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

He closed the call. He would apologize later. In the meantime, he had more important things to do.

He went all the way to the living room and found Gia sitting on the couch. At another time in his life, he would have thought she was beautiful, an elegant and sophisticated woman. Now, after dealing with Melody, he saw only frivolity and disdain in Gia.

/"What do you want Gia? I thought I made it clear to you that I don’t want to see you again,/" he folded his arms and looked coldly at her.

/"When have you ever seen me give up on something I want?/" she said to him, as she got up from the couch. She was wearing black pants and a gold blouse with wide sleeves. /"I think it’s time for you come to your senses and come back to me sweetheart./"

/"I think it’s time for you to leave./"

/"Don’t be like that. Look, your woman’s not here. I think it’s the perfect time for you to.../"
