Just A King Inside His Castle

by LivingTheBeatOfSummer

Edmund hated Lottie, who had invaded his life and ruined everything. Lottie loathed Edmund, who kept tormenting her with his cruel words and vicious ways. So why, then - despite everything they say and do to each other - do their hearts beat faster when together? They do say that the strongest passion is born from hate...

1. Chapter 1

Hey everybody! So this is my new story, based off I'm the King of the castle by Susan Hill. I'm not a fan of the original, but we have to study it for our English GCSE. This was my way of making it more interesting. The title is from the song 'Oh, Calamity!' by All Time Low. Anyway, enjoy!

Chapter 1

'I'm engaged.'

Two words. Two words, and her life changed.

'What?' Lottie yelled at her mother. 'I didn't even know you were seeing anybody!'

'I met him in the city,' Mrs Kingshaw said. 'He's a banker. His name is Joseph Hooper.'

Lottie sat there, stunned.

'We will be moving to his house in the country on Monday.'

'But I haven't even met this man!'

'Quiet Charlotte! I would appreciate it if could show a little respect.'

Lottie sighed, folding her arms.

'He has a son, one year older than you. Be thankful for this Charlotte, this is just what we need.'

And with that, Lottie's life changed.

I know this one's short, but the next will be longer, I promise. x
