[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.

After finishing her lunch, Liliana moved to the office table. She wanted to use this time to think of her future plans. Sometime later, she received new messages from Lucas.
Putting down the pen, Liliana reached out for the phone. With a few taps on the screen, the texts were displayed.
[Mr. Liu: Can we meet at 5:30 in the backyard?]
[Mr. Liu: Let's head to the park together]
Liliana thought it was a bit regrettable for not being able to see Lucas right now.
Perhaps he was busy with his personal matters at this time. Or, was he occupied with preparing for their picnic this evening?
Chuckling at herself, Liliana sent a reply to Lucas. A melodic hum escaped her lips.
[Liliana: Sure. I'll just be in the office :)]
In the next second, Lucas replied with an Okay sticker.
Liliana placed the phone back on the table. She refocused on what she was initially thinking earlier. Her eyes landed on the planner book she was writing on.
