Raymond's P.O.V

NEXT WEEK
I waited patiently for Andrea to arrive...it's been a long time since I saw her mother and I'll love to finally meet my daughter.
Yes, Andrea Isabelle Quinn is not a Quinn she's Venturi and she needs to know the truth...
"Mr. Venturi?" my secretary, Laura, said as she got in.
"Yes, Laura?"
"Miss Quinn and her mother are here"
"Please, let them in" I said.
I stood up as I saw how my daughter lit up the room with her amazing smile, but her mother...she looked cold.
"Hi Andrea" I said as we shook hands.
"Hi, Mr. Venturi" she said smiling.
"Call me, Raymond or Ray" I said as we all took a seat. "Laura, can you please some ice cream for the ladies?"
"Yes, sir" she said as she got out the room.
"So, Andrea tell me...do you like London?"
"Yeah, I love it" I said.
"Well, you'll love it even more when you get to know it"
"I guess" she said.
I smiled and nodded.
Laura came back with the ice cream and placed it in front of Andrea and her mother.
"Laura, tell Anthony and Jack to get in please" I said.
She nodded and called them...the two men I trust the most in the world are going to take care of my daughter.
"Andrea, this are Jack and Anthony and they're your new escorts"
"Escorts?" Layla asked.
I nodded, "She'll need them"
"Wow..." Andrea said.
"Guys, listen..." I said. "You're going to take Andrea to meet the city and if she sees something she likes, she can get it okay? After that you can take her to the house and show her the room. She needs to be at the house at 9 and in bed at 10, got it?"
"Excuse me, but who you are to tell my daughter at what time she has to be in bed?" Layla asked.
"Look, Miss...Dancing is an amazing sport and at the same time it's hard. When she comes here I don't want her to feel tired, since that's the way she'll get out of here" I said.
"That's true, mommy" she said.
"Anyways, can I count on you guys?" I asked.
Anthony and Jack nodded.
"Andrea, you may leave..." I said.
Once she got out the room, her mother turned to look at me.
"How can you do this?" she asked.
"Layla, she needs to know the truth..." I said.
"I know, but this is not the way to tell her!"
"Layla, you've been lying to her all this years...she's not a Quinn, her last name is Venturi and we're going to tell her the truth...I've been years away from my daughter and no one is going to keep me away from her" I said.
She sighed, "She needs love, Raymond not a bunch of expensive things"
"I know, Layla...and that's exactly what I'll give to her. All my love and support..."
"I'll go to the house and wait for her"
I nodded, "My driver will take you"
"See you soon, Raymond" she said as she got out my office.
There are little things I know about my daughter. I know she loves ice cream, dancing, music...but there are a lot of things I don't know about her and I want to know.
I know Layla will talk to her, once she gets home and I need to get ready for what's coming next.
"Mr. Venturi?" Laura said as she got in.
"Yes, Laura?" I asked as I looked up at her.
"She knows?"
I shook my head.
"When you're planning to tell her?"
"When it's time, Laura...but I'm sure her mother will take care of it"
"I want to spend time with my niece" she said smiling.
"And you will, sister"
Tomorrow, I want to go out with her and explain her things with details, even though I know she'll be mad at me.
"So, what's next...buying her a car?" Laura asked.
"That's not a bad idea...she's soon going to turn 18 and she's going to need one"
"Well, I saw this amazing baby blue Lamborghini...I'm sure, she's going to love it!"
"Lamborghini? Laura, she's 17..."
"A Ferrari?"
"Maybe, I should let her choose"
"Dude, come on...a Lamborghini will be nice, plus baby blue it's her favorite color"
"I'll think about it"
"And I already got the tickets for Italy...I'm sure mom will love to meet her granddaughter" she said as she stood up and got out the room.
I'm sure our mother will spoil Andrea as much as I do. I like the idea of getting a Lamborghini but I'm sure Layla is not going to agree to that...
Layla and I used to be that typical teen couple...I loved her with all my heart and I still do, she's my daughter's mother.

FLASHBACK
"Honey, I have to leave" I said.
"Again?" she asked.
"Yes, again..."
She sighed, "Ray, there's something I need to tell you"
"What?" I asked as I faced her.
"I'm pregnant..."
"What?"
"2 months"
"Why you never told me?" I asked.
"I wanted to be sure, plus it's hard to tell you things when you're always traveling"
I smiled, "We're having a baby"
"Yes, we are..."
"But it seems you're not happy about it" I said as I grabbed her hand.
"I am, but you're always away from me and what will happen when the baby is born? Her father will be always absent?"
"Honey, don't say that...I promise I'll be there for her and you, but promise me something"
"What?" she asked.
"If it's a girl, you'll name her after our mother's...and if it's a boy, afterour father's, okay?"
She nodded.
I hugged her and kissed her cheek, "I can't believe we're going to be parents"
