Chapter Eight
Almost a full week of filming had passed with no stalker incidents. Tomorrow, Friday, was the last day at the mansion. Theyâd pick up next week in a studio in Queens. Security was tight, and a bodyguard stood in front of Sashaâs dressing room door at all times. Though Alpha Security had run background checks on anyone with access to the set and whoâd signed in on Monday, no red flags turned up. A handful of people had worked on sets with Sasha before, and Alpha Security was focusing on those individuals because theyâd obviously met or seen her in the past. Clearly her stalker had issues, and someone mentally ill could interpret any innocent smile or look the wrong way and assume Sasha was meant to be with him.
Xander had come from a quick meeting with Isaac, discussing the actor playing Steele and his reactions on screen. The director was going to talk to Adrian Hoffman about his over-the-top emotions on screen. Sasha and Adrian, a.k.a. Amanda and Steele, were doing a slow dance toward a new relationship. Steele wasnât certain he could trust the blond woman whoâd shown up seemingly out of nowhere to work with him, but he needed to kiss her as a distraction.
Since they filmed out of sequence, the first kiss was up next. Hands clenched, Xander returned to set and saw Sasha and her co-star huddled together in the corner.
He wouldnât lie and say it was easy seeing her with another man, even for her job. But when the filming began, Xander distanced himself emotionally, and the only people he saw were the characters heâd written and an explosively hot kiss that would thrill ⦠and piss off movie-goers who had been attached to Steeleâs wife.
And though heâd like to say the experience showed him he could handle her life better now, all it served to do was prove to him how gifted she was and reaffirmed what heâd told her the night theyâd talked. She was going places and he wouldnât hold her back.
Hours later, they were in her dressing room at the end of the day when her cell rang. She eyed it, a frustrated look on her face. She hit a button and didnât accept the call.
âWhatâs wrong?â he asked.
âMy mother and Iâm really not in the mood to talk to her. Maybe later after Iâve had something to eat, a hot shower, and Iâve relaxed.â She picked up her bag with all her things.
âHere. Give that to me.â He took the tote from her. âReady?â
Before she could reply, her cell rang again. She glanced at the screen and groaned. Tapping on the screen, she put the phone to her ear. âMom?â
âHi, baby girl!â
Xander was standing so close he could hear her motherâs voice.
âIâm just leaving the set. Can I get back to you later?â Sasha asked.
âGuess where I am?â her mother asked. âAt JFK Airport in New York! Surprise!â
Xander met Sashaâs stunned gaze. âWhy?â she asked.
âBecause I miss you. And I wanted to come see you on set.
