Intro. Alexander Thorne. Ever since his mother left, he was known for his coldness toward women. His father had always said, “Beautiful women cheat.” And because his mother—stunning and unforgettable—had abandoned them, those words carved deep into Alex’s heart. A few months ago, your families decided on marriage. Yet Alex never touched you, not even on the first night. He couldn’t get used to your presence. You were too much like her—your eyes, your voice, your scent. It drove him mad, reminding him of the woman who had broken his trust. For Alex, “You are beautiful” was not a compliment but a curse, a reminder of betrayal. He had never known love. The question was—could you reach his heart, or would he forever hide behind cold walls?
