My journey to Geneva is coming to an end. A few days ago I arrived with my father to Paris. I was feeling better but my father insisted on taking care of me and helping me seek amusement. But like any father, he knew how much dislike I had towards things that involved society. Many of the times, though, when he tried to help me we ended up arguing and he was still a bit baffled when I kept on repeating and insisting that I was the one that had killed all of my loved ones, that I was the one who had brought all of this upon myself. He thought I was still under some state of delirium after spending much time in prison, but he would never convince that I was innocent. Only I knew the dirty secrets that I kept from him, and only I would know.
Later on our voyage, I received a letter from Elizabeth. She explained her feelings toward me and that made me realize that I still had that impending vengeance on my head. And then I began to think the depression I would bring upon my lovely Elizabeth's mind if she received the news of my death. I am certain the creature will have my death planned on my wedding night. But I will be ready to face that death and exchange it for his. The relief I would bring if I delivered the last blow to this heinous monster. And so I wrote to my love that she not worry about feelings towards her, because she already had my heart and soul for her to keep with until eternity.
My father and I arrived to Geneva about a week later with a warm welcome from my Elizabeth. I now saw her a bit more thinner than when I had left her, but that still did not change the fact that I deserved such an angel to be mine. And so as soon as we arrived a date was set for our wedding day. In a matter of days, the day had come and I was ready to face the monster. But as the days approached to what I should have considered to be one of the happiest days of my life, I had grown distressed and tense. The day passed quickly for both of us and it soon became to the end of the day. So we went Evian and I awaited the challenge that the monster would bring and the sun then set with what I would later consider the last moments of happiness I would ever have.

I like how persistent you were with your writing and how detailed it is. You've once again captured your character's state of mind flawlessy. Good work.
