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 50 What, lamb! What ladybird! God forbid! Where's this girl?

Renee Swan walked out of her husband's office later that afternoon, smiling smugly at the news Charlie had just imparted to her. Charlie thought he called the shots around here, but truly it took a lot of manipulation to mask that it was her will that was dominant.

"Where is Bella?" she called out, expecting someone to be at her beck and call. "Mrs. Cope, where is my daughter hiding herself this time?"

Mrs. Cope, efficient housekeeper personified, was hovering, forever anticipating her employer's needs.

"Bella is in the library, ma'am. I'll go fetch her and send her right up."
