Within one week, a suicidal pregnant woman, broke them apart, and feeling her trust betrayed, Laura's world spirals out of control. In the beginning of May, she went on a trip to Italy, for recreation and distancing, simply looking for peace and quiet. 2 days, before she was to return to Denmark, a beautiful Italian, Matteo, swept Laura off her feet. She stayed with Matteo, and became very loved by his family. Together they had a beautiful daughter; But before her first birthday, her papa Matteo died; at least, that is what Interpol, for whom Matteo works, want the family to believe.
