As I stood there, trying to catch my breath, I saw Rishi emerge from the shadows, a sly grin spreading across his face. He took a step closer to me, his eyes gleaming with a menacing intensity.

I tried to step back, but my feet felt heavy, as if rooted to the spot. Rishi chuckled, a low, menacing sound, and took another step closer.

"You're so scared of me, aren't you?" he whispered, his breath hot against my ear. "You should be. I can do anything I want to you, and no one will ever know."

I tried to shake my head, but Rishi's hand shot out, his fingers brushing against my cheek. I flinched, my heart racing with fear.

"Oh, don't worry," Rishi said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I won't hurt you... yet. I just want to play a little game with you."

Rishi's fingers trailed down my arm, sending shivers down my spine. I tried to pull away, but he gripped my wrist, his fingers tightening like a vice.

"You can't escape me," he whispered, his eyes glinting with malice. "I'll always find you."

...

Rishi leaned back in his chair, a smug smile spreading across his face as he began to explain himself.

"You see, I just had to meet you," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I mean, who wouldn't want to meet the most beautiful woman in the world?"

He rolled his eyes, his tone heavy with mocking sincerity.

"I was just so captivated by your stunning looks that I couldn't help myself. I had to see you up close, to bask in the glory of your magnificence."

He chuckled, a low, condescending sound.

"I mean, seriously, who needs personal space or boundaries when faced with such breathtaking beauty? I just had to invade your home, sneak up on you, and watch you sleep. It was the only civilized thing to do."

His smile grew wider, his eyes glinting with amusement.

"And let's be real, you should be flattered. I mean, who wouldn't want to be stalked by a charming, handsome, and intelligent guy like me?"

He leaned forward, his voice taking on a conspiratorial tone.

"Between you and me, I'm pretty sure you're the only one who doesn't realize how lucky you are to have me in your life. I mean, seriously, what's a little stalking and harassment when compared to the privilege of knowing me?"

He sat back, a self-satisfied smirk still plastered on his face.

"So, there you have it. That's why I went to meet you. Because, let's face it, you're just that amazing. And I'm not even being sarcastic... okay, maybe a little."

He chuckled again, clearly pleased with himself.

"But honestly, can you blame me? I mean, have you seen yourself? You're like a work of art, a masterpiece. And I'm just a humble admirer, trying to appreciate your beauty in the only way I know how."
...

Suddenly, Rishi's grip relaxed, and he stepped back, a mocking smile on his face. "For now, I'll let you go. But don't think you've seen the last of me."

With that, he turned and disappeared into the night, leaving me shaken and terrified. I knew I had to get away from him, but I had a feeling that Rishi was just getting started.

That night was a sleepless one for me. My mind was racing with thoughts of Rishi and how he had managed to get into my apartment without making a sound. I kept replaying the events of the previous night in my head, wondering how I had been so oblivious to his presence.

As I lay in bed, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled in the pit of my stomach. I tossed and turned, trying to calm my racing thoughts, but it was no use. I finally threw off the covers and got out of bed, deciding to investigate further.

I made my way to the front door, my heart pounding in my chest. I examined the lock, wondering if Rishi had somehow managed to break in without leaving any signs of forced entry. But as I looked closer, I saw nothing out of the ordinary. The lock was intact, and there were no signs of tampering.

I felt a wave of panic wash over me as I realized that Rishi must have had a key. But how? I had never given him a key, and I was certain that I had never lent it to anyone else.

I started to stress, my mind racing with worst-case scenarios. Had Rishi been watching me for longer than I thought? Had he been waiting for the perfect moment to strike?

I tried to calm myself down, telling myself that I was safe now. But the feeling of vulnerability lingered, making it hard for me to shake off the fear.

As the night wore on, I found myself checking and rechecking the locks, making sure that all the windows were closed and secure. But even as I tried to take control of my surroundings, I couldn't shake the feeling that Rishi was still out there, watching me.

The darkness outside seemed to press in on me, making me feel trapped and alone. I knew I had to do something to protect myself, but I didn't know where to start.

As the hours ticked by, I grew more and more exhausted. But I knew I couldn't sleep, not yet. I had to stay vigilant, had to be prepared for whatever Rishi might do next.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the first light of dawn began to creep into the sky. I knew I had to get out of there, had to get to a safe place where Rishi couldn't find me.

I grabbed my bag and left the apartment, not knowing where I was going or what I would do next. All I knew was that I had to get away from Rishi, had to escape the fear that had taken over my life.
