</div>She could feel the stress of the unexpected drama filling her bloodstream and create havoc inside her mind. It was unbelievable how this mix-up happened; she thought her wedding planner had been meticulous up to the point where she didn’t need to worry about a single thing. The way her planner handled everything made her feel reassured that her wedding would go without a hitch. She even scoffed at other brides who turned into monsters during their own wedding plans. Now, she realized why some brides handled things the way they did—they didn’t want to be stuck in a situation and scandal such as this. If word got out that she had spent the night with her future husband’s father in their honeymoon suite, she wouldn’t be able to see eye-to-eye with any of her family or friends in the same manner. However, Manny was quick to judge the situation as calmly as possible, reassuring her as he squeezed her hands.<br/>
<br/>
Seeing him handle things was able to bring a sigh of relief as she was glad that he was taking care of the problem. Massaging her temples, she tried to calm her nerves and hoped for the best. Grace offered her future father-in-law a small smile and nodded her head, “Alright, seeing as there’s nothing else, we could possibly do, we can stay for one night and fix the problem tomorrow morning.” Grabbing her bags and her suitcase, she turned to face the receptionist before glancing toward Manny. <b>“Yes, that would be best. I don’t want <i>anyone</i> to know—it’ll be difficult to explain everything to him after he’s learned that we spent the night in our honeymoon suite.”</b> Pausing, she soon added, <b>“Thank you, Manny, for being so understanding about everything. I wouldn’t know what I’d do without you.”</b> She softly laughed as she finally found a sense of calm and relief wash over her. Her father-in-law seemed to be a kind man and despite his tough exterior, she could tell there was much more to him than he let on. Not to mention, he was quite attractive.<br/>
<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(163, 143, 132)">“Here are the keys to the suite,”</span> the receptionist handed the keys to Manny and leaned over the counter to gesture toward the north elevators, <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(163, 143, 132)">“Take the north elevators up to level twenty-two and then make a right. Continue down the hall and you’ll see double doors at the end on the left.”</span> Smiling toward the bride and Manny, she added, <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(163, 143, 132)">“We hope you enjoy your stay.”</span><br/>
<br/>
The young brunette turned to glance at Manny, <b>“Ready?”</b> Once Manny was ready to go, she followed him to the north elevators where they would reach the twenty-second floor as per the receptionist’s instructions. The interior of the hotel was immaculate and modern; it exuded a relaxing vacation—away from the ordinary life back home. Inside the elevator, there were different buttons for restaurants, hotel pools, spas, and saunas, shopping stores, and parking garages. This hotel seemed to have everything as she remembered James telling her that it was connected to a few different beaches around the area. They would be able to explore wherever they wanted as the hotel was the heart of their venue. Grace didn’t know that her husband-to-be had surprised her with a romantic suite for them to share afterward. She merely thought he would book them a normal room with a view. However, the surprise was on James as she was going to spend her first night with his father instead.<br/>
<br/>
As the elevator took them up several floors, she watched as the numbers on the screen increased until it stopped gently on level twenty-two. The hotel was quiet with faint music streaming through the corridors. She gathered her belongings and continued to follow her father-in-law as she had memorized the receptionist’s directions on where to find their room. Each step forward made her mind wander more as she glanced at Manny, quietly contemplating what they would do inside the room. Would he sleep on the same bed as she? Or would he offer to sleep on the floor? There was also the matter of taking turns using the bathroom and taking a shower. Grace wasn’t sure what to expect or what state the room was currently in—since it was a romantic suite, did that mean James asked staff to pull out all the stops: rose petals, chilled champagne, hot tub or a warm bubble bath? Nibbling on her bottom lip, she was lost in her thoughts as she knew that she had to play dumb and pretend to be surprised when James replaced his father. Trying her best to rid herself of those thoughts, she focused on the present as they neared the double doors down the hall and to the left.<br/>
<br/>
<b>“Well, at least this could be the start of our new adventure,”</b> she laughed, trying to keep things light now that they were stuck in this situation together.<br/>
