Sinatra was bleeding through my wall when my lock rattled hard, like someone had already decided my door belonged to them. I was in my Chicago apartment, river view behind me, iced tea on the counter, when my mother walked in without waiting. She did not say hello.

His lawyer went pale at the counsel table, and my husband’s smirk slid off his face like melted ice. Bradley Whitmore, the man everyone feared, stared at the pages he had just been handed and swallowed hard. Vincent leaned in to murmur something smug, but Whitmore snapped under his breath, “Stop talking.” In that tiny moment, I knew the story had flipped. Seven weeks earlier Vincent had pointed at the front door and said, “Forty eight hours, Miranda. Be gone.”
