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

 Lucian sat dumbfounded and ecstatic at the same time. Patrick had just finished laying the preposition to him. He refused to respond, telling the man he was weighing things. 


 Patrick merely sat back and measured him. The man was older if they count the present but Lucian had way more years than he ever did. The amount of experience gap was huge. Yet, the idea he had spread for Lucian was something only a true grown man could think of. He knew Patrick planned the whole thing and he couldn't believe his luck. 


 "Would you need time to think about it?" 


 Lucian nodded, though he knew he would say yes eventually. 


"Very well, I'll leave you to it. I do have work to catch up." Patrick said, dismissing him.
