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 40 This night I hold an old accustom'd feast.

As luck would have it, Charlie and his family had tickets to attend a charity ball later in the week. He extended an invitation for Mike to attend with them along with James, Peter and Laurent.

"It is your chance to impress Bella at the fancy dress ball. As my guest you will have ample time to talk and to woo, and most of all to impress my daughter."

Mike took the spare invitation, which Charlie fished out of his drawer and handed to him, with confidence. He was sure that with concentrated proximity Bella would fall under his charm.
