Across town, Fathom was with Giles at his playboy home for a mid-morning woohoo session. This had been an ongoing fling between the two of them for some time now. Even though Fathom had reached an understanding with her husband Seth for him to be more spontaneous and adventurous when it came to woohoo, Fathom still felt the need for risk and danger and thus continued with her not so secret affair with Giles, the star soccer player of her father’s football team. He happily went along with the woohoo sessions not only because he was extremely attracted to Fathom but also because it felt good knowing he was winding up his boss Seth by sleeping with his wife. What made it all the more hilarious for Giles was the recent discovery that he was the long lost son of Cyril Dolby and therefore cousin to Seth!! This recent revelation was a titillating shock to Fathom when Giles broke the news as they lay in his bed after their mid morning woohoo marathon.
Fathom sighed and snuggled up to her lover. She hated what she was doing to Seth but also had promised her father to make the marriage work. Seth was a good guy and had lately gotten more interesting to Fathom, but still not enough to stop seeing Giles.
As she kissed her lover, Fathom decided to throw in a bombshell of her own.
It was true and as you recall, Fathom had been at one time infatuated with Cyril Dolby. This was before her mother had returned and claimed Cyril for herself. And it was Cyril who had arranged a deal with Fathom for her to marry his nephew Seth in a devious deal where he would ensure Burke was acquitted during the murder trial of Fred Rimmard. This of course had backfired on Fathom, Burke had found out the truth and was furious with her. Cyril meanwhile had double-crossed her, ensuring the phoney evidence would point to Fathom as being the one who had bribed the jury, not he!
However, this was all unknown to Giles. He had only recently met Cyril and hardly knew the man and did not feel close to him at this stage although he wanted to get know him more. His mother Skankee had tried her best to warn him to stay away from Cyril but he was going against her wishes on this and it had driven a wedge between the once close mother and son. Bu the news that Fathom had once had a fling with Cyril, Giles found very amusing!
Thordon had become Fathom’s latest infatuation. She had felt an instant attraction to the dark haired mysterious lawyer she had met at her father’s office. There was a darkness, a danger to him that drew her near and she had had one date with him at his apartment that had been gate-crashed by Skankee who promptly had ordered her out after demanding to know if she and Thordon had been intimate!! They hadn’t thankfully because unknown to Fathom (and to Giles) was that Thordon was actually Badam Simmington, long lost oldest son of Burke and therefore Fathom’s brother!!
Giles still had a lot to learn about wild Fathom. His declaration of love could be the kiss of death for their relationship for she wanted to keep things between them purely physical.
Giles sensed he had put his foot in it. He no longer felt comfortable either. With the moment lost between them, both decided to wrap up their session and go about their day. For Giles, that involved more soccer training with Windenburg United, and for Fathom she decided on a further meeting with a certain dark haired stranger…
And within the hour Fathom had arranged to meet Thordon in a nearby park that was quite and popular with couples on a romantic stroll. Thordon, who had recently learned he was Badam Simmington, agreed to meet with Fathom as was curious to know if she had learned the truth or not from her father. He had recently told Burke the truth after discovering it from Skankee only to met with hostility and denial from Burke who promptly fired him. But after a few moments with Fathom it was evident to Thordon, aka Badam, that she knew nothing of his secret and was only interested in flirting with him.
There was an imposter in the Simmington household, an actor hired by Cyril Dolby to pose as the long lost Badam Simmington and everyone for the past few months had bought this idea. Fathom had never warmed to the man who claimed to be her brother Badam though she had no inkling of the truth of who he really was or that Cyril Dolby had been up to his old tricks against her father by planting the fake Badam in their household.
Badam took Fathom’s hand in his and smiled at her. A smitten Fathom smiled back, her heart racing as she walked hand in hand with the man she believed was called Thordon Gompson and totally unaware of who he really was.
Fathom decided there and then that things between her and Giles had probably reached their natural conclusion. It was time to set her sights on someone new and that man was Thordon!! So, being the impulsive vixen she was, Fathom grabbed Badam and pulled him close.
For his part, Badam was fascinated by Fathom. She was a complex Sim and he recognised a lot of his own qualities in her. But he would not take it any further with her and since he had learned his true heritage, any attraction he had previously harboured for her had evaporated. Fathom meanwhile was completely oblivious to any of this and was getting impatient as to why Thordon was not kissing her!
Badam gently unwrapped Fathom from around his neck but she remained close resting her head on his shoulder.
Badam pulled away from Fathom’s grip and faced her, his tone of voice changing quickly. It was time to tell her the truth as well as few home truths..
Being of a volatile nature, Fathom was simmering with rage at Thordon reading her for filth.
The news stunned Fathom and for a moment she did not know what to say but eventually some words fell from her trembling lips.
Badam did not want to hurt Fathom but he had to make her see that he was telling the truth.
Fathom exploded in rage and lashed out at Thordon.
An equally enraged Badam refused to back down. He would get accepted as his true self by any means possible.
But there and then, Fathom knew it to be true. Thordon was not lying and in WAS her brother Badam. She felt revolted with herself for feeling attracted to him in the first place and also furious that he knew the truth but allowed her to continuing flirting with him! It was too much to comprehend and she had to get away.
Fathom ran away as fast as her stiletto heels would allow but Badam was determined to have the last word. He had been shunned by one Simmington so far, he would not stand for another turning their back on him!!
