38 The Broken Phone?

Ira had a mess in her brain.

"Viv, imagine a situation where you have my phone, which you had broken into pieces. I mean, why would a husband throw her wife's phone, stamping on it and breaking it?" Ira asked Viv. She was ducking her head in his embrace.

"Maybe If I had seen something in it, a message, a call, a photo which made me very angry." Viv replied.

"Like what?" She inquired.

"I should know the whole situation. To answer." He paused "How was their relationship?"

He asked.

"The man loved her a lot. The woman was cheating on him for years. She cheated him financially and emotionally. Took all his money and his heart. He never knew." her voice sounded sad.

"If that's so, you know the reason. He found out!"

She knew this was the most possibilities, but didn't want to believe.

Was Clara so black-hearted?

The Broken Phone!

Ira knew the phone now, it was Clara's phone which she had stolen yesterday. Same model. Same pink cover. Same doll keychain.

Now things were clear. She missed some facts.

That day It was around 8 pm she visited Ash. Clara wasn't home. So was George. Where were they?

And the broken phone...

Did he had just fought with her? And In anger broke her phone!

'Was it because he came to know about her affair?' 'Or was it, he came to know of her and her families grand plan' Whatever the reason, it should have been enough to hate her.

Then why did he express so much love for Clara in his farewell note?

'I am sorry for disappointing you, Clara. I love you and George.I want you to love life and know I'm always with you.'

Sorry for disappointing you! Love you! A man who came to know of his wife's betrayal will...Say 'sorry' and 'love you' to her?! There was the only possibility which came to her mind.

The note was fake?

It was his handwriting. But It was never analyzed by a handwriting expert!

If the note is fake.

The suicide is fake.

No one saw him jump! He jumped before dawn.

No, Ash was not that weak!

He would make trouble but still came to her to settle shamelessly.

And what of the psychiatrist prescribed for his depression.

Is that fake too?

If Ash didn't commit suicide, how did he fall from 10 the floor, Was it an accident?

They had found him intoxicated.

Recalling all the events taking place before, during and after the suicide,

Suspicion got a conviction.

Clara said he drank alcohol before the post-mortem exam found out!

How did Clara know that he was drunk when she didn't go back? What did she say in the interview with the police?

'If I knew I would never allow him to meet his sister.'

She was never there in the house.

She left him that day...

She was lying!

How did she know that Ira met Ash?

Ash was not intoxicated at 8 pm.

So about alcohol?

They met again before dawn...!!

Perhaps, they had an argument and Clara left.

She came back...

If all her assumptions are true then she would bury the whole family underground.

They killed him.

Was the hatred enough to last generations?

Yes, James hated Dad. Hated him to the bones. He did everything in hate, not greed, which made his determination to destroy dad grow stronger.

Why was this hatred extended to Ash?

He did nothing wrong.

Why was he killed, did he come to know something he shouldn't have?
