Chapter 5

"Jack, what is the meaning of this?" she asked.

"Well can't you read the title? Never knew omegas were this stupid," He said quietly in the end, but Brianna could still hear him.

"Yes, I've read that, but what do you mean by 'how to be a good maid to the Burkley family?' she asked, pointing to the title on the cover.

"Of course the goal is to teach you to be a good maid here." Jack replied coldly and began to emit a domineering Alpha aura, which was completely different from the friendly aura he had just given off. 

This aura really reminded her of her parents and her rapist.

"Listen, Brianna Jones," he said quietly, but in a threatening tone.

"I've been kind enough to let you stay here. Do you think I would allow a lowly Omega into my house without giving anything in return?" Jack asked with a crooked smile.

Brianna's breath stopped after hearing him.

The Omega couldn't believe that Jack was such a person.

And also, how did he know that Brianna was an Omega? The only people who knew that she was an Omega were her parents and Celicia.

Did Celicia tell him?

"Okay, that's all I have to say. And since I'm in a good mood, I'll let you rest for today. You can start work tomorrow; oh, and one more thing. Beginning tomorrow, you will sleep in the basement; this room is too nice for a cheap Omega like you."

After that, the bedroom door was closed, and Brianna immediately buried her face in the bed. She didn't know what to do... To be honest, Jack's words really hurt her, but she realized she had nowhere else to go.

With a heavy sigh, she decided to accept the situation.

After all, this was the best choice for now; she didn't want to trouble anyone.

Plus, she should be happy if Jack asks her to be his maid; she doesn’t need to feel indebted to him afterward.

"It's okay, my child; we will survive. We will stay here until I'm strong enough to support both of us." the Omega said while stroking her stomach gently

.

Jack's behavior was really bad toward Brianna.

After waking up the Omega by pouring cold water on her, he ordered her to do a lot of housework, starting with cleaning all corners of the house, which is as big as a mansion, sweeping the front yard of the house, and... still much more. 

And now here she is, in the kitchen, trying to cook, although Brianna has had zero experience with it.

"Ugh… Did I cook this soup right? Why does it taste this way... and why is it so green?" the Omega thought, confused, as she went back to reading the recipe on G****e.

"Hey, are you done yet?! It's already 8.30; usually I would have eaten by 8 o'clock!" Jack shouted, making Brianna panic even more.

"Aish... whatever, I better serve it first," the Omega thought as she started spooning the soup into a bowl and carrying it to the dining room.

.

Jack had been in the dining room since the Omega was cooking.

To be honest, it was the first time he had breakfast at his house. Usually, the Alpha only eats at his cafe.

But somehow he really wanted to ask the Omega to cook breakfast for him.

"Tsk, how come it's taking so long to cook? She's been thrashing around in the kitchen for an hour. Why isn't she finished yet?" Jack thought as he debated himself whether to shout at the Omega again or not.

Not long after, Brianna came in front of him carrying a bowl of food that looked like... soup?

"Here's the soup; sorry to make you wait so long," said the Omega while placing the soup in front of him.

“Hm, it doesn't look that bad... to be honest, it kind of makes me hungry; maybe I should consider hiring her to work at my cafe," thought Jack as he spooned the soup into his mouth.

The Alpha widened his eyes after tasting the soup and started coughing, causing the Omega in front of him to panic and quickly fetch him some water, which he automatically drank.

"Are you okay?" Brianna worked up the courage to ask, but Jack said nothing.

When the Omega was about to ask again, Jack suddenly stood up from his chair and walked towards her.

"What did you put in my food? Are you planning to poison me?" he snapped, gripping her jaw tightly, causing the Omega to look up.

"I—I didn't put any poison in it, I just-AKH!" Brianna's words stopped when Jack suddenly pushed her violently against the wall and started choking her, making it hard for her to breathe.

"I-I'm sorry! This is my first time cooking, and I've been trying to learn the recipe through the internet... I've even tasted the soup, and it's the best taste I can make." she explained with difficulty, her neck hurts so much!

After hearing her words, Jack removed his hands from Brianna's neck, causing the Omega to immediately slump down and cough madly.

The Omega thought her torment was over when Jack left her, but it turned out he came back and was holding her soup.

"Best taste, hm? Well, I can show you what good tastes are like," he said, taking a swing to throw the soup at her.

As he was about to throw the soup, his cell phone suddenly rang, making Jack click his tongue.

"Tsk, you got lucky this time, but next time don't you dare repeat your mistake!" said Jack as he dropped the soup right beside Brianna, causing it to splash all over her body..

"Don't forget to clean up this trash; I don't want my clean house to get dirty because of the trash you made!"

After that, Jack stepped out, leaving her alone.

Brianna started sobbing when Jack was already out of sight.

She knew that her food didn't taste that good, but does he have to act like a jerk towards her? The Omega began to doubt her choice.

Did she make the wrong decision by accepting the Alpha's offer to stay with him? Should she call Celicia to pick her up?

But the thing is, she doesn't want to bother her cousin; that's the main reason why Brianna accepted his offer.

The Omega sat for a long time before finally standing up and starting to clean up the mess in the dining room.
