A/N:

In this story the character names belong to Stephenie Meyer but the inspiration and chapter titles come from William Shakespeare's epic tale, Romeo & Juliet.

Chapter 3. Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

Charles Swan sat at his desk, his fingers steepled as he often did when thinking deeply, as he considered the proposal by Terrence Newton, a business associate.

He thought Bella too young for the proposal placed before him, but the offer made sense in more ways than one. He felt troubled by the outcome of today's actions. Worried that this was the start of more troubled times, and he wasn't equipped. As well as that, he was plagued by a willful daughter. Newton's proposal may kill two birds with one stone, and he needed Newton's support; he needed it now.
