Simon Cowell's Daughter

Chapter 2 : Simon Cowell is My Father?!!

Ariel's POV:

My aunt and I arrived at her house an hour later.

"Let's go inside" my aunt said getting out of the car. I follow after her.

"You can stay in the guest room and here's a set of fresh pajamas. I'm sure we're the same size. Also if you want to take a shower it's upstairs 2 doors down" she tells me.

I grab the pajamas and hug my aunt. "Thanks for everything" I sayto her.

"You're welcome Ariel. You know I will always be here for you no matter what. Family always stick together." We both smile at each other.

"Well I will let you go change and get settled. I will make us some hot chocolate" Aunt Karen tries to cheer me up a bit before going into the kitchen.

...

After I showered and put on my pajamas, I start heading downstairs. Just as I got to the middle of the stairs I hear my aunt talking to someone.

"What are you doing here?" my aunt says to the guy.

"I came to see my daughter" the stranger says to her.

"You chose this day to see her? After all these years you decide to show up and pop back into her life. She doesn't deserve this. Ariel is really in a fragile state right now. She lost her mother today." My aunt says to him.

Just as my aunt told that to him the guy fell to his knees. "Laura is dead?"

She sighs sadly and nods."Yes. She had stage 4 cancer Simon."

My mom had cancer and I didn't even know about this. My mom hid this from me and so did my aunt.

"She's gone. Laura is gone" he whispers.

"Simon you got to go before Ariel sees you" Aunt Karen says pushing him out the door.

"No. I have a right to see Ariel and so help me God I will see her." Simon argues with my aunt.
Why does this guy want to see me? I never seen this guy in my entire life.

"What right do you have to see Ariel? You left her and Laura a week after your daughter was born. Do you think your daughter wants to see you? She is fine without you Simon" my aunt yells back.

"I do still have the right because I am the father of Ariel. I am here now and I will try to set everything right between me and her. It has nothing to do with you. Also you don't know the whole story on why I left. I was trying to protect them Karen" Simon says to her.

"Protect them? Protect them from what? You know how bad of a condition Laura was when you left? She was heartbroken and went through depression. You made her go through hell. The only reason she held it together was because of Ariel. " Aunt Karen argues back to him.

"It's none of your business why I left. The only person that needs to know everything is Ariel. Where's Ariel? I want to see her!" Simon yells at Aunt Karen.

Not wanting to hear them argue anymore, I decided to face the both of them and go downstairs.

When I reached the bottom of the stairs, they both stopped yelling at each other and stared at me. Nobody said anything. So I decided to break the silence.

"What is going on here and who are you?" I say eyeing Simon. Pretending that I didn't have a clue on what they were discussing and who he was.

"Ariel is that you? My gosh you're all grown up" Simon said giving me an unexpected hug.

I froze not knowing what to do. My aunt just eyed him staying where she was standing. I put my hands on his chest and pushed him away a little.

"Not to be rude or anything but who are you?" I ask him.
