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

 We arrived back home without so much fuss. Some of Dina's friends came over to update her about some gossip and it gave me time to be alone. 


My room was untouched, save for the empty laundry basket. Oogy and I slumped on the bed. The luggages will have to wait. The place was so quiet that I could hear my heart beating slowly. I felt Oogy's head pressed against my shoulder, I turned my head and ruffled his fur. 


He whined and blew a deep sigh right at my face. I smiled, "You want to run, hmmm?" 


When heard the word "run" his ears perked up. I looked outside and saw it was almost sunset and the weather wasn't very hot. We can do half an hour and Dina wouldn't even notice. I jumped off the bed and put on my running shoes. 


"Let's rest for a bit Oogy..." I said breathless after a few minutes of running.
