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

/"It’s not my fault my brother-in-law is a thief,/" she was offended, and her mother didn’t realize it.

/"I’m sure he had his reasons, perhaps compelling reasons,/" she looks at her disapprovingly. /"We shouldn’t judge at first, the best thing to do is to talk to him and see why he did it. We have known Equilay for years, he has always treated us all well, especially your sister./"

/"I’m not saying no, mom, but he’s not a good man, if you heard how he treated me on the phone./"

/"Sometimes you make people angry, you play the victim in everything. You make dramas in your head so easily, Melody,/" she didn’t believe what her mother was saying. How was it possible that she judged her like that? She didn’t trust her own daughter.
