Holy fucking shit.
"Oh my god, Ash." Madison's mouth is wide open.
"This still doesn't explain the fact that they were still together when she passed away," I say.
I dig through the file again and pause when I find a phone in a plastic bag.
"Do you have gloves?" I ask.
"Yeah..." She says before heading into her closet and bringing out a pair of pink silk gloves.
I quickly put them on and grab the phone from the bag.
It's an old iPhone 5.
I press down on the power button and wait for the apple symbol to show up.
I feel my heart rate increasing.
Is this how a fucking heart attack feels like?
The phone turns on and luckily there is no password.
I go through the contacts and only find 3 contacts, none under a name though.
Then I go through the voicemails and find one.
I push play.
"Jonathon...it's done. You won't have to worry about her going through with the divorce anymore. I expect the money to be transferred by tomorrow morning." A man says before the voicemail ends.
What the fuck?
"Someone threatened her," Madison says while I just nod.
Then I go to iMessage.
I look through the messages and pause when there was an image.
I tapped it so it would download.
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
My heart is going fucking crazy as I wait for the image to load.
"Ahhhh!" Madison lets out a scream and I drop the phone.
THUMP.
THUMP.
THUMP.
I had to grab my chest to hold back my tears.
I grab the phone once again and look at the picture.
It was a photo of my mother tied up and beaten.
She looked...dead.
"Asher I- I'm so sorry." Madison cries.
I don't reply.
I don't even think I can talk.
"I'm gonna kill him," I mumble.
"Ash-"
"I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL HIM!" I yell and throw the phone at the closest wall.
"HE PAID SOMEONE THE HURT HER SO SHE WOULDN'T DIVORCE HIM!" I scream.
"Asher! Before you do something stupid, think about the consequences!" Madison says as she slowly walks up to me.
"I don't care anymore. He deserved to die, NOT HER!" I cry and I feel her wrap her arms around me.
I quickly get up and grab the phone again.
