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 blankly at Lucian. My ears might be playing tricks on me. Did he say wife? 


He shook his head, another cough caught him. His chest heaved and he couldn't help but tremble. 


"Careful, you may have damaged an organ." Tristane told him. 


I pulled him up only to a sitting position, his long dark hair fell over his pained face. 


"Can you do something?" I asked Tristane. 


I nodded and watched Lucian press his finger into his nose bridge. 


I looked around not really sure what I was looking for but once I see it, I may know what it is. I saw a pitcher and a glass on a table, I stood up and filled the glass.
