CHAPTER ONE

Tall gates, a wide garden, and a huge front door. Seems like this new place I'll be staying at is definitely big time. Perhaps that's enough to compensate for the horrible day I've been having so far.

My stepfather told me to move here since he's going to be working abroad for a while. He says it's much better here than me staying alone at our house. I didn't like the idea since I'm not comfortable with the thought of living with strangers. I told him I could rent an apartment, I even said that I'd work part-time to pay for it but he had his mind set on letting me stay here. He even went as far as to transfer me into a different school.

It's obvious that he doesn't like me very much, anyone can tell that even the driver of the taxi sent me to this place. I can't believe even he was able to witness the mess that happened earlier.

"You're staying here and don't you dare leave this place!"

"Or else what? You'll disown me? I don't care, why are you forcing me in here anyway?!"

My stepfather took my bag before throwing it against the gates. He then harshly grabbed me by my wrists before dragging me out of the cab. I ended up scraping my knee against the ground when he shoved me away.

"Don't come back or else I'll personally drag you back in here. You will follow my orders, that's final." he spat.

I took a deep breath before knocking against the door, at least the place looks nice. Although I can't shake off this feeling of uneasiness as I approached the porch. It didn't take long for someone to open the door.

"Who are you?"

I saw a guy with average height, he had dark brown hair and brown eyes. "Oh, you must be..."

I cleared my throat as I fixed my jacket. "I'm Paige, Paige Dee." I said. I hope my smile didn't come out too forced.

Recognition was immediately shown in his eyes. "You're the new girl," he nodded as he took my luggage bag. "I'll bring these to your room, you should introduce yourselves to my brothers for now," he said before he left.

I wonder how they reacted when they found out that a stranger is coming to live with them? Were they as against this as I am? He must be on really good terms with his boss for him to allow me to stay here. I looked in awe as I walked around the house. It had a vintage look yet it still looked classy and elegant. I stopped in the middle of the hall when I came across a huge family portrait.

"Wow," I gasped. In the middle of the portrait were two people whom I assume to be the parents. Surrounding them were eleven guys. I couldn't help but stare at it since all of the family members were good-looking.

I don't think I'm going to fit in with them.

"What are you doing?" I flinched when I heard a deep voice. I turned around and I saw two guys, one of them was really tall.

"I'm Paige, nice to meet you. I'll be staying here from now on." I nervously said as I greeted them.

"Oh hello," one of them smiled. "My name is Chanyeol and this is Baekhyun." he introduced. I nodded to acknowledge him.

"Suho says that we should bring you to the family hall. We have to introduce you to the rest as well" Baekhyun said. I nodded then I followed them.

By the time I reached the family hall, I saw four other guys there. The guy that welcomed me at the door included. "Have a seat," Chanyeol told me, so I did. I couldn't help but feel anxious as I was sitting down. They were all looking at me intently.
