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 was by actions like this that Timothy noticed her. He watched as she made an effort to wait for him for dinner, to go shopping, to sit and watch a movie. She liked to share her free time with him. Something Timothy has never done with anyone. He knew right away; she’d gotten more involved than she’d wanted to.

/"You’re shutting down, you don’t say anything, you don’t know anything. While your mother and I are here, waiting for you to tell us what happened. Why did she leave?/" his father spoke again, this time more heated and resentful.

/"You don’t know what a shame it was, to have walked out of that chapel without a marriage effected. Don’t think you’re going to stay in charge of Giannato Enterprise. You can say goodbye to managing the company./"
