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 ca out of the shower, Katherine told him everything that had transpired. He sulked for a bit, apologizing profusely to Katherine about the ss 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 inford 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.
"Graphic threats. Intimate knowledge of your actions. He accused Giselle of spreading false rumors and Katherine of using you for hype. Sothing about you being hoodwinked by two won." Stephen sighed. The whole ss was taking a toll on his sanity.
Cage frowned. "That ans 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 cara!" she whispered.

An hour passed and everyone was sitting in their living room. The room was not ant 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 ti 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 comnted. "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 so 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 soone 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 ca back. The news broke out shortly before so we believe that it is soone 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 thod but it seed 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 sa ti 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 tis," Corey told her in a firm voice the minute she entered Cage's trailer. "If not , 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 tis." She couldn't help but glare at her hands. "Does Cage get the sa treatnt?"
"We have soone 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 dia is having a field day with all this protection, they think we are under siege or sothing." She had to say, it was not fun being followed by a mass of people at all tis, 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 fild videos as usual. The setting was a little off and the audience sotis asked about it but she didn't make any comnt.
One never knew who was looking at her social dia.
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 ssily over her face, obstructing his view of her face. Her shoulders rose and fell in rhythm, letting him know that she was sound asleep.
