Get Rid of Him
[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.

"Breathe and enjoy your newly found peace."
Lucas' words tickled the apex of Liliana's heart. It sounded like a piece of simple advice but, she could sense his genuine concern for her.
Blinking her eyes, Liliana shifted her gaze from Lucas' face to the picnic mat. She randomly looked at the rest of the food containers. A pink blush streaked across her face, spreading warmth down to her neck.
Lucas held back from laughing. He didn't know why but, it seemed like Liliana was blushing over what he had just said.
"I'm being honest, Lili," Lucas reached out for one container. It had the last roses-apple pastry puff, "There's no need to always be on race with your goals. Take this time to relax your mind. I'm sure you'll think of something better later."
Liliana quietly picked the roses-apple puff handed by Lucas. She used a fork instead of her bare hands. She hadn't washed them after playing with the sparklers just now.
