"Christine, I love you."
The phantom's voice played a sweet tune in my mind. It was the first time he had confessed his love, but sadly, I couldn't return the favor. He had given me everything, fame, fortune, and a life of excitement and curiosity. Still, he had threatened to hang my beloved Raoul and sentence me to an eternity locked away from the world.
My clammy hands shook with emotion as I slid the beautiful, diamond ring off my finger. The disfigured man helplessly gazed into my eyes, transforming my soul. I was the only one to look past his hideous physical appearance, to know how to comfort a creature of darkness; I couldn't bare holding in my emotions any longer. Tears plunged down my pale cheeks and I looked down to take his hand. Making sure not to drop the small item, I closed his rough fingers around the ring. "Goodbye," all sadness echoing through my word. I spun around and dragged my wedding dress through the foggy water to meet Raoul's awaiting boat.

UPDATE 2020: Hello, all! I realized that this book recently gained traction in the fanfic world of Wattpad, again. Unfortunately, I wrote this back in 2014 and have yet to go through and edit.
At one point, I planned on making a sequel to this. I don't expect to do so any time soon, but I appreciate the reads and the comments!

((Currently, I am rewriting this story to fit my current writing style, given this was written when I was in high school and I am in college now. There are a lot of changes, but I am leaving the original because I still like looking back on it. You can find the new & improved rewrite here: https://www.wattpad.com/433738666-an-opera-ghost-a-phantom-of-the-opera-fanfiction ))

They knew it was the Phantom who had given Christine the child to make them suffer. Raoul, unable to keep this ghost of his past, takes Florence to the Opera Populaire knowing the Phantom still was lurking there as they tried to restore the place.The Phantom was in fact still there and he gladly took his daughter, hoping to raise her to be one of the opera's greatest singers. And as she grew, it was obvious his plans would succeed. But when Florence begins to fall for one of her patrons, will the Phantom allow her to love?
*Just so you know, this is not just about the Phantom's daughter, but also about the Phantom himself, the Giry's, and the de Chagny's*
