Disclaimer: I do not own all the characters in cardcaptor sakura (except for Kotaro Ayumu, Sakura's husband). I was just borrowing it to make a story. And the movie "Intolerable Cruelty" isn't own by me either. I swear I won't use it for money things. So please, don't sue me… ^^

Unfortunately his husband paid the cleverest lawyer in the business, Li Syaoran. Tension got between them, will they remain enemies? Or everything went further…
Intolerable Cruelty chapter 1
[Knowing the player]
Sakura moved inch by inch to the edge of the bed. It has been enough for her pretended to be a good wife. She has never loved this old man. Her intention was all about his money. Yes, it was the fact that he is a multi-millionaire that made her to married him. But after this long two years, she had enough. She would ask for a divorce tomorrow. By the time when the court agrees with her, she would be so damn rich.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
The next morning, Kotaro woke up and found that Sakura wasn't there. He looked around the room and saw nothing. 'Damn! I hate the fact that she isn't with me… I really get head over heels towards her.' It was true. Kotaro Ayumu had always head over heels towards Sakura. How couldn't he if he was 60 years old and she was only 25? And she was always very caring and loving. He could never ask for a better person to be his wife than her, Sakura Kinomoto. He got up from his king sized bed. 'It's strange; she never leaves me alone like this for a long time, especially so early in the morning.' So, he decided to go downstairs and looked for her.
"Sakura, Sakura honey, where are you?" He shouted to the dining room. But she wasn't there. The breakfasts were still prepared neatly, barely even touched.
Suddenly, a maid came into the room. "Mrs. Sakura has left this morning, sir." She said.
"Did she tell you where she goes?"
"No, sir." The maid bowed respectfully.
"Okay, you may leave. I'll eat the breakfast as soon as she arrives."
"Yes, sir." Then the maid disappeared behind the kitchen door.
'It has getting stranger, where did she go so early?' Kotaro thought to himself. Then he decided to wait for her with taking a bath.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
"Are you sure you want to ask for a divorce Mrs. Ayumu?"
"Yes." Sakura nodded her head slightly. She was sitting in her lawyer's office. His name was Eriol Hiragizawa.
"I see. May I know the reason? You can't ask for a divorce without any particular reason, Mrs. Ayumu."
"Sakura will be enough. I don't want to be reminded to that man." Sakura said a little pissed off by the name Eriol called her.
"I understand Mrs. Sakura. So, what would be the main reason for you to ask a divorce?"
"I can't stand him anymore. He was always very possessive. I don't have anymore space to breathe. He stole my freedom."
"Okay. So that's the main problem. Are you sure you don't want to try again? Maybe it was only a misunderstood." Eriol said with full of concern.
"No, thanks. Enough is enough. I can no longer see him as my husband."
"I see. Okay Mrs. Sakura. I shall proceed your case as soon as possible. Your husband will receive a notification soon enough. And after that, we shall go to the court room."
"We will win, right? It's not a big deal for you to give me my freedom, right?" Sakura asked urgently.
"I hope so. I deal with many similar cases and most of them are succeeded." Eriol replied with proud in his tone.
"Now, fair lawyer, I was just wondering… Before I got married, my husband and I signed a prenup. It stated that if we went our separate ways, we have the rights to share our money in two. So, if we really are separate, do we still have the rights?" That's the whole point of things Sakura wanted to ask from the beginning.
Eriol could smell something in Sakura's question. He had another feeling from the beginning with this woman. First of all, for a 25 years old woman, wasn't it weird to married with a 60 years old man? But then, Eriol found out that he was a millionaire. He owned tons of money in his pocket. So, Eriol came to one conclusion, he defended a gold digger. A very attractive gold digger exactly. If he wasn't married to his wife by now, maybe he has flirted her.
"If you sure you have signed the paper properly, I suppose the rules are still on."
"Well then, I suppose we're done for today. Please inform me regularly with the case." Sakura rose from the chair and shook Eriol's hand.
Then, she went out of the room with a smile. Soon, she'll have half of the millionaire's money.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Sakura opened the large door to found that Kotaro was sitting on the living room's chair. He stared at her as if he wanted an explanation. He had called her cell phone thousand times but she shut it off. Sure she didn't want him to know her plan.
"Where have you been?" He asked her with an icy tone.
"Just walked down the avenue. They opened a new boutique around the corner." Sakura lied.
"Early in the morning? What a strict shop."
"Oh, come on honey… You don't have to be mad like that. I was walking down the avenue to find something new. And why did I go so early was to find clear air." Sakura went to his chair and caressed Kotaro's cheek slowly.
"Why didn't you tell me? I was freaking out. I thought you were kidnapped or something!"
Sakura kissed his cheek. "Now, now dear. You don't have to feel like that… I promise I won't do it again."
"Promise me? Now, how will you pay me for your fault?" Kotaro asked seductively.
"It's only 11 a.m. What do you want me to do, darling?" Sakura already knew what he wanted. Actually, she felt like she wanted to puke if she had to have sex with him again. 'God, would you make him realizes how old is he?' Sakura thought to herself.
"Pay me in bed my cherry blossom."
Then Kotaro dragged her to their bedroom, shut the door off and locked it. He didn't want to be interrupted while he was having fun with his wife. But he didn't know. Maybe it was fun for him, but it was a pure torture for Sakura.

Two days later….
It was a bright Monday morning. Kotaro Ayumu was eating his breakfast when a maid came into the room with envelopes on her hand. Sakura was still taking a bath upstairs.
"Good morning, sir. There are some letters for you. Where do you want me to put it?" The maid asked respectfully.
"Just give it to me. I'll see whether they're important."
"Yes, sir." The maid walked towards Kotaro and gave all the envelopes to him. The maid then bowed and dismissed herself.
Kotaro looked at the envelopes one by one. Most of it is credit card bills. And the rest of them are advertisement. But then, he realized there was a thick broken white envelope. It addressed for him. He was curious, so he opened it and took out the letter inside. He read it slowly. Then, his face changed.
"Good morning, honey. Have you finished eating your breakfast?" Came Sakura's voice in the room. She was just entered the room.
Kotaro didn't reply her. He was very shocked and he didn't even move. The letter was still on his hand.
"What's the matter, dear?" Sakura asked with concern.
Kotaro still didn't reply. He looked at her straight in her eyes. Sakura could see his eyes were blurred with tears. Then, Kotaro gave her the letter. Sakura read it and looked at him.
"So, you have read it, right?" She asked.
Kotaro only nodded. "Is that true?" He asked her with sorrow in his voice.
"Yes. I'm sorry Kotaro, but… It's not that I don't love you… I always do… It's just…"
"What?! You tricked, right? You have never loved me! You… you only after my money!" Kotaro got up from his chair and pointed a finger towards Sakura. He was furious.
"No… no Kotaro…you're wrong… I love you… it's just… I need to be by myself, I can't take the responsibilities of being your wife… I'm still young…"
"Yeah. So you're young and I'm old…"
"Kotaro… please…"
"Get out of my house!"
"Kotaro… please… forgive me…"
"I said get out! Do I have to call the security first?" Tears were welling from Kotaro's eyes.
"No… no… I'll go… but I still want a divorce…" Sakura said. Her voice was shaking. She never knew that Kotaro would be this furious.
"Okay! Let's see at the court! Who will win this case, you… or me?"
Kotaro walked out the room. Sakura stood still on her foot. Suddenly she scared. Kotaro's expression was very serious when he said the last words. Maybe, her divorce wouldn't be that easy…
