The diary entries grew darker, filled with a sense of foreboding. Ethan, a talented artist, was commissioned to paint a portrait of Celeste's wealthy suitor, a man who was both arrogant and cruel.
Celeste was torn between her love for Ethan and the pressure to appease her family. She knew that if she refused the marriage, she would lose everything, including Ethan.
One day, Celeste received a letter from Ethan, a letter filled with hope and despair. He had been offered a chance to escape their predicament, a chance to start a new life, a life that was free from the constraints of their society.
He asked Celeste to meet him at a secluded spot by the river, a place where they had often shared stolen moments of happiness. He wanted to tell her about his plans, to share his dreams for their future.
But fate had other plans. Ethan never arrived. Celeste waited, her heart pounding with dread, her mind filled with a growing sense of foreboding. She searched for him, her hope dwindling with each passing moment.
