Forbidden Romance

Chapter 7

Gloria's eyes widened in terror as Noah ruthlessly kicked her bag, treating it like a football. The bumping sound echoed in the room as the bag collided with the wall. Its corners were fractured and it's broken in two parts. Gloria's clothes were shattered in the entire room. Her nostrils flared up. She went and grabbed that broken bag in her hand and approached Noah.

"You must be a great footballer but you are technically f*****g blind." She taunted him. "This thing you broke, it doesn't belong to you. Make sure not to touch my things." She clarified him, that too in a polite way considering he must be a mischievous motherless kid who had no manners. Noah grabbed her chin and tilted his head.

"I have already touched you, so why not your things." His eyes shifted to her lips. It reminded her of how he kissed her at the cafe. She pushed her hands away from her face.

Gloria did understand that implementing her plan was not going to be easy. She decided to tackle every problem with obstinacy.

Her stepbrother, Noah turned out to be a big obstacle. She collected her clothes one by one and held them with a broken bag on the other hand. She made sure that she got everything and began stepping out of the room, Noah was ready to bother her again.

"When you're that scumbag sister is gone, I thought I would stay in my house again but you f*****g kid." Noah's resentment was throbbing in his veins. No idea whether he was frustrated because Gloria turned out to be his step sis.

"Don't dare to call my sister scumbag again." She said, with red eyes.

"I will say that. I would repeat it until you leave this house. She was a dirty pig who used to eat s**t. What do you do?" He started annoying her even more. When he couldn't stop abusing her sis. Gloria didn't wait but slapped his face. Noah stunningly stared at her. Till now not even his father dared to raise a hand to him, but Gloria did.

"Don't you dare to abuse my deceased sister again?" She bent down picked her clothes from the floor and tapped out of his room holding them. Noah kept staring at her with an aggressive face. His fists were clenched. Gloria walked back to her room and arranged the clothes in the wardrobe.

This room was smaller than the previous one but at least two rooms away from his. She arranged the clothes in the wardrobe and undressed herself. The world is round and today she came to know about it.

Turning the shower on, she stood below it. The warm water relieved the tiredness she had been feeling since last evening. It dripped over her head and tried to calm her head.

As the water droplets passed her lips, they created a sensation around her lips. It was not a mere coincidence that the boy who swayed her heart and stole her kiss turned out to be her stepbrother. The mirror fogged up as steam filled the bathroom, mirroring the cloudiness in her thoughts.

"What if he tortured Rachel and she attempted suicide?" Gloria muttered herself. But that's not possible. She heard clearly what his aunt said, he was out of the house since his dad married for the second time. He must have come after the death of Rachel. And Rachel was not someone who would attempt suicide for getting bullied.

Gloria remembers once a boy hit her by his cycle when she was in high school. She silently went back to the school but her sister Rachel fought for her even though she was small.

After Gloria left, Noah closed the door. Started patting his hair with a towel, and went to dry it with a hairdryer. Suddenly, his gaze fell on the edge of the bed where Gloria's clothes were lying. He had kicked Gloria's travel bag so hard that her clothes had scattered all over the room. In a hurry, she collected all the clothes, but it seemed that one item was left behind.

Noah went there, picked up that garment, and realized that it wasn't just any clothing but Gloria's bra and underwear.

He picked those with his fingertips and stared at the pink-laced bra, perhaps 34B. beautiful laced underwear. He couldn't help but start to imagine her wearing that Bra and underwear.

She was four years older than him but so hot to arouse all the senses within him. When he kissed her, he never knew kissing her would be so exciting. Where the girl he kissed before was reckless, kissing her was a slow burn. He enjoys her lips more than anything else.

Noah took that Bra and underwear near his nose and sniffed hard. Her strong fragrance could make anyone crazy for her. He had experienced in the toilet that day when he kissed her.

When he opened the door of the toilet, he found her crying and that throbbed his heart. He couldn't control himself and kissed her. Just a while before he just forced himself on her onto his bed in excitement. And right now he was already turned on by her fragrance that lingered around that bra. He closed his eyes and dropped his towel down. His d**k was too straight. He was never obsessed with anyone else before. He sniffed that bra again and held his erect d**k in his hands and began stroking it hard. His imagination turned wild.

“Ahh…” He squeezed that bra in his hand and moaned. He sniffed her underwear which still had the essence of her sensitive parts. “Gloria..” He breathed heavily. His hands moved faster over his d**k. His face began grimacing, a stream of his semen blew out of his erect d**k and he breathed heavily. He never thought that he would use her innerwear for his m**********n.

Gloria opened her half-closed eyes and stared out of the window. The sun was already set and she was confused whether it was evening or dawn. After checking the clock she realised that she had slept after a warm bath. It was good because whatever stuff she wanted to do, she could do it in the night.

"So, how was your day?" Her stepfather asked her, she stared at Noah. It was already bad because of him, she could tell it was worse. Her new travel bag broke, her well-iron clothes turned messy and a pair of lingerie went missing. Her stepbrother was still showing colder eyes towards her as if he would eat her alive.

"It was good." She said, her eyes rolled around the rooms. She was searching for Rachel's room. She knew it must be on the ground floor as she peeked into the rooms from the upper floor.

"But I don't think it will be enough good tomorrow." Noah taunted her while chewing his food.

"She is your elder sister, make sure not to trouble her." Her stepfather Oliver warned Noah. When Noah heard him calling Gloria his sister, he became even more panicked.

"She is not my sister, she would never be my sister. Understood?" He asked his father, smashing the spoon on the table. "I don't make fake relations like you." He muttered. Looked like he was quite upset with his father.

"I have talked to the principal, you will be admitted to one of the best education colleges." Her stepfather, Mr. Oliver said with a polite smile. But then Noah interrupted.

"Our schools would not admit scumbag." He said and Gloria stared at him with tapered eyes. She shook her head.

"I have already seen better colleges here. I also took written exams for two of them and ranked well. I will finish my masters from there." Gloria said and Noah's expression turned puzzled. He thought she would beg him to help her or insist on getting admitted there. But Gloria was enough smart that she scored quite well for admission. It was the same school where Rachel was studying before so that she could talk with her friends and her teachers.

"Whatever your mom told me about you was right. You are an intelligent kid. I like that." Oliver praised her and smiled at him. Noah noticed her smiling at his father like that. He just smashed the fork on the plate and started leaving the dining table. Gloria wondered what happened to Noah because there was nothing to piss about him.

She continued having food then suddenly her eyes roamed around the finger of her stepfather holding a spoon. He had a blue topaz on the ring finger of his right hand. She was stunned because it was the same ring she found in her sister's photo in which Rachel was holding the hand of a man.

"No, this is not true." She shook her head. There is not a single blue topaz ring in the world, she guessed. Even if Oliver wearing the same ring, it's not clear with what aspect Rachel clicked that picture. What if it turned out a fatherly love? She could see that Oliver was so polite with her and even considered her as his daughter. But she never mentioned Oliver. Her head was fogged with a question.

"Mom, can I shift to Rachel's room? I think I will feel her being around me." Gloria said looking around.

"I moved her stuff to the store room," Mom told Gloria, her eyes widened. It was just a week since her sister passed, and mom moved her stuff to the store room.

"She had quite fancy things for herself. I kept it in the storeroom for donations. She will rest in peace." Mom stated. Gloria understood that she needed to look into those stuff before they go for donations.

As her mom and Oliver left for sleep, she headed in search of the store room. one by one all floors on the ground floor she peeked into.

"Why this house is so big? I cannot even find a store room." She muttered, then her eyes went to a room in a corner that had an unpainted door. Its door was smaller than other rooms.

She approached it and opened it.

It was dark from inside, so dark that it was difficult for her to see anything. She tried to find the switchboard but realised its switch was broken. She turned off the flashlights of her mobile phone and started flashing it inside the store room. It smelled so damp and rusty.

The spider wall and the scary shadow of a spider that appeared too big on the wall made that place look a little haunting. Rachel's teddy bear and some other stuff were hanging in one corner. Gloria started searching in the wooden drawer and found some key Chains and old clothes that belonged to Rachel. She knew her sister was fond of collecting key chains. She picked up everything and put it in her pocket.

Her slambook and photo diary. Everything she was finding one by one she pushed inside her shrug. Gloria's hands trembled as she opened the last drawer, revealing an inverted photo frame. Written in marker behind it were the words, "This is my Darling dearest." Her heart raced, suspecting that this might be the photo of the person Rachel deeply loved.
