Liam
To an extent I expected something of this sort to happen. After our last confrontation, I came to believe that Hassan had lost his mind. The way he had reached for Amelie back then gave me the idea that he might actually become violent when faced with something as heartbreaking and unexpected as a divorce. Amelie did say she would be able to handle him on her own, but I just couldn't sit back and wait, not when every nerve in my body was screaming for me to offer her assistance.
After waiting for twenty whole minutes with no calls or messages from her, I immediately knew that things were probably not going the way they should. So I left the children in the maid's care and immediately drove straight to Amelie's place. One second later and I might have arrived too late, but thank goodness I had listened to my guts.
