It all began with a single, seemingly innocuous message on Anabella's phone: "You're being watched. Better watch your back." At first, she dismissed it as a prank or a mistake, something that didn't deserve her attention.
But the messages didn't stop. They came with increasing frequency, each one more menacing than the last, filling Anabella with a growing sense of unease.
She tried to brush it off, convincing herself it was just someone playing a sick joke. But as the days turned into weeks, the texts became more specific, referencing places she had been and people she had spoken to.
The realization that someone was indeed watching her gnawed at her peace of mind. She started to feel the weight of invisible eyes on her wherever she went.
Despite her mounting fear, Anabella chose not to report it. She knew the police had already intervened with Jackson's recent harassment, and she doubted they would take her seriously again.
