I saw an advertisement on a secondhand marketplace app that someone was giving away an unused stroller for free, pickup only. The address was in a wealthy neighborhood across town. I secured my daughter against my chest in a baby carrier, spent two hours changing buses, then walked for another half an hour under the scorching sun before finally reaching the small mansion. I was drenched in sweat, and my daughter was so hot she started wailing. The seller was a woman about my age, with the refined air of someone who had been pampered her whole life. She studied my miserable state, her voice laced with both disdain and pity. "You came all the way from Eastside? And you're planning to push the stroller all the way back like this? My driver's going to take my husband to the office. He can drop you off on the way. Consider it one last good deed on my part." I thanked her profusely. I had just opened the car door when the man in the back seat stepped out to avoid any awkwardness. "I'll sit up front." I felt a little embarrassed, but the instant I saw his face, I froze. It was my husband, Calvin Gomez, the man who left early and came home late every day and had not come home for the holidays in three straight years because he claimed he was working for triple pay.

End of My Dream Chapter 9
It had been less than a month since we last met, but he looked so haggard that I almost could not recognize him if I had not been close. During the years when he pretended to be poor, I had carefully ironed every cheap suit he owned until it was crisp. He had always shaved clean too. Now he looked worse than he had ever been. When he saw me, he ran toward me in disbelief. "Rose, is that you? I've waited so long for you. You’re finally back!" His eyes became redrimmed. "Rose, I know I was wrong. I failed you and Annie. I've thought everything through. You and Annie are the most important people to me. I've already exposed Mia’s true colors. My parents are no longer forcing me to be with her. "Her son isn't mine, and I made her get an abortion. Now Annie is my only biological child. Come back to me. I've already secured my inheritance. We never have to pretend to be poor again. I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you." As I listened to his confession, I only stood

That night, I let myself weep. I cried out every tear I had carried through the first half of my life. They had both faced pressure from their parents. Calvin chose betrayal, while James chose loyalty. I had chosen wrong once, and I did not know whether I still had the strength to choose a second time. After having Annie, I could not gamble away everything as a mother so easily anymore. But James did not put me under any pressure. "Rose, even if you have no feelings for me, it's alright. I'm doing this entirely for myself." After he said that, I finally felt at ease enough to stay. Whenever nightmares woke me in the middle of the night, James always seemed to sense it and knocked on my door right away. He gently told me funny stories from our childhood to distract me. He even invited a child psychologist to work with Annie. "Even though she's not yet two years old, a child's subconscious plays an important role in shaping her development. It should not be overlooked."I

At a nearby coffee shop, Liam arrived soon after and handed over a stack of documents. "Sir, the good news is that aside from the remains of the two kidnappers, no other bodies were found at the scene. Rose and Annie are most likely alright. It's just that the area has been abandoned for years and has no security cameras. "We have no visual leads, and we found no suspicious footprints nearby. No one has returned to Rose's apartment during this period either. Her documents and personal belongings are all still inside. "I also sent people to search the train stations, the airport, and other places during this time. We even checked the highways out of the city, but we still didn't find Rose or Annie. "Humans don't simply vanish into thin air. That explosion is suspicious too. Although we confirmed that the kidnappers rigged the bomb themselves, if they really wanted to kill the hostages, why would they die in it too?" Liam became serious as he narrowed his eyes. "I think someone

Sensing something was wrong with Calvin, the firefighter beside him hurried to help him up. "Why don't you wait outside in the safe area until we have a result?" "I'm not going. My wife and daughter are still waiting for me! I can't leave them behind again!" He staggered toward the two bodies. The moment he saw their shapes, Calvin breathed a sudden sigh of relief. "They're not Rose and Annie! I knew they were fine! They must have passed out somewhere! "Hurry up and find them. Don't miss the area outside the warehouse either! What if they were thrown outside by the blast? They'd definitely be injured if they fell from this height! "Hurry up! My daughter isn't even two years old yet. The longer this drags on, the more dangerous it is for them!" Hearing that there was a two-year-old, the firefighters became tense and moved even faster. "Do you know what caused the explosion?" "Why were your wife and child here? What was your relationship with these two male victims?"
