A few minutes later, the gas station was surrounded by patrol cars. My husband was arrested right next to the pump, and I still couldn’t believe this was happening to me.

Later, the same attendant approached me and quietly said:
— “A few days ago, I saw him here again. He was with another woman.”

Then he added:
— “I recognized her later on the news. She went missing.”

And at that moment, I realized: that night, the same fate awaited me.
