The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 100

Before the operator could finish, Vivica yelled into the phone, "There are burglars in my house! They're in the master bedroom! I'm holding the door shut, please hurry!"

Inside, Fletcher and Riley's faces went pale with panic. In the next second, Fletcher gave a final, desperate heave.

The difference in strength was too great. Vivica's muscles screamed in protest, and her fingers finally gave out. The door flew open with a loud crack, slamming against the interior wall.

The impact sent a jolt of pain through her hands, but she ignored it, snatching her phone off the floor and making a run for it.

"Vivica! Get back here!" Fletcher bellowed. He caught her in just a few steps, grabbing her and viciously slamming her against the wall.

"Ah!" A cry of pain escaped her as her head hit the plaster. The world spun, and a ringing filled her ears.

Fletcher pinned her shoulder, making it impossible to fight back. Riley rushed over, immediately trying to pry the phone from her hand.

Vivica deliberately resisted, clenching her fist tightly. The living room had a security camera, and their current position in the hallway was directly in its line of sight.

She could have just handed over the phone and avoided the pain—the video was already safe with Joseph. But this was a golden opportunity she couldn't pass up. Adultery plus domestic assault! The evidence would be irrefutable. When the police arrived and filed a report, it would be the nail in their coffin at the divorce hearing.

Her mind was crystal clear. She would endure the pain to secure her victory.

"Let go! Vivica, don't make me hurt you!" Fletcher's face was a twisted mask of fury, all traces of their shared past gone.

When Riley couldn't break her grip, Fletcher freed one of his hands and squeezed Vivica's wrist with brutal force. Her face went white with agony, her fingers went limp, and Riley finally snatched the phone away.

"Fletcher, I got it!" Riley shouted triumphantly.

Fletcher shoved Vivica away and grabbed the phone, immediately typing in her passcode.
