could. She wished to alleviate his loneliness even for a bit.
"Will your parents and siblings come to visit here? I mean, before you fly to China again?" asked Liliana after consideration. She was curious about it.
