Catherine has been married to Dr. Alexander Ramirez for five years— five years without a single touch, kiss, or warmth. He said he hated physical contact, and she believed him. Until their fifth anniversary, when she found him tenderly caring for another woman—the woman he once loved. That night, under the rain, she realized her marriage was nothing but a lie. She walked away with tears in her eyes… But when she finally learned to live without him, Alexander came back with one sentence: “Catherine, I regret it.”
Chapter 1
I was still a virgin even though I had been married with my husband Alexander for five years.
Only because he said he didn't like physical contact.
On the day of our fifth wedding anniversary, I endured an exhausting journey just to be with him.
But I was met with a heartbreaking scene: he was taking off a soaking-wet pair of shoes and socks for another woman.
"Look at you, still acting like a child. What are you going to do without me?" he said.
In the pouring rain, I stood frozen, clutching a bouquet of roses, soaked to the bone.
In the distance, the woman, wearing a tailored suit, was chatting and laughing with Alexander, her face slightly turned toward him.
I had never seen Alexander look so tender, as if all the hardness in him had melted away.
When the woman spoke, he smiled faintly, his eyes fixed on her.
Six years ago, I accidentally rear-ended Alexander's car.
The moment he stepped out of the driver's seat, I fell for him.
He was one of the best surgeons
