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 238. Wash they his wounds with tears, mine shall be spent.

Bella's back was to the television as she thought of what to say to her beloved, but Mrs. Cope nudged her shoulder to watch the latest news bulletin, and it was then she learned of the foul depths her cousin had sunk to.

Snippets of video captured on phones, and an accompanying police statement, shoved the awful truth down her throat—her cousin had assaulted Edward, his sister, his brother and murdered one Cullen man but more than likely two.

How could she ever be accepted as Edward's wife by his family, or by him, after what James had done?

End Note:

No wonder the bard called Romeo and Juliet star cross'd lovers...
