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.

As you can see by the chapter title, we have reached the point in the story that inspired the name for this little drabble. Bella has just seen the man she loves kill the man she considers her closest family…. Don't forget that while we have seen the true story unfold from all perspectives, Bella has lived a sheltered life and only seen the side of James that he wanted her to see…

I'm diverting slightly from the normal format for this chapter. There will still be a 100 word drabble, but I have also included Juliet's dialogue from when she finds out that Romeo has killed Tybalt from the original play. Shakespeare sure does have a way with words!

Juliet:

O serpent heart, hid with a flowering face!

Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave?

Beautiful tyrant! fiend angelical!

Dove-feather'd raven! wolvish-ravening lamb!

Despised substance of divinest show!

Just opposite to what thou justly seem'st,

A damned saint, an honourable villain!

O nature, what hadst thou to do in hell,

When thou didst bower the spirit of a fiend

In moral paradise of such sweet flesh?

Was ever book containing such vile matter

So fairly bound? O that deceit should dwell

In such a gorgeous palace!

Chapter 231. Beautiful tyrant! Fiend angelical!

Bella couldn't believe that the Edward she knew would do such a thing, but the evidence was right before her eyes. Had he been pursuing her all this time to hurt her family? No! She couldn't believe that. He was sweet and gentle and he loved her, she was sure of it.

But why the haste to get married? Was it a strike at her family?

Look at the gullible Swan girl thinking Edward Cullen loved her.

Bella thought back to the afternoon, remembering the adoration on his face when he'd married her, declaring to love her for all eternity.
