Do you report to him, or is he in a position above you? Is your fear more related to your job or your personal safety?
Either way, what levite said. Copy and print the IM's and document on your calendar what happened/was said etc.
From what you've said, this person was able to control you pushing to find your weakness. But when you said NO, you showed him you're no longer scared and won't allow this. Chances are he will leave you alone because he preys on the weak, or he may attempt to up his game, thinking you're not really that strong. Don't give in, no matter what. Stick to your guns!
