Chapter 1535
The manâs tone and the intense gaze in his eyes sent a shiver of danger rippling through Hannah. Instinctively, she tried to pull her hand back. Unexpectedly, the manâs grip was vice-like. Despite her efforts, she couldnât pull free, âSir, I appreciate your admiration for Hannah, but I am not her. Please let go of me.â
The manâs voice wavered with agitation, âHannah, Iâve told you before, you might fool others, but not me. You have a red birthmark behind your ear, something no one else can imitate.â
Unable to deny her identity, Hannah decided to shift her tactics, âAlright, since youâve recognized me, I wonât deny it anymore. Please let go of my hand, and Iâll give you an autograph.â
But the man seemed oblivious to Hannahâs words. He was too caught up in his passionate diatribe, âHannah, Iâve adored you for years. Ever since you first stepped into the limelight, when you were still an unknown supporting actress, I was drawn to you.â
Hannah forced a smile, embarrassment ringing in her voice, âI appreciate your admiration! Could you let go of my hand, please?â
The man was lost in his own world, basking in the joy of having found Hannah, âLater you got your big break and landed a lead role. I watched every movie you were in. I spent a lot of money voting for you in various polls, supporting you every step of the way. I followed you everywhere. Everything was going well until last year when your management team labelled me a stalker, accusing me of invading your privacy, and casting me out of your fan group.â
Suddenly, it clicked. Hannah knew this man. He was a deranged fanatic. He had stalked her, secretly taken photos of her, and had even used her pictures on various dolls, engaging in creepy actions that left her feeling violated.e2
One of her ardent fans had discovered his actions and alerted her entire fan base. The news had spread like wildfire, reaching not only Hannah but also her manager, Steven.
Upon hearing about the man, Steven acted swiftly, ensuring the man was out of Hannahâs life. Hannah thought that was the end of it. Little did she know that the man had not given up and was still pursuing her relentlessly.
Her priority now was to shake him off while making sure he didnât lose control and harm her or anyone else.
The man lifted Hannahâs hand to his face, his voice trembling with emotion, âHannah, I just adore you, in a pure and innocent way. Why would they slander me like that?â
Fearing the consequences of angering the man further, Hannah played along, âYouâre right, thereâs nothing wrong with admiring someone. Maybe you could let go of my hand, and I could call them and sort this out?â
The man didnât listen. He continued to hold Hannah tightly, his grip so forceful that it left bruises on her arm. âHannah, I like you. I just wanted to know more about you. Is that wrong?â He asked.
Hannah deflected, âYouâre not wrong. They are. But youâre hurting me. Could you please let go of my hand?â
The man was adamant, âI wonât let go unless you agree to date me.â
Hannah had encountered her fair share of obsessed fans over her acting career. She knew they were capable of anything. She had to find a way to defuse the tension and escape, âLook at my hand, itâs turning blue from your grip. If you really liked me, how could you hurt me like this? It seems like youâre only thinking about yourself.â
The man loosened his grip slightly, only to tighten it again, âNo, I canât let you go. If I do, youâll run away. Iâve been searching for you for months, across the country. I canât let you slip away now.â
Hannah was taken aback, âYouâve been looking for me for months?â This level of obsession was truly terrifying. Hannah was even more cautious now, fearful that he might be carrying a weapon. One wrong move could lead to a life-threatening situation.
The man confirmed, âYes, ever since your car accident, you disappeared. I couldnât find you anywhere. Today, I finally found you. My persistence has paid
off.â
This man was clearly unhinged.
