***Ava's Pov***

Renata and her husband Reynard had arrived moments earlier looking as good as always. I had yet to know exactly what type of business they conducted. All I knew is that they made a lot of money from it.

We were currently on the dining room when Renata received a phone call. We all watched with concern as she conversed with whoever was on the calling end. Her face changed instantly, her eyes began to water just as her husband took the phone from her.

When he had talked to the other person too, his mood had darkened. I knew that something was very wrong.

'We have to leave now. ' Renata whispered in a broken voice.

'I know honey. ' Reynard answered, taking her right hand into his, offering her some kind of comfort.

After silently witnessing the exchange between his parents, Bryson finally spoke.

"But you just got back mum". Bryson complained.

"Yes honey, but we have to go, this is urgent. Trust me when I tell you that we really have to go. We'll be back as soon as we can." Bry's mum tried explaining to him, with her husband besides her, nodding as she talked.

I couldn't help but feel bad for the boys. Even though they didn't show it, I knew they wished they could spend more time with their parents.

"It's okay mum, dad you can go. We understand." This time it was Ray who talked, equally saddened by his parents departure.

"Okay boys, we'll get someone to drive us to the airport. You go rest up." Mr Romans was eager to get out. Whatever that call was all about it didn't seem like it was any good.

Looking at Mrs Romans now I noticed how pale she was getting, she was very uncomfortable and her eyes were becoming glossier by the minute.

That call must have been about something real bad I thought.

"Ava sweetie, can I have a word with you outside please?"

"Yes Madam"

"None of that Ava, you know that I see you as one of my children right? ' She questioned hopefully.

'In fact you are just like the daughter I never had." She added.

She tugged me by my hand to the front porch. "Ava, I've told you countless times to call me mum. It's a lot to ask, but I want you to, please. Please honey, can you do that?"
