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 56. The very theme I came to talk of.

"I've been training you, Isabella, your entire life. Now is the time that your hard work will pay off."

Bella's heart plummeted at her mother's words. Was she going to have to head up some charity fundraiser that Renee had got it in her head to support? Or was it to attend one of those silly coming-out do's that Renee's stuffy friend's daughters deemed all the rage? Either seemed like a death sentence to her. Despite Renee's best efforts, she was uncomfortable in the spotlight, and despite hours of deportment training still liable to trip over a breath of air.

Next Update: Week 9 starts Saturday 17th September

Due to popular demand I've started writing a companion drabble fic to this story featuring the developing relationship between Garrett and Jasper called Splendour Mine. It's a slash story so it's not appropriate to go into a lot of detail in this fic, which is after all about Edward and Bella. Not reading it will not detract from this story at all.

The first chapter of Splendour Mine will be posted shortly after this chapter is uploaded and corresponds roughly with Chapter 11 of Beautiful Tyrant where Garrett walks into the bar to break up the fight between the Cullens and Swans. The first 13 chapters have gone back a little in time to beef out the story so far. Chapter 14 of that story will then link in with Chapter 70 of this story and continue in tandem from there. Phew hope that all made sense.
