Beautiful Tyrant

**..**..**..**..**

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 26. Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air.

Carlisle loved his sons equally but he had an especially soft spot for Edward who reminded him so much of his darling wife, Esme. Like Esme, Edward was artistic and soft-hearted. He had a great future assured him in that arena, and truth to tell, he was probably harder on Edward because of it. Maybe he was getting softer in his middle age, but he didn't want Edward's inner light to be lost in the harshness of the business he had inherited like his father before him.

Emmett and Jasper though were more like him and thrived on the thrill.
