The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 101

Fletcher shot Vivica a cold glare before turning and walking back into the bedroom. A moment later, he reappeared, pulling a large suitcase behind him.

He hadn't taken all of his personal belongings when he’d moved out a few days ago and figured he’d come back over the weekend to grab the rest. Riley had just dropped her daughter off at preschool and, having some free time, insisted on coming with him. Fletcher had thought that since Vivica would be at the hospital with their son, the house would be empty. He didn't see the harm in bringing Riley along.

But when Riley saw the beautiful house they lived in, she couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. The master bedroom was so warm and inviting, and she recognized the designer brand of the large bed. On a whim, she started coming on to Fletcher, whispering that she wanted to try it out. And that’s how Vivica ended up catching them in the act.

As the two of them dragged the suitcase past Vivica, Riley paused, her voice dripping with provocation. "I’ll be the mistress of this house soon. I’ll be back."

Vivica scoffed. "Is that so? I was thinking your future residence would be a jail cell."

"You—"

Riley was about to snap back, but Fletcher wrapped an arm around her waist. "Riley, let's just go." He was worried the police would show up.

Riley shot Vivica a final glare before they headed for the door.

Suddenly, the phone on the floor began to ring.

Vivica glanced down and saw Joseph’s name on the screen. Just as she bent down to pick it up, Fletcher and Riley pulled the front door open. Standing on the other side were several police officers, their hands raised, about to ring the doorbell.

Inside, Vivica answered the call. "Hello, Mr—"

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Joseph’s deep voice cut in before she could finish.

On the other end of the line, Joseph heard everything. "Vivica," he said, his voice firm and serious, "go to the station and give them your statement. I'm on my way."

Vivica didn't hesitate. "Okay."

After dropping Vivica off at the hospital, Joseph had been swamped with work. He had only just finished when he noticed a message from her.

It was a five-minute video. He clicked play, his brow furrowing in confusion, but after only a few seconds, his expression hardened. The end of the video was chaotic, filled with the sounds of Fletcher and Vivica arguing. He knew instantly that she was in trouble and called her immediately.

After instructing Vivica on what to do, he delegated the rest of his work to his team and left with Roderic in tow.

Back at the apartment, Fletcher, pinned to the floor by the officers, cried out in pain. "Officers, this is my house! I was just getting my things! That woman is filing a false report! You should be arresting her!"
