It was nearly midnight when I finally packed up from work. The office was quiet, the kind of silence that feels heavy after a long day. As I stepped toward the exit, the security guard stopped me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour ex came by earlier,\u201d he said calmly. \u201cHe didn\u2019t have clearance, so I had to send him away. But\u2026 he left this for you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My heart skipped a beat. I hadn\u2019t seen or spoken to my ex in months, and the breakup hadn\u2019t been easy. Why would he show up here, of all places?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The guard handed me a small folded slip of paper. My fingers trembled as I opened it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Written in messy handwriting were just five words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll regret letting me go.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n My stomach dropped. The words weren\u2019t sweet or nostalgic\u2014they were chilling. I looked up at the guard, my face pale. He nodded, as if to say he understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I left the building, clutching the note, my thoughts racing. Was it a threat? A desperate plea? Or a warning of something bigger?<\/p>\n\n\n\n One thing was certain\u2014my past wasn\u2019t finished with me yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was nearly midnight when I finally packed up from work.
