To Save His First Love’s Daughter, He Let Mine Die

A psychiatric patient from Rockville had escaped, kidnapping every child from my daughter’s kindergarten.

My husband, the chief negotiator, promised me again and again before stepping inside that he would save our daughter no matter what.

I waited outside, trembling with anxiety for three endless hours, only to see him emerge carrying his first love’s daughter in his arms.

“The negotiation failed. I only had time to save Cassidy’s daughter…” he said breathlessly, before rushing toward the hospital without sparing me another glance.
