13- I want a divorce
As the two continues to share wonderful birthday moments together at the bathtub..
Victoria then said..." Can I really trust you Amy"(her own new pet name for Amanda).
"of course 100%, and you will never regret it" replied Amanda.
"I have spoken with my own lawyer" (not the family's) she turned her face to Amanda "and I am filing for divorce from Oscar"
"Hmmmm, that's expected", Amanda gave a deep sigh.."but your marriage should win a GWR award for the shortest marriage ever" (10 minutes)
They both laughed seriously and Victoria asked.."what's a GWR"
"The record, Guinness World Record" Amanda replied with a smile.
"And it didn't stop there" Victoria continued, "it will be the most expensive divorce not just in California or USA, but in the history of modern mankind"
"Are you kidding me?" - Amanda now looked surprised.
"It's a $10 billion divorce suit and am sure he knows with what really happened, he will even happily beg me to take more" Victoria said with a grim on her face.
"Holy f***ing Shit" exclaimed Amanda with total shock.
"You mean you get $10billion for a wedding that lasted only 10 minutes" Amanda let out another exclamation.
"Yes, Mi amor..Yes Amy my Love" replied Victoria.
"He's a billionaire and he is currently worth $70 billion" Victoria Cole looked so confident of victory in court.
"And it didn't stop there, am getting a 35% from all revenues from the lunch if the Augmented Reality glasses" Victoria concluded.
Amanda kissed her and said.. "you are such a badass babe, you look gentle on the outside, but really a tough lady internally"

Oscar and the team at Zenith Tech looks like they will beat Anchor Technologies to the lunch of the 'Augmented reality glasses'
Amanda has resumed work again after the Miami weekend birthday party, and she knows any moment from now, Oscar will receive the bombshell.
The next day, a team of legal advisers visited Oscar in his office and presented the divorce papers to him.
This was really a bad time to present those papers to him.
He needed to be focused 100% on achieving this goal of the virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR) glasses that will change the face of technology forever.
"okay, I will get my lawyers to go through it and will reply you soon" - Oscar assured them.
Immediately they left , he called his best pal Harry from the legal department to go through the divorce papers and find anything they can use to outsmart Victoria.
Even though he never loved Victoria as much as he does to Amanda, it was still painful to be a young divorcee.
And loosing those billions at a time like this is what he can't let happen and will fight it to the end.
Harry came in and both discussed the divorce papers and the 35% reward from the VR/AR profits.
He took it to his office and studied it closely with the head of legal department.
Next Oscar sent for Amanda to discuss what has just happened.
"Have you recently contacted my wife" Oscar demanded of Amanda.
"Yes boss, I called to wish her a happy birthday"- Amanda replied to a gloomy Oscar.
"Is there any problem boss?" Amanda inquired.
"Yes, but very minor" Oscar looked at Amanda and said..."My wife just served me a $10b divorce suit and she is set to claim a 35% from all profit sales we make from our VR/ AR profits.
"What do you think I should do" Oscar demanded of Amanda.
"The legal team should handle that well, and since the lunch or our product is fast approaching, we shouldn't let this scandal overshadow what we have planned for years" Amanda replied her boss and former secret lover.
"A million thanks for your advice" Oscar now looks happy and told Amanda..."What would have happened if she had discovered both of us even did it in the elevator some days to the wedding".
"It would have been more devastating" Amanda said with her eyeballs elevated with shock.
Oscar looked at her and said..."thanks again for being so discreet with all our entanglements- none but the two of us know about it"
"It's okay boss, I needed to protect you and your new marriage" the hypocritical Amanda said.
"I miss you and I hope we can continue as lovers since I will be a divorced and free man again"- Oscar touched Amanda's right hand in a sensual and provocative way.
If Oscar had know that this devilish lady had taken her place in the honeymoon period, that she even got the news before him, he wouldn't even be having this conversation.
The next day, Harry and a team of legal and financial experts from the Zenith group visited him to discuss about the divorce papers.
Harry did most of the talking since they have agreed that it's better that way considering their long term friendship.
"So what do you think is the best solution to this mess I have caused the company"- Oscar confidently said without no signs of remorse.
Without mincing words, Harry looked at him and replied.."Sir we have studied the divorce papers carefully and it was well thought of and planned, and failure to do the right thing might be catastrophic"
"Just tell me what to do so that I can be free from that boring slut" Oscar raised his voice.
"We agree you sign it, and pay her what she demanded" Oscar and everyone present in the meeting nodded in agreement.
"It's best you transfer $1billion to her from the company's account and the remaining $9 billion be given as shares, bonds and liquid assets"- Harry lowered his voice as he spoke these words cos he thought Oscar will shout at him for agreeing to those crazy terms.
Harry then chipped in.." for the 35% revenue from the new product launch, we can cut it down to 25 or 30%"
Oscar took a deep breath, lowered his voice and said..."Give me the papers and I will sign all including the 35%, as long as I will be forever free from her, and I don't ever want to see her face again"
Oscar took the pen and signed it without no signs of regret.
"Send it to the lawyers tomorrow and have the $1 billion transfered to her, I want to stay focused with our new product lunch"
"And Harry, please tell my secretary to cancel every appointment I have today, I just want some time to myself"- Oscar said as he thanked the team for their good work.
