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 was sure Melody didn’t have any kind of disease and pregnant she already was. He didn’t have time to think about anything else. He always had been careful about sex, but on this occasion, he looked for every reason, to feel satisfied, for being selfish and wanting to feel her all over.

/"You fill me up,/" she whispered into his ear, as he began to move slowly, giving her time to get used to him being inside her.

/"Does it hurt?/" his teeth were clenched. He could barely get the words out. He was trying to control himself. But Melody’s inner muscles weren’t making it easy for him.

She was so tight, he thought he was dying of pleasure.

If it was possible to die of pleasure, he was sure he was going to do it tonight.

/"I want you so bad, it hurts,/" she said. /"Make love to me./"
