"That's good and I hope she does too."<br/><br/>Shane replied to Marie. At least Diane had taken the letter, that was a positive thing. Hopefully she'd read it. He really wanted Diane to be safe and staying with Martin wouldn't keep her safe. He was a dangerous man. Shane realized that now. Martin Hayes put on a good show, pretending he was a nice guy, but Shane had seen through the mask. When he had punched him, he had seen through it. There was a darkness in that other man's eyes. When Marie asked if he needed anything, Shane shook his head.<br/><br/>"I'm fine, Marie. You've done more then enough for me. Thank you."<br/><br/>It had been a long day and resting sounded like a good plan. Hopefully tomorrow would be a much better one.<br/><br/>------------------------------------<br/><br/>"I know you do."<br/><br/>Rich replied with an arrogant grin. Of course she wanted to make him happy. What woman wouldn't? Rich truly believed he was a great catch and any woman he gave his attention to should be consider themselves lucky. He planned to enjoy himself very much tonight.<br/><br/>------------------------------------<br/><br/>"Hopefully it will be."<br/><br/>Martin replied to Pierre with a smile. He would love to spend as much time as possible with Pierre during this honeymoon. If he did, at least he'd have some fun. Martin got dressed and took the night cap that was offered.<br/><br/>"I will."<br/><br/>Martin replied, having no idea that taking the night cap was going to be the last mistake he was ever going to make in his life.<br/><br/>"God night, Pierre."<br/><br/>Martin said and headed back to his own room. Although the good mood he was in faded as he approached his room. Every time he gave into his impulses, he hated himself. It wasn't natural or right. If only he could be like the characters he played in movies. Men who loved women. Life would so much simpler for him. He certainly would not have had to marry his agent's secretary if he was normal. But he wasn't and this was his life. Married to a woman that he didn't even want to touch.<br/><br/>He was surprised to find Diane sitting at the desk when Martin entered the room. She had opened the letter from Shane but then had teared it in two before reading it. However, she appeared to have regretted that decision, because she had pulled the pieces back out of the wastebasket.<br/><br/>"Diane?"<br/><br/>"Oh, you're back."<br/><br/>Diane said, throwing the pieces back in the trash, along with the letter she had written to Shane as well.<br/><br/>"Is your head clearer now?"<br/><br/>Diane asked and Martin nodded his head.<br/><br/>"A little. Would you care for a night cap?"<br/><br/>Martin asked, Pierre had provided him enough that he could have shared it with Diane. She shook her head.<br/><br/>"No, thank you. I'm fine."<br/><br/>"Okay."<br/><br/>Martin replied, more for him then. Martin poured the drink and down it. He changed into his nightclothes. While he and Diane were marred in name only, they were sharing a bed. They were newlyweds after all and there would be no talk from the hotel staff that the great Martin Hayes didn't sleep in the same bed as his wife. Even if all they did was actually sleep. It would be the same when they returned home. They had to put on a show, to everyone, even staff.<br/><br/>"You should head to bed, Diane. We have a long day of the hotel kissing our asses tomorrow."<br/><br/>The hotel blamed themselves for Shane punching him, which was fine with the actor. He could handle the management kissing his ass and hopefully having another fun time with Pierre. Diane nodded her head to Martin.<br/><br/>"You're right, Martin."<br/><br/>She said, she'd worry about Shane tomorrow. Plus, she didn't want to anger her husband again. She changed into a nightgown and joined Martin in bed. They told each other good night but didn't kiss. No one was here to see that. Nor did they hold each other, like a loving couple would. Each had their own side of the bed and they didn't touch. Diane just didn't realize that tonight was the last night she'd see Martin Hayes alive.
