[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.

The event ended around four o'clock. Liliana and Shaelyn joined Talia in one of the hotel rooms after all the guests left.
Instead of going to the restaurant on the ground floor, Talia opted to call for room service. The hotel concierges delivered the high-tea set to the room before swiftly leaving, giving privacy to the three ladies.
"Oh, how tiring," Talia twisted her neck, trying to relieve the stiffness there. She sat leaning against the single couch, her skirt flared out around her.
"You guys deserve rest," said Liliana before sipping her black tea, referring to Talia and her staff, "The launch was indeed magical. Certainly, so much effort was poured into it."
Shaelyn nodded, sharing the same tune with Liliana. She told Talia, "Even the pre-order list is full. You're smart for limiting each piece. Didn't some young missus and madams ask for customized orders too?"
