----------
"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

The cab which Liliana booked on the e-hailing ride app was supposed soon. Once Shaelyn and Alvin got off the dance floor, she walked forward to meet them. Talia followed from behind.

The newlyweds were quick to be surrounded by fellow guests. Liliana had no choice but to try to get through them. If not, she might have to leave without seeing Shaelyn and Alvin.

To Liliana's luck, the bride heard her calling. Shaelyn turned her head around, her eyes sparkled.

"Liliana, Talia," Shaelyn tugged at Alvin's arm, gesturing at the two ladies.

The bride and groom greeted the guests who were flocking to them before making their way to where Liliana and Talia stopped. Four pairs of eyes grazed onto one another.

"Liliana," Alvin nodded at Liliana, his smile was polite, "It's good to see you here. I heard that you'll open your cafe soon?"
