As I stood before the mirror, adjusting my tie, a wave of unease settled in my stomach. The reflection staring back at me was that of a man who had everything-success, wealth, and a family that loved him. Yet, there was a shadow lurking just beyond the edges of my consciousness, a feeling that something was off.

As I finished getting ready, something strange caught my eye through the window's reflection. I glanced over, half-expecting to see someone watching me, but it could have just been my imagination playing tricks.

I shook my head, trying to brush off the sensation. It was probably just nerves about returning to Jaipur after all these years. I had promised Rakshita I would be there for her birthday, and I intended to keep that promise.

With a heavy sigh, I took one last look in the mirror. Still, the feeling of being watched lingered, prickling at the back of my neck.

Stepping out of my room, I made my way down the hallway, my heart pounding with each step.

Suddenly, my phone buzzed in my pocket. It was a message from an

unknown number: "Meet me at the old warehouse. I have something important to discuss."

My instincts screamed at me to ignore it, but curiosity got the better of me.

I hesitated for a moment before replying, "Who are you?" Just as I was about to put my phone away, another text flashed on the screen:

"I didn't think you'd forget me this quickly, hahah."

I furrowed my brow at the reply, my heart racing.

Who is this person?

Why do they want to meet me at the old warehouse?

I hesitated, my fingers hovering over the screen. The message felt like a challenge, a taunt that stirred something deep within me.

"What do you want?"

I typed back, my pulse quickening.

The response came almost immediately: "You'll find out soon enough. Just come alone."

A chill ran down my spine. Something was off. I couldn't shake the feeling that this could be dangerous.

With a deep breath, I grabbed my jacket and slipped a small knife and a gun into my pocket, just in case.

As I stepped out of my apartment, the sensation of being watched returned, stronger this time. I glanced around, but the hallway was empty. I shook my head, trying to dismiss the paranoia that clung to me like a shadow.

As I approached the warehouse, the air grew thick with tension. The building loomed before me, its windows dark and foreboding.

I stepped inside, the creaking floorboards echoing my unease.
