Bitten By The Billionaire: My Darkest Night Novel Cover

Bitten By The Billionaire: My Darkest Night

I spent three weeks scrubbing carbonized grease off woks at the Jade Garden, hiding my elite tactical training behind raw knuckles and a practiced, submissive stutter. My mission was the only thing keeping me sane: finding my sister, Elena, who vanished into thin air after her phone last pinged near the city’s Restricted Sector. The breakthrough came when my boss, a bully named Uncle Wong, forced me to take a delivery to 101 Blackwood Drive—a high-security fortress where the drivers whispered that people went in and never came back right. It was a geographic match for Elena's last known location, but as I rode my battered scooter toward the massive steel gates, I realized I wasn't just investigating a lead; I was walking into a spider's web. The mansion was a monolith of cold concrete and military-grade surveillance, owned by Hugh Bradford, a billionaire who controlled the city’s elite like puppets. During my delivery, the magnetic locks hissed shut, the lights died, and I was plunged into absolute darkness with a predator who didn't want my money. Bradford pinned me against a stainless steel counter and did something unthinkable: he sank his teeth into my shoulder, using the rhythm of my frantic pulse to anchor his own fractured mind. I escaped with a bruised neck and a thousand-dollar "tip," feeling the crushing weight of his violation and the terrifying realization that my "clumsy immigrant" act hadn't fooled him for a second. I didn't understand why a man of his power would treat a delivery girl like a biological drug, or what he had done to the other girls who had vanished behind those black glass walls. My heart hammered against my ribs as I realized I was being hunted by a man who could buy and sell my life a thousand times over. "You're terrified," he had whispered in the dark, and for the first time in years, I wasn't faking it. Back in my apartment, I found a note tucked inside the cash that confirmed my worst fears: "For the inconvenience. See you Tuesday." He thinks he’s found a new toy to play with, but he just gave me the one thing I needed to find my sister—an invitation to go back inside and finish what I started.

Chapter 6

She stood rigid against the counter, her hands gripping the stainless steel edge so hard her fingernails scraped against the metal.

She calculated the angle of a defensive kick. If he grabbed her, she would break his knee. Cover be damned.

"Please," she whimpered, channeling every ounce of vulnerability she possessed. "Take the money back. I won't tell anyone. Just open the door."

"It's not about the money."

The voice came from the void directly in front of her. It was low, distorted, metallic. A voice modulator. He was hiding his identity.

He stepped closer. She could feel his body heat now, radiating off him in waves. He was tall, looming over her in the blackness.

He reached out. His hand found her neck.

She flinched.

His fingers were impossibly cold. Like ice. Like a corpse.

The shock of the temperature difference made her gasp. Her pulse jumped under his thumb, hammering a frantic rhythm against his skin.

Bradford closed his eyes in the dark. The rapid, terrified beat of her heart under his fingertips was intoxicating. It was a drumbeat that drowned out the static in his brain. It grounded him.

He traced the line of her jaw with his thumb. It was slow, clinical.

She shuddered. It felt like a violation, but it also felt... searching. He wasn't groping her. He was mapping her.

"You're terrified," he observed. It wasn't a question. It was data collection.

"Yes," she lied. "Please let me go."

He leaned in. His face was inches from hers. She couldn't see him, but she could smell him. Antiseptic. Expensive scotch. And something sharp and metallic-like copper.

"Why do you come back?" he asked. The synthesized voice grated on her ears. "You know it's dangerous. You know what I am."

"I need... I need the money," she stammered.

He laughed softly. It was a dark, dry sound, devoid of humor.

"Everyone has a price. What is yours, Girl?"

He pressed her harder against the counter. His grip on her shoulder tightened, becoming controlling, possessing.

Panic spiked in her chest. Did he know? Was he toying with her before he executed her?

"Stay still," he commanded. The authority in his voice was absolute. "I need to check something."
