Chapter 2: The Phone on the Floor

As Ethan checked Olivia’s pulse, something caught his eye.
An iPhone lay near the base of the stairs.
The screen was still glowing.
Recording in progress.
He picked it up with trembling hands.
The video had captured everything.
Derek’s shove.
Olivia’s fall.
The moment she slammed into the floor.
Ethan’s fear turned into a cold, focused rage.
"She's fine, stop the drama,"
Derek called down.
Ethan slowly stood.
He raised the phone toward the men on the staircase.
"You kicked my pregnant wife,"
he said.

"And this is all on record."
For the first time that night, Derek’s smile disappeared.
