Thicker Than Blood

Where is my daughter?

"WHAT!?" I let out. In complete shock as to what my father has told the family.

So there I was minding my own business when Daddy called everyone in the house out for a family meeting, including the staff. The entire kitchen staff had to pause breakfast and the cleaning crew. 

So back to the family meeting.

"Dad I'm so proud of you" My brother Steven said to him.

This can't be real...

"You're not seriously doing this, right?" I say, giving him one last chance to back out

He tells us how he and Katherine don't want to wait any longer and that the Coronation is a perfect idea and that his love for Katherine is real vice versa and blah blah blah.

"Okay you had your 15 minutes of fame can the kitchen crew please get back to breakfast, I'm starving." I hint to the staff to get back to their job as they all leave, leaving just us, the family.

"Tiffany I know how you may feel about this but I think it's a great idea, your father and I have been talking about it for weeks and--"

I cut Katherine off.

"Weeks!?" I pause "Dad how long have you been discussing the Coronation?" 

"Four weeks..." He replies with no care about my feelings.

"Dad but the Coronation must be held 5 weeks after the announcement, to prepare the family..." Steven said to him.

"Which is why the Coronation is next week," Katherine says to Steven.

"Oh hell no" I stand up from my seat as I head to the dining room and wait for breakfast there. Ancestor Betty wouldn't have approved of this.

Coronation!? more like Ambush.

A few hours pass by Katherine decides to go out on a stroll out in the city. 

"Hello?" She says as she answers the phone to a mysterious caller.

"No one is suspicious. The plan is working so well. I got Tiffany under control and the Coronation is right around the corner. God, I'm dreading that day, they're gonna find out sooner or later but still. I hate doing this to Bruce"

Katherine continues to discuss her plan not knowing Isiah who hid behind the bushes listening to her conversation just as Tiffany instructed him to.

"You get all that, Tiffany?" Isiah says to Tiffany who was on the phone listening.

"I think it's safe to say her intentions aren't pure,"

"Neither is mine," Tiffany says. "I've got to go meet Bonnie this afternoon for a little girl chat, I'll see you at the apartment," She says then ending the call

--------

Bonnie and Tiffany meet up at the most expensive cafe in Atlanta to discuss Katherine's Coronation

"You okay?" Bonnie, Tiffany's bestie, asks.

"I'm fine," Tiffany says as she takes a seat at the cafe table. "Promise you're gonna be there?"

"I wouldn't miss it for the world," Bonnie says as she grabs the menu to order.

"It's gonna be a day you're not gonna want to miss. Has your brother said anything?" 

"Mmh yeah he said to swing by his place later and that the database is ready," Bonnie replied.

"Shit when?"
