My Own Fame (Sequel to 'The Trap')

Holly's POV Chapter 2

Hey guys! There's SO much Saula in this chapter! I hope you enjoy this as much as I loved writing it! This is a pretty long chapter, hope you don't mind!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My life has changed a lot since my Mom met Simon. Some changes were good because now I have brothers, five more sisters, and most importantly I have a father that loves me. However, there are some changes that I regret and wish I could go back into the past and undo my mistakes. But since that's not possible, I've come to terms with all of my mistakes and have accepted all of it as my past. My parents have been amazing and very patient with me during my growth and maturity over the years. 

Both Mom and Dad were on time with actually was a shock to me. Dad would've been formally late if Mom wasn't with him, to be honest. Even though I saw them in the parking lot, my parents let their presence stand out for four reasons. Mom texted me 'we're here', Dad is so annoying loud that I heard him crystal clear with my office door closed. Then I heard all the other doors all around me open, and my co-workers were clapping for them. And to top it all off, some of my co-workers were calling me and telling me who was in the hallway. I really hope everyone won't give me special treatment and I'll still be one of them. Just then my thoughts were interrupted by a knock on my door.

"Hey Holly! Your parents want to see you. Is that okay if I let them in?"

I thought of it for a few moments before giving in. I knew I would never hear the end of it if I declined. But I had a gut feeling that Dad would barge in here regardless of what my answer was. But I'm glad that Kevin asked me before just dropping them off. So I stayed seated and watched as my parents' security team brought them in. I could've greeted them at the door and stand right next to my boss, but I didn't want Dad to steal my chair again.

"Thank you, Mr. Add-I mean Kevin. I got it from here."

He nodded and disappeared into the hallway. Then one of the security guys closed the door. (I'm so bad with names.)

"Have a seat, you two."

As my parents followed my instruction, I just stared into space to gather my thoughts and what I wanted to say at this meeting. I hope they will respect my wishes and do what I say. I know it'll be a challenge for Dad, but I hope he'll do it for me. We're in this mess because of him anyway.

"Okay, today we will do things my way. So listen to me very carefully. There will be no calling me your daughter and no cute names such as; sweetie, sweetheart, baby, honey, trouble and or darling. I'll decide how and when I tell the world of our connection. Neither one of you is going to force my hand today. Does everything make sense, Simon and Paula?"

Mom simply nodded as Dad spoke up. "Uh Holly, why are you calling us by our first names? You do know that we're your parents, right?"

"Oh wow, really? Well that's news to me. But seriously, I just wanted to remind you that I'm in charge today. You're not going to ruin this too, Simon. So let's all be professionals and mature about this, okay?"

"Holly, are you nervous?"

"No, are you?"

"Come on, tell me the truth."

"Truth? You can't handle the truth."

"Oh yeah? Try me."

I ignored him completely and I looked eyes with Mom.

"How do you live with him? He won't let things go. Your freaking husband is driving me crazy!"

I placed my head in my hands, trying to calm down and not let Simon get to me. Mom then walked over to me and wrapped her arms around me.
