The moment our eyes met, there was a hint of surprise on Calvin Gomez's face. Then, he composed himself. His eyes moved over our daughter's tear-streaked face, and he frowned. "You wouldn't even call a cab because you're trying to save money?" He nodded at his personal assistant, Liam Brown. "Call her a cab. I just remembered I have a project to check and endorse. It isn't too far out of the way." I was in shock, but Liam forced me into the cab that had just arrived before I could question him. The doors locked, and I received a text from Calvin on my phone: [Go home for now. I'll explain later at night.] The message before that was one he had sent yesterday. [Honey, working overtime is so awful. I'm so tired, but I feel motivated again when I think of you and our daughter.] With shaking hands, I replied, [Calvin, how can you do this to us?] As soon as I sent it, a red error icon appeared. He had blocked me. I still refused to give up and called him, but every call went s

Mia hit me so hard that I fell to the floor, and blood trickled down my nose. Calvin's eyes flashed with pity, and he instinctively reached out to help me. However, Mia held her forehead and leaned against him. "Honey, I'm so dizzy, and I just found out I'm pregnant. Will this affect our baby? Hurry and take me to a doctor." Calvin's expression changed. He threw a stack of cash at my face, then hurried away with Mia. Despite the pain, I staggered to my feet, but in the next second, I saw a nurse yanking Annie's IV and carrying her out. "All the doctors in the hospital have been called to treat Mrs. Gomez. We can't take this child anymore." Annie suddenly burst into tears. Her fever had not gone down, and her body started shaking after the fright. "She's having a seizure! Please save her! She's Calvin Gomez's daughter!" The nurse gave me a strange look but simply shook her head. I was so anxious I almost dropped to my knees. I had no choice but to use an old number to call C

The video on Calvin's phone showed Mia and me being kidnapped. With a dark expression on his face, Calvin took Liam to the address the kidnappers had given him. "I brought the one million dollars we agreed on. Let my wife and child go." The kidnapper in charge, Adam Smith, burst out laughing. "We know you have two wives, Calvin. We couldn’t figure out which one you cared about more, so we took both. Oh, right. The message probably wasn’t clear enough. One million dollars is only enough to ransom one of them. You can take one with you. We’ll keep the other one here for our entertainment.” Calvin's expression changed instantly. "I only have one million right now..." "If you want to save them both, I’ll give you another two hours. You can take one of them back first. But if you test my patience while I’m waiting, there's no telling what I’ll do to your wife. And if you dare call the police, I'll kill the hostages," Adam said. The more I listened, the more frightened I became.

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

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
