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

After I checked Krista and confirmed she was dozing off comfortably, I went to Lucian's room. Louie unlocked the door. Claus sat by the bed while Lucian stood by the window, staring at nothing. 


I cleared my throat and both men stared at us, "Now that you're awake we might as well talk about what happened." 


Louie hovered behind me, still shocked by the events. I let him lean against the wall while I remained by the door. 


"Krista is safe, the doctors confirmed that. She is not in a coma, thank god, but merely resting. But her mother arrived today and we had to knock her out until we can figure out what to with you." I pointed at Claus. "She wants to speak with Patrick, her husband." 


"Can you reach Patrick? Tell him to come out so Dina can rest easy?" Louie asked. 


Claus shook his head, "I tried. He is very far. Not even a stirring." 


Louie and I exchange glances, he broke the news, "We may have an idea."
