Knight's P.O.V~
"Are you guys heading back here soon?"  Josh questioned, as I talked to him on the phone wirelessly through my sunglasses.  "We need to get going if you wanted to start on those construction plans in a week."  He reminded me.  I opened the trunk to the car and placed my suitcase and my case with my laptop inside.

"I know, but I wanted to let her sleep a little bit more.  Yesterday was long for both of us and this isn't much of a honeymoon."  I replied to my friend, slamming the trunk closed.

"I understand, Victor, but you'll be together for the rest of your lives.  Once we get back and start the plans for the house, there will be plenty of room for you to spend time with her."  He teased.  I smiled at the thought of that and locked the car before heading back up to our room to grab her stuff.  I pressed the button for the elevator.

"You're right.  Last night was nice, Josh.  Really nice.  I'm going to tell her today.  That I love her."  I told him as I stepped into the elevator.

"I'm happy for you, Man.  You should.  Otherwise, she'll be questioning this decision her whole life."  He said.  The elevator opened and I took a deep breath before stepping out into the hallway.

"I'm almost back to the room so I'm hanging up.  We'll see you in an hour."  I hung up and took my sunglasses off as I used my thumb to open the door to the room.  I walked in and walked into the bedroom, expecting to see her awake, but instead.  She was nowhere to be found and neither was her bag.  "Kitten?"  I called out.  I looked everywhere, thinking she might have been kidnapped again, but I saw a note on the nightstand next to the bed.  I quickly picked it up and saw that it was from her.

I read it three times, crumbled it up, and put it in my pocket.  I was too late.  I should have told her earlier, so now, I was angry.  I felt my blood boil.  I wasn't thinking when I took practically took every single piece of glass in that hotel room and threw them against the walls.  I kept going until the whole room was trashed.  I'd never felt such rage about anything in my entire life.  When I think about the fact that she chose to leave me, it just made it worse.

I stormed out of the hotel room with the note still crumbled in my hand.  I vowed eternal hate for the woman that left me.  Any love I had for her, I shoved it to the back of my mind.  Any warmth she gave me turned ice cold, just as it should have been.  I wouldn't love any other woman, ever again . . .
