The Secrecy of Deluca || One Shot

The Truth

Meredith stated at the phone on the bed thinking about, whether to listen to it or ask Andrew herself, she doesn't know whether to believe Adraino or not. But somehow she feels like he's sincere this time, the way he say it, it kinda convince her, but she's not going to fall for that until she heard it herself.

Flashback

"Call them immediately!" Vincenzo said sternly.

He wanted to talk to his sons about the share of the company, about their inheritance, and who's going to take over the company.

He's not dying but he wants to be prepared.

"Papa!?" Andrew said knocking on the door.

"Where's your brother?" he asked.

"He's using the restroom he'll be here any minute" Andrew said "What's this about again?" he then asked sitting on the chair in front of the table.

"Let's wait for your brother first" Vincenzo answered...

"Ou, okay" Andrew said quietly.

"Not, absolutely no!t" Andrew yelled standing up

"Sit down young man and let me finished!" Vincenzo said  sternly.

"No, you want me to use a woman in order to get my inheritance? my share?" Andrew said

"Well if you say it like that you're making me sounds like a monster, that's not what I meant!" Vincenzo demanded..

"Then what?" Andrew spat back

"I'd do anything, just tell me,get it over with" Adriano sigh annoyed.

."You're seriously considering his conditions!" Andrew asked madly frowning at his brother.

"It's too easy anyway" Adriano said

"Unbelievable!" Andrew sigh in disbelief.

"What I mean is, before you get your share of the company, you need to find the woman you will marry someday, the woman you'll have kids with, because I knew if I gave you your share right away you'd spent it on drugs" Vincezo tried to explain.

"That's not what you said earlier" Adriano said.

"You said,in order to get our shares we need to marry a woman and have kids" Andrew added.

"I did say that but you didn't let me finished" Vincenzo said.

End of flashbacks

"Hey!" Meredith heard someone stepped inside the room.

"Were you going to tell me" she begun standing up tears welling up her eyes.

"What do you mean?" Andrew asked confused sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Don't play dumb Andrew, You know what I'm talking about!" she spat.

"About what!" he spat back.

"You're using me to get your money and the position in the company" Meredith said her voice shaky.

"No I-" he started before Meredith stopping him.

"Save it, I don't want to hear anymore lies from you!" Meredith said walking towards the closet pulling out her luggage.

"Will just please let me explain!" he said trying to convince her.

"I should not have been in this house in the first place!" Meredith half yelled putting her clothes on her suitcase.

"Meredith that was a long time ago, I did not agree with that conditions" Andrew said "Pleas" he added stopping her from packing as she sobbed on his chest..

" It was never my intention to used you for money" he whispered caressing her back.

~~

"Explain it again" she sniff. They were sitting on the bed after Meredith mange to calm herself down.

"That was 7 years ago, a year after my mom died. I don't even know why Adrian have that record tape. When my dad got sick 2 years after we had that conversation, he told us that we'll have a proper conversation with our lawyers" Andrew begun. "He realize it wasn't fair for me because Adrian was seeing someone at the time from Seattle an-" he added before Meredith interrupt him.

"He was seeing someone from Seattle?" Meredith asked "Did he tell you her name?"

"As far as I can remember I think he said Louis"

"Louis...... my name is Louis" Meredith said.

"No.... don't tell me he was your ex?" Andrew asked panicking.

"He wasn't my ex, there was no us, he was just a friend of mine who I trusted and treated like a family and he-" she said looking down feeling tears welling up in her eyes.

"And?" Andrew asked.

"He-"
