Charles turned and yelled at me, "If anything happens to Sarah, you'll regret it!"
He then ran after her.
I sat on the sofa, feeling a growing sense of dread.
I knew I had to divorce Charles.
I tried to calm myself and started gathering the divorce documents.
The thought of giving him half my assets made me even more agitated.
Two hours later, Charles called, sounding frantic. "Are you happy now? Sarah's really in trouble! Come to my parents' house right away!"
Before I could respond, he hung up
After a moment's hesitation, I decided to go. I needed to find out what was happening.

I could vaguely hear someone is crying.

I understood what was happening but pretended to be concerned, helping her up. "What happened?"
