More Than Just Sisters ✔︎ [GL]

31 || PAST OF VIRAHI: 2

VIRAHI'S POV:

I was so carried away of the thought that I couldn't hear that Mrs. Warner was calling for me.

"Earth to Virahi!" She almost screamed near my ear. I flinched and only I could say was, "H-huh...?!"

She sighed as she shook her head.

"I was calling you for some moments and you seemed so lost.."

"S-Sorry..Mrs. Warner...I was just- thinking..." I said while looking down remembering what I was thinking. It made me sad.

"Mhm...I understand. I won't even bother you but damn...we are stuck in this jam for whole 7 mins.." She said while smacking the steering.

I looked around and now it it hit me that we seriously were in a tight jam. I looked in my phone and it was 12:00 pm. We started off at 11:00 am. I exhaled and looked outside. What is Siera doing right now?

"Virahi..."

I heard Mrs. Warner called for me softly. I looked at her. "Mhm..?"

"Well...I...I do feel bad for you...you are only 19 and-"

"Don't worry Mrs. Warner, my life has been fucked up since the day I lost my parents.." I said and conveyed a bitter yet kind smile at her and looked outside again. I heard her sighing.

"You remember the day you are assigned for this work..." She mumbled.

"I damn well wish I could forget.." I whispered to myself.

||FLASHBACK||

//THIRD PERSON'S POV//

"you called me...mom?" Virahi asked while peeping through door of her parents bedroom.

Mrs. Warner aka Dorothy Jones looked up from her laptop and gestured her to come in. Virahi came in and sat on the edge of the bed.

"What is it?" Virahi asked casually.

"Well lock the door. I need to talk to you quite privately. It's confidential." She said in serious tone.

She did as she asked and again sat.

"You know that I'm just your step mom? Well not even step...I just took care of you.." She said.

"Uh...yes, but you told me to call you mom since I was a child.." Vira said.

"Mhm..,yes. But today I'm going to tell something very important and big. And even in your worst nightmare, do not reveal it to anybody."

"Not even-"

"Anybody means anybody."

Virahi nodded slowly.

"Well...from now on, except infrong of your dad and Siera call me Mrs. Warner."

Virahi nodded.

"And well...since your parents are no more in this world, you know a mafia crew found you, right?"

Virahi nodded.

"And they told me to take care of you and marry again."

She nodded.

"So...this marriage is not just for neither your nor mine welfare and happiness. This marriage has a reason and without any further ado, I'm about to reveal it to you. I repeat, do not reveal it to anybody...inside or outside. Or else you will be doomed."

"Yes...understood.." She said.

"Okay...so..well, I would just let you know the work without explaining everything to you cause you are too young to know. It's just, I am sent here to spy on Siera's father and give every information to Mr. Miller. Don't ask me why, I'll let you know when you will be older enough. So, I'm here requesting you to not get attached to everything. I know that you are living here since baby and you got a nice father and sister....but for our sake, I'm asking you. As you are only 14, I won't tell you the consequences. It might affect your mental health. But just work as you are told to. This is a mission and we will complete it in some few years. That's why I'm letting you know this."

It's took some minutes for Virahi to take in the information. She thought a mission? What kind of? What's happening?

Still she manage to say, "Y-yes..okay mo-"

"Mrs. Warner."

Virahi looked at her and something in her chest banged her. Since she lost her parents this woman was the only one she knew as her 'mom'. Why is she getting so harsh now?

Virahi's eyes glistened lightly.

Mrs. Warner got up from her chair and hugged her.

"I'm sorry, my girl. I know it's so sudden for you....and...it also hurts me more to say you to call me Mrs. Warner...rather than mom." She whispered those last words.

"W-Why do I have to do this? Why mom?" Virahi asked looking up at her while hugging.

She smiled and said, "I don't know...I am just doing what I am told to. The only thing I know is....my life depends on it. Yours also."

She wiped off the visible tears in Virahi's eyes and planted a kiss on her forehead.

"Okay...that's all..you can go now.."

||FLASHBACK ENDS||

"Virahi, we arrived...get down.."

Virahi flinched and looked around. Finally, she gotta see this mansion after a decade. She took a long breath and unlocked the door.

She got down as well as Mrs. Warner and stood infront of the mansion. It was...huge, of course.

The front door clicked and Virahi looked forward.

It was opened revealing a tall, bulked figure man, in all black...suit, tie, shirt. Virahi's breath hitched feeling his already intimidating aura as she noticed the crooked smirk hanging off his lips while he eyed both.

He got down those front steps while spreading his arms and said loudly,

"Welcome! Welcome home...my dear Mrs. Warner and Ms. Virahi Jones...Welcome to your sweet home.."

And he laughed.

Virahi's blood ran cold as her insights already visioned her life that was waiting for her in near future.
