Chapter 7

WEEK LATER

It has been up to a week and yet Nadine hasn't seen the stranger that kept her in his residence and was nowhere to be found they've been locked up and they can't even step out of their room to talk more trying to escape as everywhere was heavily guarded.

At that moment she realized she didn't even know the stranger's name and yet she stayed in his mansion for a week. Nadine thought since he claimed he wasn't his father's enemy, she thought he could be a passerby who decided to help her on that fateful day she was about to be killed, she has thought a lot about it.

“Are you ready, Miss?” Basil's voice jolted her of her long tiring thoughts before she waved everything aside and decided to focus more on what she was about to do.

“Yes, let's go,” Nadine mumbled as she stood up almost immediately and made her way out of the room while Basil followed close behind.

It was so stressful for them as they didn't have any freedom of movement in the stranger's mansion as the guards would always follow them at every given opportunity they had.

Nadine has been stylishly studying the whereabouts of the mansion by always claiming to go to the gym every morning. Luckily the gym was located in the mansion and she had heard it from the maid which was how she could know about it.

“Where are you going, Miss?”

“Am afraid you can't go out today,” One of the guards in front of her room said coldly the moment they opened the door.

But of course, Nadine wasn't going to back down until she had learned everything about the mansion and how their guards work during day and night time.

In the next few days, she should be able to round up the details about the mansion and escape if luck could permit her as she knew it would be easy.

“How dare you stop My Miss? when you know her morning routine?” Basil spoke up the moment she received a signal from Nadine and yet she was able to carry out the role she was told to play by Nadine.

Nadine is a theater art student who has always strived to go into the entertainment industry. She had to plead with her parents to allow her the moment she clocked twenty but it wasn't an easy task for her as her parents weren't going to allow her.

Who knows she might decide to pursue her acting career.

She didn't hesitate to teach her maid some few acting tricks which she had been working on every morning.

“Let her go, she often goes to the gym every morning. It's an everyday routine to her,” One of the guards whispered to the other, which Nadine guessed must have been different from those who had been guarding her room for the past few days.

Nadine maintained her straight swaged expression the moment they allowed her to step out of the room with Basil, she couldn't help but feel proud of her acting skills.

“Miss, ain't you worried I'm going to outshine you in the acting industry?” Basil asked teasingly, she didn't hesitate to tease Nadine as she was aware of how much she loved acting. After all, she has always been with her right from childhood, and watched her grow even though she was nothing but a mere omega.

“How can you outshine your master? I taught you basil, but you can try, “Am ain't an easy target, you should know that.” Nadine said without backing down, of course, she had only thought of a few acting tricks which she had always used on her parents and had to use on the guard.

“Alright…. Alright…. I admit defeat, I can't come close to you in terms of acting… And besides I don't want that as I feel like I don't have passion for it, rather I have passion for modeling but too bad I have long forgotten about it,” She mumbled as her voice went down a little bit Nadine felt something was wrong.

Basil has always been beside her right from childhood, her father had intentionally found someone within her age range just to be with her so as not to feel bored or tired as her parents always have one or two things to do that they could barely spend twenty-four hours with her. With Basil during those times, she has become less worried as she has a companion who has always been with her and stood by her side.

Nadine thought she could have at least left her when she had the chance but yet she didn't and still followed her everywhere she went. She realized their relationship had gone beyond a maid and her master.

“Why didn't you mention you have passion for something?” Nadine asked, the moment they got out of the mansion, she stopped on her track and faced her not without holding her hand while staring into her face.

“Because I'm just your maid, Miss. No matter how you treat me well, I shouldn't forget my origin,” She muttered.

“Do you think I treat you well because you're just my maid, Basil?” Nadine asked as she tried to find the answer by studying her expression.

“Am just a lowlife omega whose father took pity on me to be with you after I lost my parents. I shouldn't ask for much as I am satisfied with being around you, Miss,” She calmly said with a reassuring smile as she fought back the tears welling down her cheeks.

She was blessed to meet a kind soul like Nadine, she couldn't have imagined how it would have been hard if she hadn't been by her side all this while. Being by her side, she was able to eat good food and have a thorough bath with good clothes as that alone makes her feel satisfied as she wouldn't ask for more.

Basil knew not every master would care about their maids but her Miss has always been an exception to her. She would be a big fool not to acknowledge her kindness.

“Listen to me, basil, because I'll only say this once, okay. For a long time, have always seen you as my family and not as a maid,”

“Even though we were never related by blood, family doesn't allow us to be related by blood alone. From today henceforth, we'll always be together through rough days and good days and shall never be apart, okay?” Nadine said while staring at her face.

She could see the shock on her face, clearly not expecting that.

“Are you for real, Miss?” Basil asked with an unbelievable expression. She never thought a day would come. She will have someone to call family and that person happens to be her beloved person.

“Yes, and you can go after your passion as I'll go after mine the moment we're able to escape the stranger's den, isn't that better?” Nadine asked, she could see how speechless Basil was as it was unexpected.

“What? Miss?!” Basil screamed out before she could stop herself and ended up pulling Nadine into a tight hug but the moment she realized her actions, she immediately retreated and apologized.

Just a few actions from Basil warranted some strange gaze from the maids that were on duty as they passed by, they didn't hesitate to mock or whisper some words to themselves but Nadincarees less about things like that.

“You don't have to apologize just because you hugged me, Basil. We're one family, okay,”

Nadine has made up her mind to chase her career while she plots her revenge against the person who killed and ruined her pack. She needed money and power to dominate and to be able to successfully carry out her revenge as she knew the person wasn't an easy target.

“Besides, now that we've become a family, don't you think you should change the way you address me?” Nadine asked.

“What do you mean, miss? How do you want to be addressed? How should I address you?” Basil eagerly asked, asking thousands of questions at a time.

“My name, don't you think so?” Nadine said leaving her in shock as she walked away from Basil in front but when she realized Basil stood still without any attempt to leave she didn't hesitate to stop and have a look at the shocked-looking basil
“Ain't you going to the gym anymore, Basil?” Nadine called out walking the lady in front of her from her long thoughts.

At that moment, from the little distance between them, Nadine couldn't help but think she had that modeling figure every aspiring model would yawn for.

Tall, her posture poised and confident, her body epitome of elegance and grace. Her limbs were long and slender, her arms toned and sculpted, her legs tapered to a feminine curve. Her skin was smooth and flawless. Her waist was impossibly tiny, her hips just wide enough to create an alluring hourglass silhouette. Her breasts, while small, were perfectly proportioned to her body, adding a delicate touch of femininity.

“She has everything to be a model, why am I just realizing it now?” Nadine thought as she watched the native basil happily rush to meet her with happiness clouded on her face.
