One Exchange Server for two AD domains on two Forests

One client is having two locations, each has a separate AD domains and Forest (Windows Server 2008R2), with no trust relationship. Both locations have VPN connections.
The first location has Exchange Server Standard (2010) - To be migrated to 2013 - hosting the first domain.

The requirements are:
- Install Windows 2012 R2 on two new servers and Migrate user accounts for each AD accordingly
- Install Exchange Server 2013 and migrate Mailboxes of the fist domain
- Host the 2nd AD domain on the same Exchange Server

What are the steps to perform this, are there any documents?

If I need to design, what you are asking. I might create another forest and domain for Exchange alone and create linked mailbox for other forest. This is called, resource forest concept.  Read this MS KB:
