Pleasuring the Maid

What! My parents both asked at the same time, looking at the three of us. That is until Ava held out the hyper realistic mask and the photo.

I swear mum gasped, her face turning pale as if she had seen a ghost. Dad hang his head in shame running his hands on his hair repeatedly.

They both looked at Ava with pleading faces. As if feeling their eyes on her...she looked up at my mum for the first time since she stepped feet in the hotel room.

'Is it true? ' Ava questioned, throwing the two items at my mother.

My mum blundered uncertainly with her words, eyes shifting in all directions. I had never seen my mum shot of words, she always had words to say no matter what.

'It's time Ren, they deserve to know the truth. ' Dad squeezed he shoulders.

'Okay, follow me. ' She shamefully muttered.

'No, I want the answers here and now. ' Ava maintained her stand.

'Please Ava, you said you wanted answers. Come with us. ' Mum begged.

She stood, taking my hand and Bryson's. ' please don't leave me. ' I was happy that she finally acknowledged us. She wanted to be with us through this, no way we would let her deal with it alone.

We piled into my parents SUV and in no time we were parked at the Nairobi Women's hospital.

'What exactly are we doing here? ' I questioned.

Were the answers in this hospital, this made no sense. I was filled with uncertainty and doubts.

'You'll see. ' That's all dad said making his way to the entrance.

Once we rode the elevator, we stood in front  a metallic door and judging by Ava's reaction, this is where she had been.

Mum didn't give us time to think before she pushed the door open. In one single glance, there on a hospital bed, lay woman who was very much awake.

She looked so much like Ava, even when her face appeared to be bruised, the similarity was just too much, only that she was older.
