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 74. The game was ne'er so fair, and I am done.

As Bella dressed for the evening, she was grateful that Renee's outfit was elaborate, because it would occupy her until it was too late to make a fuss about Bella's costume substitution. The dress Renee organized was for a Venetian courtesan, which she supposed was apt since her parents were giving her to Mike Newton. Bella never intended wearing the low-cut dress.

Mrs. Cope had made her a Juliet costume earlier in the year when she'd taken the lead in the school play. The dress was of cream satin with a modest sweetheart neckline, sheer sleeves and a quilted bodice.
