----------
"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.

Get Rid of Him

Liliana rushed out of the cab right after it pulled up on the hospital porch. She almost slipped on the floor, only being saved by her quick reflexes.

Ignoring the stares given by other passersby, she ran to the elevator. Audrey's call from an hour earlier haunted her mind.

It was supposed to be a beautiful day with decent sunlight but, Liliana didn't have the luxury to admire the clear sky right now.

"Lili, Grandma collapsed. She's already admitted now. Come to Greenlawn Hospital."

Audrey only gave Liliana superficial information regarding Old Madam Shen's sudden illness. The latter quickly left the town hospital where Mrs. Fu was, directly coming to where Audrey told her.

Greenlawn Hospital was among the elite private medical center in the capital. Old Madam Shen often had her checkups there. Liliana used to accompany the old lady a few times before.
