Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

And yet...

"Wait, that doesn't add up."

She hesitated. "Mila and Lysander's marriage was never made public. No one outside knows they're together, so how could—”

"Are you sure Giselle doesn't know?" Sophie broke in at just the right moment.

Miranda's fist clenched reflexively. Of course Giselle knew. Damn it!

How could they have overlooked that? Giselle was absolutely in the know. She'd gone after Jade first, caught them completely off guard, steering their attention in the wrong direction. Jade was probably just a decoy.

Their enemy was using the Montgomery family's old rivals to do their dirty work!

Giselle didn't even have to get her own hands dirty-just a whisper about Mila and Lysander's relationship in the right ear would be enough. No one would care if they were divorcing; if Mila was a threat to Lysander, they might even-God, would they go so far as to kill her?

If they'd already resorted to kidnapping, what wouldn't they do?

Damn it!

Miranda instantly grabbed her phone and called Lysander. She couldn't worry about exposing Mila's secret trip abroad now-Mila was missing. That was all that mattered.
