Flashback...
Ji Won smelt a bouquet of roses he bought when he just arrived at the airport . He couldn't wait to meet his beautiful wife as he missed her so much . It was a torture for Ji Won to be in Japan for these past three weeks . He could only cure his love sick when he called her wife , Min Ah but it was too short for him .
His worrieless towards his wife was huge when he had to left her three weeks ago as she was carrying their symbol of love , his child . He had promised Min Ah to be by her side when she was ready to deliver . For last night , he was a bit guilty as he didn't called Min Ah as usual because he was busy to finalize the meeting in Japan .
Ji Won rode a taxi and headed to their house . When he was on his cloud nine thinking about his wife , a sudden call from his mother shocked him . He sighed before he answered the call from his mother .
" Yes , mum ."
" Dear , please come home ."
" I'm sorry mum . I'll meet you tomorrow since I already on my way to my house . Min Ah is waiting for me ." Ji Won explains . He thought his mother would understand him as they had reconcile when his mother regretted what she had done .
" There's no one in your house , Ji Won . Min Ah is not there ." his mother answered with cold voice .
Ji Won stunned at his mother's answers .
" Why would Min Ah is not in our house ? She is not going anywhere mum as her due date is just around the corner ." Ji Won replied calmly as he tried to ease his heart .
" Listen to me dear , Min Ah is not there . I'm not lying . Please come home if you want to know ." his mother insisted .
Ji Won kept silence making his mother shouted his name through the phone . Ji Won ended the call without replying his mother .
" Sir , can we change the location ?"
" Yes , mister ." the taxi driver replied
Ji Won told the taxi driver his new location which was his family mansion . His heart thumped crazily during the whole ride to his family mansion . He hoped that everything will be fine .
But what he saw the time he reached the mansion wasn't something good for him as he saw someone he wished to be last to see in his life . His so called girlfriend before he met with Min Ah . Hyerin .
He approached his mother who was waiting for him in the living room with Hyerin acted so clingy beside his mother . He wasn't looking at that woman though she was trying to get his attention .
" What is exactly I need to know mum ? Where's Min Ah ? Do you happen to know where she is ?" Ji Won asked hastily . He was really worried about his wife as he couldn't reach her when he tried to call her before he arrived at the mansion .
" Oppa ! Look at what she did to me ! this is all her fault . She's such ungrateful woman ." Hyerin said while pointing at her injured head .
Ji Won looked at her sharply . No one ever dare to say such word towards his wife . " Don't you dare to call her like that ! She has a name . And what was she did to you ? As far I know , you're the one who always try to hurt her even though she's already married to me !" Ji Won hissed angrily .
Hyerin gulped in nervousness . Never once in her life she saw Ji Won this angry . She tried to gain his sympathy again when she managed to a pool of fake tears in her eyes . " You don't know her , oppa . She's is not kind heart as you always thought . This is the prove oppa , she hurt me . She knocked me with a glass bottle ! I was just trying to be nice with her . But look what I've got ." said Hyerin with tears in her eyes . Her heart was screaming in happiness when she saw Ji Won face change .
" Mum ?" Ji Won called his mother when his mother just stayed quietly there .
" Mum is it true ? Where's Min Ah ? Mum ! Answer me ! " he shouted at his mother when she remain silent , unmoving .
" It's true , son . I was there when she did that . She hurt Hyerin . I tried to stop her but she was too strong . She even pushed me dear ! She just ran away after she hit Hyerin ." explain his mother .
Ji Won gave both of them unbelievable look before let out sarcastic laugh making both his mother and Hyerin exchanged a feared glance .
" Do you think I believe that mum ? For god sake , Min Ah is pregnant for 8 months and soon entering 9 months , mum . And where the hell she got that strength to push you or to hurt her ?! By the way , thanks mum for creating such an excellent story . Based on what I heard from two of you just now , I know exactly what happened to her when you met her . How could you mum , I thought you already accept her ? I tried to believe you mum . I tried . Can't you learn to accept her ? Until when you're going to against our marriage . She had try her best not to hate you though you gave too much haters to her . Now , she's carrying my child yet you still hurt her . Tell me mum , what I should do to you for you to accept Min Ah ? Tell me !" Ji Won cried as he was too hurt .
Lady Cho tried to form a sentence from , but she couldn't . Her heart and mind were in mess when she saw her son crying . She thought her son was too strong and stubborn as he never cry in front of her . Was her too much ? She was only wanted the best for her son . But seeing her son crying making her heart clenched . This was the first time she saw Ji Won was too broken and hurt .
" Son ." Lady Cho called her son .
Ji Won wiped his tears and faced his mother . " Tell me , where is she ?"
" I..I..I don't know ." she stuttered . She felt powerless .
Ji Won didn't say any word as he suddenly turn his back to make his way to the frontdoor .
" Where are you going , son ?" Lady Cho grabbed Ji Won's hand .
" Don't call me your son , if I still not meet with Min Ah . You have lost your right as my mum when you hurt her and my child ." Ji Won said .
" No son , please don't do this to me . I'm sorry !" she suddenly begged on her knees . Hyerin stood in shock when she saw Lady Cho did that . This was not she wanted to happen .
" I was too stupid when I let you know my place before . I thought you took care of her with love . I'm sorry mum , I had to do this . Min Ah and my child are my life . Just pray that I'll meet her mum then I will forgive you ." Ji Won said his last words before he left the mansion .
Lady Cho shouted her son's name . That day , she lost her only son . She realised she made unforgivable mistake for hurting her daugther in-law . She ignored Hyerin calling for her . She wanted her son back .
The hurt and sadness was part of Ji Won life when he unable to track his wife . He tried his best by using all of his connection to find her . He had been doing that for the whole week . He never came to work as his mind was in mess . His mother had come to beg for his forgiveness , but he was too hurt to do that . Day by day , he was like a walking zombie in his own house . He didn't eat anything nor he took a bath .
Lady Cho was heartbroken when she saw her son was acting like that . She never give up to persuade her son as her came to the house , and cooked for him . She was also tried her best to find her daughter in-law . For the first time , she managed to ignore Hyerin who kept coming to her and tried to beg her to be with her son . Little did she knew , Hyerin was holding a grudge when she was treated like a nobody by Lady Cho . She vowed to herself that Ji Won was hers and she would do anything just to get him .

When they asked about Min Ah's child , the police knows nothing about it since they only found Min Ah body at that place . Ji Won once again lived in a sorrow and nothing could bring his life back . This made Lady Cho put all the blame on herself for making her son life miserable .
Lady Cho did everything she could to redeem her mistakes to her son and her late daughter in-law . Everyday she came and prayed for Min Ah at her grave though she knew it couldn't bring her life back . She was always stayed with Ji Won .
The hurtful and suffered moment was last for three years . Ji Won had come back and forgave his mother . He realised by living in sorrow would never brought his wife to life . He being the obedient one agreed to marry with Hyerin as she didn't stop trying to get him . At least , he wanted to make his mother happy even if he had to fake his happiness . He knew his mother only wanted to see him happy .
