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 couldn't think of something to tell him. His tone had no hint of malice in it. My mind went through several things that could happen, most of them us ending down the bed. 


I was shaking and my teeth was gritting. My brows felt damp and I could tell sweat was forming up there. My mouth was dry and my heart was about to explode out of my chest. The fur jacket did little to ease my tension and to make matters worse Lucian wasn't even doing anything. 


As soon as he closed the door , he merely asked me where he was at the conversation. Because I said nothing he then asked if there was anything I needed. When I shook my head he just moved away and poured himself a drink. 


You're so silly Krista, I told myself. Why on earth did I thought he meant something sexual? That was just a fleeting question. He's obviously not dying to get in bed me. With his looks he could just snap his fingers and the ladies outside would come running on all fours.
