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 let Sam drag me back to the auditorium and kept my eyes away from anyone's glare. I can feel some of them staring at me—judging me. 


I can't blame them. If I witnessed an average girl kiss the school's ultimate crush, I'd probably be staring at her, too. Unlucky for me to be the said girl. 


Enzo and blondie stood a few feet apart from us, chin held high and smiles at the ready. They look like winners already. 


"Don't slouch. We could be King and Queen now." Sam said as he elbowed me. 


I straightened up though I didn't give a fig if I win or not. I'd rather slid off towards the dark corners and disappear. I started to feel an itch around my eye lids, I closed them not so gently and knew that it wasn't because of the make up. I was holding back the tears because I could still picture out Lucian as he kissed me.
