The Billion-dollar Divorce Novels & Stories

her mother asked. “Bruce and I are getting a divorce, Mom.” Finally, Sharon answered, holding her breath. “You’re getting a divorce?” her mother exclaimed in shock. But Sharon nodded, confirming that what she said was true. “But why, Sharon? Weren’t you deeply in love with each other? Your marriage has only lasted four months. Why suddenly say that you want a divorce? There must be something that caused all of this.” “Bruce’s parents want me to divorce him. They forced me to sign the divorce document. And Bruce doesn’t know,” Sharon explained.

I said like he even had my number. "Of course," he said. "You're going through a divorce but for some reason in the court documents it says you filed for it immediately your mother was put to rest." Dominic said as I frowned. "That's impossible. It was Julian that filed for it." I said. "But it's your name in the court documents. And you requested five billion dollars, seems a bit too much for alimony doesn't it." Dominic said and I couldn't believe it. My lawyers said the highest I could get was the three hundred million I was promised. Where did this five billion come from?

“Six?” “Yes.” Aurora laughed softly in disbelief. “That’s unbelievable.” Lucien shrugged. “It’s also accurate.” Aurora paced again, her thoughts racing. “So let me see if I understand this.” Lucien nodded. “Go ahead.” “Tonight I divorced one billionaire.” “Correct.” “And now I’m apparently meeting five more.” Lucien grinned. “When you say it like that, it sounds like a very unusual evening.” Aurora gave him a look. “It is a very unusual evening.”

As I hugged her tight to me, feeling her little arms wound around my neck; for the umpteenth time, I was glad that I decided to keep the pregnancy. The news of my pregnancy had, innitially, left me devastated.

And with the discovery that caused our breakup, he probably was not ready to get tied down fathering a child.

“And I’m not surprised. I expected something like this. But Knoxx, you and I both know what’s really going on. Dolly plagiarized my designs, and I have all the proof I need to take this public if I want to.” There’s silence on the other end of the line. I let my words hang in the air, knowing he’s thinking it over. Knoxx is smart—he knows the damage this could do, not just to Dolly, but to him and his company. He won’t want a scandal like this. “I told you before,” I continue, “if you agree to the divorce, I won’t sue Dolly for plagiarism. It’s that simple. You get your clean break, she gets to keep her reputation, and I get what I want.”

“Elara, this industry is ruthless. You don’t just walk into it.” Her eyes hardened. “You did.” “That’s different.” “Why?” she asked quietly. The question hit harder than I expected. Because I didn’t have a good answer. “You’re doing this to prove something,” I said finally. A slow smile appeared on her lips. “Of course I am.” “At my expense.” “Not everything is about you, Julian.” But the way she said it made it clear that this very much was. “You’re turning our divorce into a business war,” I said.

Twenty thousand dollars a month? One million dollars after the divorce? She would be an idiot to compromise this precious marriage. The sum was a billion times higher than what she had planned to extort from him. She felt cheap, stupid. Here she was, planning to extort a billionaire, but she ended up mocking herself. Her billionaire husband wasn't fa

~SEBASTIAN~ Later that afternoon, Lyons called to confirm that he was done with the divorce papers as I instructed him. "About the divorce settlement, Mr. Frost -" "Make it one billion." "What?" He was surprised. I mean, I was the richest man in the country, and second in the world. How could I let my wife go with nothing to her name? "Make it a billion, Lyons." "Oh, okay. I will make those changes right away before I mail the papers to your house."
