Start from the beginning
                                    

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.
