Alter Ego: His Sultry Lover-Chapter 328 - Line Of Sight

That very day, a news article was published in a well-read online portal about Cage being flirty with Giselle on the set. The post had no pictures but the tone suggested that Giselle was cozying up to Cage. It made it sound like Cage was thinking about leaving Katherine and pursuing Giselle.

Cage was in the shower when Stephen called to inform him. Katherine remained silent throughout, not believing a word of what was written and thought about what could be wrong.

"This one is definitely not from the stalker. There are no photographs involved, but we are pretty sure that they are on the set. I just don't know how to lure them out." Stephen was at the end of his wits.

When Cage came out of the shower, Katherine told him everything that had transpired. He sulked for a bit, apologizing profusely to Katherine about the mess he had caused before becoming calm.

"That's not all," Stephen said. There was silence in the room.

"Is there anything else?" Cage asked, sounding on edge.

"I'm coming over," Stephen informed them. "One of the bodyguards found a letter stuffed in the mailbox. It's another threatening letter."

"What does it say?" Katherine calmly asked, placing a hand on Cage's shoulder. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

"Graphic threats. Intimate knowledge of your actions. He accused Giselle of spreading false rumors and Katherine of using you for hype. Something about you being hoodwinked by two women." Stephen sighed. The whole mess was taking a toll on his sanity. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

Cage frowned. "That means they read the news article and rushed to deliver the letter."

Katherine's eyes lit up with eagerness. "Then they must have been caught on the camera!" she whispered.

An hour passed and everyone was sitting in their living room. The room was not meant for so many people to be stuffed in, so the air was awkward.

"I reviewed the footage," Corey began, pressing the remote so that the footage could be replayed. "The person who delivered was from an instant delivery agency. I called to ask about it, and they did indeed get an order for it to be picked up. They need time to track down who had made the order." He reviewed. He looked around the room to read the expressions.

"It seems that our plan failed, then," Stephen commented. "Or it worked very well. We couldn't make them act out in public yet but there is a chance they are slowly losing control of their actions. By how fast the letter was sent, they must have been in a panic and ordered the delivery without thinking that it could be traced back to them."

"That is good news," Katherine said under her breath. She had seen how Cage kept looking at Giselle with some level of suspicion. He hadn't spoken to her about this yet, but when she thought about the clues, Katherine could guess what was going through Cage's mind.

He probably thought Giselle was trying to use his previous encounter and stalking incident with Kiera to frighten him and make herself more interesting to the public. But Katherine thought differently.

"It's definitely someone on the set," she spoke out loudly. "They saw the two of you interacting but they weren't close enough to figure out that there was no flirting going on. They are genuinely outraged by what is happening." She clicked her fingers on Cage's thigh, wondering if he read between the lines.

Cage breathed out and looked at her, a small, guilty smile playing on his lips. Finally, he looked down and didn't continue with this thought.

It was one of Giselle's bodyguards who spoke out next. "Actually, we found a knife stuck to the cough in Giselle's trailer before we came back. The news broke out shortly before so we believe that it is someone who has easy access into all trailers without anyone noticing."

"This kind of behavior will only get worse," Stephen murmured. "At least we have new information. That's all we can hope for right now."

So they planned on baiting the person out. Katherine didn't agree with the method but it seemed to be the only way to propel everything forward.

Therefore, in the following days, Katherine found herself on set constantly. This way the bodyguards could keep an eye on her and at the same time keep an eye on who was lurking around. It was all hands on deck.

"There is going to be a bodyguard with you at all times," Corey told her in a firm voice the minute she entered Cage's trailer. "If not me, I will have one of the others look after you. If you want privacy, we will station outside the trailer but wherever you go, we will follow." The words said were harsh but practical.

"So I have to stay within your line of sight at all times." She couldn't help but glare at her hands. "Does Cage get the same treatment?"

"We have someone watching him," he said passively. "It's under the set's insurance policy so we can't do a lot about it. Please don't fight it."

"I don't intend on fighting any of your plans. It's just that the media is having a field day with all this protection, they think we are under siege or something." She had to say, it was not fun being followed by a mass of people at all times, especially on set where one is supposed to be safe.

Despite the paranoia, Katherine managed to work most of the day. In the evening, she filmed videos as usual. The setting was a little off and the audience sometimes asked about it but she didn't make any comment.

One never knew who was looking at her social media.

On her third day on set, Katherine fell asleep while she worked. The workload was less that day, so she decided to take a nap. Cage found her on the recliner when he got a longer break. She was slumped, her hair falling messily over her face, obstructing his view of her face. Her shoulders rose and fell in rhythm, letting him know that she was sound asleep.
