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.

Because, at the end of the day, that was what he was doing with her.

/"I know you need the inheritance; I know you need me. God! The press must be going crazy!/" he looked up at the chapel, certainly reporters were scattered about and taking pictures of him.

He was so focused on Melody; he didn’t notice them.

So, he grabbed the door handle and slammed the limo shut. Then he pulled out his cell phone and dialed Clark.
