Penthurst Manor had not been occupied for a very long time. Stories about the previous Baron circulated all around. Some say he sold his soul to the devil, while others said he became the devil himself and still walked the earth.

Archeologist Patrick Neville had been drawn to the said stories. For almost 9 years he dedicated himself to solve the Baron's disappearance. Following a torn journal, he unearthed the Baron's residence.

Kristania 'Krista' Vinna Neville was jumping between her Mom's place in Ovido Heights and back to her Dad's mansion in Richmond. Ever since the divorce she had been constantly patronizing her mom's hysterics while her Dad travelled the world. She'd heard of the story about the Baron Lucian and had actually grown a tendré towards the man. No one knew that the man visited her in her dreams. She had contented herself meeting Lucian at night, however, the Baron had grown bolder and seductive. Can she resist his charm and solve his mystery?

The Baron and his Lady

I stared at Lucian as we laid under an oak tree, his chest was bare and so was mine. We had been making love eversince we got trapped. I couldn't help it, every touch or a simple brush of hands ignited lust within me. 


"I call it the beyond. Because there is an endless path leading nowhere. We could walk all day and still not reach an end. The only way in was the stone wall where the passage appeared." 


"How did you manage to live here at all?" 


I looked around, there had been other tress around with fruits ready for picking. Was this all he had all these awful years? I hoped not. 


"There is no hunger or thirst here Krista, simply loneliness..." 


I kissed his lips lightly meant only to soothe him down, Lucian wanted more though. I soon found myself on my back as he pushed me down straddling my body the kiss still on going as if we shared our breath's and he did not want to let go.
