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.

She never did anything like this before. Not that she was cautious and thoughtful, not at all. She was known for being impulsive, for doing things and then thinking about them.

But throwing the entire content of the bottle at someone?

That woman had to wear everything branded, everything expensive and classy. You could tell it even in the way she breathed.

/"I’m not going anywhere. I’m where I’m supposed to be,/" the comment surprised and delighted her, but she wanted to disguise it.

/"I’m sorry I did that to your little friend. She’s mad. But you looked uncomfortable, and she was.../"
