----------
"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

<.Back to the present, at Misty Vale Sanatorium.>

"How could he? He... not only he let people defame you but... also me?!"

Liliana's sorrow changed into fury. She clasped the bedsheet hard, veins popping up on the back of her hand.

The sight of Cassia' pale complexion made Liliana feel so sorry for her mother. There she was, lying motionless without knowing how much people had been defaming her.

"Mom... maybe, it's better that you don't know about it, en?"

The revelation gave Liliana a new resolution to cause chaos within the Xin family. She wouldn't just accept those slander ever again.

Her mother was never a homewrecker!

Liliana was aware of that fact but, knowing that Cassia was Thomas' legal wife before he divorced her to marry Katherine heightened the peak of her wrath.

Why did he marry her mother only to leave her for another woman?
