If The Truth Be Told
A/N 1: I know it's been awhile, I've mainly been working on Substitute Lover, because I'm try to finish it, I've got a big problem, with finishing story's I begin to lose interest in them like I have Till' I Found You, which I'm still debating on continuing it, but anyways here's y'all go plz, review.
"Ethan." Ivy asked knocking on his bedroom door, it'd been quit a while since she had saw or spoken to him, as a matter a fact one year and 4 months, ever since the night before the news of his presumed death.
"Mother, Oh My God, what brings you here at this time of night?", Ethan asked, Ivy hadn't step foot in the mansion, since the night Theresa had kicked out.
"Well, I came to see my son.", Ivy replied. "Ethan, we thought you was dead."
"Sorry, mother, but that was the only choice I had, Alistair said, 'It was in my best interest for my family to think I was dead, especially Fox.' ", Ethan explained.
"Fox, why?", Ivy asked. "Ethan, you don't think he'd try to kill you, do you?", Ivy asked.
"No, Fox, may hate me, but, I don't think he's capable of murder, besides, he's to occupied as of late.", Ethan replied.
"I know, with Theresa, Nichole, Little Ethan…", Ivy began.
"That's not what I'm talking about.", Ethan replied, watched as Ivy shot him a confused look.
"You know, that new maid, Samantha?", Ethan asked.
"I've saw her time to time.", Ivy replied, not so sure where Ethan was going with this.
"Well, she's about to distract Fox, big time.", Ethan explained.
"How, so?", Ivy asked.
"Let's just say Fox's has always been a sucker for the damsel in distress.", Ethan replied with a smirk.
"Now, you've lost me.", Ivy replied.
"Well, Samantha going to be the distraction I need in order to snag Theresa from my ever so loving half brother.", Ethan replied.
"Nice, to see you're still as calculating as ever.", Rachel replied walking making her presents known.
"Rachel?",. Ethan asked turning to where she was, he hadn't seen her in years.
"Oh, My God!", Rachel exclaimed. "I'm so glad you aren't D-E-A-D."
"Me too, Rach.", Ethan replied.
"So, tell me Ethan why'd you come back, you could have gone anywhere you wanted, but you chose here., why?", Rachel asked. "And, don't give the this is my home, bull shit, because, this family's never been close."
"I came back, for Theresa.", he admitted.
"Theresa?", Ivy scoffed. "One of my son's has already been corrupted by that little hussy."
"Mother!". Ethan exclaimed. "Fox is corrupting her.", he argued.
"Yeah, sure Ethan, why don't you find someone nice, suitable…?", Ivy began.
"So one signal.", Rachel, butted in. "Or at least not married?"
"Rachel, butt out.", Ethan replied. "And, you mother do the same, it's my life."
"Ethan, please, let Theresa be.", Ivy pleaded. "All, I want for you is happiness and honey you can't get that with Terrorsita "
"Mother, would you please, quit calling her names?", Ethan asked.
"No, that what she is a little terror, to my son's playing them like fools.", Ivy replied. "Why don't you get involved with a nice girl, one who is quite, compassionate, loving, non-selfish, who will be a good home maker?"
"Someone, like that new maid, uh-what's her name…", Rachel began in deep thought.
"Samantha?", Ethan said simply.
"Yeah, that's her name, she seems really, nice and wow, she can clean to, she's got this mansion looking great.", Rachel raved.
"Yeah, she's something else.", Ethan replied.
"So, I take it you know her well?", Rachel asked.
"You could say that.", Ethan replied. "She's here for the same reason I am."
"To tear about Foxworth and Theresa?", Rachel concluded.
"Yeah.", Ethan admitted. "Maybe if Theresa wasn't around, there could be something between me and Samantha."
"Ethan, Theresa's married and I'm sure Fox would fight to the death if necessary to keep her as his wife.", Rachel replied, trying to con him into letting Theresa go.
"Well, not, for long he's going to be to busy with Sam.", Ethan replied, his eyes flash some sort of envious look as he said her name.
"You're smitten by this chamber maid aren't you?", Rachel accused, it was good to see her brother in love with someone other than he other brother's wife.
"Her, names Samantha.", he told her in an affinitive tone. "And, yeah, she's un like anybody I've ever know, so young, so beautiful, so put together, I'd like to know everything about her, all her troubles, what she likes and dislikes, he favorite color…"
"Then, why don't you?", Rachel asked.
"I can't I love Theresa.", he replied.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, Samantha, have you decided on how long, you're going to stay?", Fox asked as Samantha sat down on the couch beside him.
"Don't know, if anything doesn't come up, I'm probably here to stay.", Sam replied.
"Good.", Fox replied.
"I like this place, I didn't think I would but, I do. My jobs not, all that bad, once you get pass the whole working for Ms. Hotchkiss thing.", Sam replied. "And, you've, you've been great to me at first, you were really pushy, kind of annoyance."
"I'm sorry, for that it's just I'm very paranoid, and now that Ethan's back I'm 100 percent even more so.", Fox replied.
"What's the deal with you two?", Sam asked.
"Ethan and I?", he asked, watching as she nodded. "Well, we've fought since I was born."
"Sibling Rivalry?", she asked.
"No, he hates me and I hate him, well, it use to be sibling rivalry, but it all change when Theresa and I got together, he tried to with all his might to break us apart, he even had a hit man cut, my breaks.", Fox explained.
"Oh, My…", Sam began.
"Yeah, and well, I fear he'll do something more terrible this time.", Fox replied.
"He sounds, like a nut case.", Sam replied, she'd never heard about that before tonight, she knew he'd been in jail, but something that crucial, for trying to kill his own brother, one thing was for sure she wouldn't become too involved with Ethan, he just wasn't her type, a psycho attempted murder.
"Yeah, well, Theresa isn't as naïve as she use to be towards him, she saw just he was capable of when he tried to kill me.", Fox replied.
"Thank Goodness.", Sam replied.
"Yeah, so Samantha I told you a little bit my family, so now it's you're turn tell me something about you or your family.", Fox replied, he really didn't know to much about her, she was like a mystery a mystery he wanted to solve.
"Well, there isn't really too much to tell.":, Sam replied.
"Come on, you're life can't be all that boring.", Fox replied. "Is you're family more lie the Brady's, picket fence and all or the Osborne's, fool mouthed, tell you what's on there mind type?"
"I don't know.", Sam replied.
"Come on, don't be embarrassed.", Fox said, trying to persuade her into talking about herself. "I'm from one of the messed up families in the world."
"Ok, I guess I could tell you.", Sam replied. "Just, don't repeat this."
"Scout's honor.", Fox replied.
Sam looked at him with a small smile then began, "My father owned a boat like casino he and my mother, but she died when I was about 5, I don't have to many memories of her.", Sam began watching as Fox started at her curiously.
"How'd she die?", Fox asked.
"My father, killed her.", Sam replied quietly.
"Oh.", Fox replied. "I'm sorry."
"She was a prostitute.", Sam whispered.
"Oh.", Fox replied, watching as she got up and poured herself a glass of vodka.
"Thought, you didn't drink?", Fox asked.
"Only, when, I'm upset.", Sam told him, taking her seat back on the couch.
"Anything, else you want to know?", Sam asked.
"I only want to know what you want me to.", Fox told her.
"Well, my dad remarried, he married this woman named Jackie, she was also a prostitute, actually a dance, an exotic dancer, same thing right, exotic dancer, is just a term used just to legalize, selling your body.", Sam replied.
Fox looked at her intensely. "I never thought of it that way, but, yes."
"Well, my father, had, strip club entwined on the yacht, it was like a gambling casino and strip club. Jackie was the head dancer, she was very pretty, about 5'2 130, much younger than my father.", Sam replied, Fox eyes never leaving her as she spoke. "She was very mean and nasty towards, Frank and I, Frank's my brother he's two years older than me.", she explained. "She was like the wicked step mommy.", she continued. "She also, used, Frank, for sex once he got older, daddy knew, he just didn't care.", Sam gulped down the remaining contents her glass.
"Did, anyone, besides you're father, know?", Fox asked.
"No, she hid it, quit well.", Sam replied. "And, besides, Frank was in love with her."
"In love with her?", Fox questioned.
"Yeah, he never thought of her as a mother figured, just an older woman with a body who he slept with.", Sam explained.
"Oh.", Fox replied. "What about you, did she force you to do things?", he hated this woman, Jackie whoever she was, for what he'd done to Samantha and he hated Sam's father more than this Jackie, person, for allowing.
"Not, to her, but yeah, once I got 14, I became a regular at the club, dancing, stripping.", she corrected. "Selling, my mind, body and soul to the highest bidder."
"Didn't they know, it was illegal?", Fox asked.
"Yeah.", Sam replied. "But, you see my father was the police commissioner's brother.", Sam replied.
"Oh, My God!", Fox replied.
"Yeah, well the best part was the rookies, were a regular at the club and I preformed several lap dances for them.", Sam replied.
Fox closed his eyes, the pain that she must have endured, at the hands of all those people, sighing he asked, "Did you do any sexual favors for them?"
"Sex?", she asked, he merely nodded.
"I had to in order to survive.", Sam replied, tear streaming down her face, Fox reach over and rapped his arms around her watching as she cried shacking violently. "Shh, it's ok.", Fox whispered trying to calm her, "it's ok, it's over now, you're safe."

"Hello?", Dylan asked.
"Hey, babe.", Rachel replied.
"Rachel? What do you want?", Dylan asked.
"You, you in my bed all night long, making wild passionate love.", Rachel replied.
"I'm not interested.", Dylan replied.
"God, you're more pathetic than that virgin Mary of a sister mine.", Rachel replied.
"I love Kat.", Dylan stated.
"Oh, really?", Rachel asked. "Dylan, this is me you're talking to, not Fox not Theresa, not Julian, but me, we all know that you're starved for sex, how longs it been now?", Rachel asked.
"Rachel, I don't care about sex.", Dylan replied.
"I'm not stupid, all men need sex to survive, it goes along with the four senses, hearing, tasting, seeing, touching, smell, you want to feel a woman next to you, taste her kisses, see her body and hear her scream your name, smell her perfume, just like ever guy on the face of the Earth does.", Rachel replied confidently.
"You're a slut.", Dylan replied.
"So, quick to judge are we?", Rachel teased. "But, keep this in mind, handsome, you can have me whenever you want as were Kathelina you have to wait, beg, plead, and still might not touch her.", with that Rachel hung-up.
"Stupid, bitch!", Dylan exclaimed, how could he ever had dated her, one word Janet, he'd use Rachel to get to Janet. God, how he still loved that woman, Janet was the love of his life, but, she'd use him, she was a lot like Theresa, dark skinned, Latino, charismatic, a dreamer, but she was in love with that Hartford boy, James Hartford, he was a idiot, a drunk and a abuser, he was obsessive over Janet, he often wondered if that was why Janet went back to him, Lord knew if Janet was to come back to him he'd leave Kathelina in a heart beat, yeah, he loved Kathelina, she was very important to him, but Janet was his everything, not a day went by that he didn't think of her and what had happened and could have.
Sighing he got up and put on his coat he had to go out clear his mind.
