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 166. The pox of such antic, lisping, affecting fantasticoes.

Bella snuck downstairs and into Mrs. Cope's room, where the lady hugged her tightly as she cried her heart out. She sobbed that she now had no choice but to marry Mike; the wedding was set for the following Saturday.

Mrs. Cope was able to decipher, through the frantic sobs, that Bella was in love with Edward Cullen, and couldn't bear to be married off to Mike. She clucked over the girl she thought of as her daughter sympathetically, knowing well what it was like to be married to one man while in love with another.

She would help her.

End Note: Okay, we're all in agreement - after the way Renee treats Bella so badly she deserves to go down. Thank you to all who offered to hire hitmen, they might come in handy very very soon.
