"Didn't I tell you not to come here again?"

"Please let me explain..I'm truly sorry for what I said and I know that deal was extremely important, but I couldn't let him have his way with anyone he wants. I promise I'll make it up for you. I'll make sure none of this happens again." Jun Seo said in a quiet, monotonous voice without looking into her eyes.

"I can clearly see what your intentions are..you are doing this to ruin my reputation..my company's reputation so that people start talking about how I can't manage it anymore and that's how I'll have nothing under my control. You want the ownership of this company as soon as possible an-"

"I just want you to act like my mother." He looked up at her with tears in his eyes. Shock was evident on her face. He hated that he couldn't control his emotions when it came to his mother and wife.
She didn't say a word..

"I can't do this anymore. I'm sorry." He harshly wiped his tears and got up to leave. His voice was again expressionless and before she could stop him, he walked out.

For the first time, she felt horrible.
It was extremely hard for her to put her ego aside and accept the fact that she was unfair to her son.. her conscience was continuously pricking her..the guilt was always there.
But she couldn't openly accept the fact...she couldn't just act like nothing happened all of a sudden.
It hurt her ego even to think about apologising and accepting him as her son..it simply meant defeat and that was not an option.

She was driving back home but her mind was somewhere else. She never had enough time to think about her life..but now her mind was racing and every important thing that happened to her was flashing before her eyes..

A pounding headache started to make its way inside her head. She tried to concentrate but it seemed to increase with every passing second..she momentarily closed her eyes and opened them just to find her vision blurred. She lost control of her car and before she could regain it, a speeding truck hit her swerving car from the side and caused it to flip and crash into the footpath..and the world darkened around her...
