Timothy Giannato is a twenty-nine-year-old Italian multimillionaire who no longer believes in love, not since his girlfriend of more than a year of relationship, was unfaithful with a co-worker. Now Timothy prefers to live life on his own terms, no strings attached, no love, no suffering. 
Melody Redford is a twenty-two-year-old young woman, an animal and book lover, in her fifth semester of college studying veterinary medicine. Thanks to a night of drinking and partying, she became unexpectedly pregnant and her boyfriend Richard did not admit it and urged her to get rid of the problem. 
Melody’s family was no help either and forced her to make the most difficult decision any woman could make: to abort her child or to leave home and raise her child alone. 
Melody refused to have an abortion, so she was only three months pregnant when she moved in with her friend Lucy and got a job at a coffee shop to pay for doctor’s appointments and prenatal pills. 
That’s how she realized that it was going to be impossible for her to sustain a decent life for when her child was born. She was willing to do anything to avoid going back to her parents for help, let alone calling Richard. 
What neither of them imagined was that fate had an awfully bad joke for both of them, and it would show them that it is never too late to trust again.

The Italian's Proposal

/"You’re pretty sick if you think I’m going to stay with you in this place./" she didn’t touch the glass, she had always heard about alcohol hurting babies.

/"Sick or not, you’re still going to marry me,/" he said taking another sip of his wine. /"Do you know what you want to eat?/"

/"I haven’t even seen the menu, and I’m not really hungry anymore,/" and it was true, her appetite was gone. That lunch was turning out to be fatal.

/"Don’t let your emotions cloud your judgment. You must feed yourself for the sake of your child./"

/"Don’t tell me what’s best for my son,/" she glared angrily at him one more time and he smiled.

/"From now on I am a part of your life Melody, we should run the party in peace, at least try to,/" his voice was so seductive that Melody almost fell over.

Just as she was about to tell him where to stick his opinions a woman approached them.
