[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.

Before Lucas started his shift at 3 PM, he received a text from Liliana, telling him she might be a bit late. He reassured her that it was fine.
[Lucas: If I'm not at the cafe, I'm doing deliveries]
[Lucas: You can wait first]
[Miss Xin: Alright]
Michael was on duty today. Lucas had already informed him that an acquaintance of his would come to the cafe for the first time.
The pastry chef was glad to hear that, promising that he would make something special for Liliana. He also knew that she was the one Lucas had helped before.
So far, only Michael knew about Lucas' plan to resign soon. He also had seen the man surnamed Gao who was dating Lucas' ex-girlfriend now, the nephew of their owner.
The man's name was Nolan Gao. Lucas and Michael got to know about it the second time he came to MoodSpresso with Daphne.
