Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband by Paga Slayer

Chapter 479 Love Confession Ryder's

POV.

My futile attempts to incite jealousy in Bella by meeting other girls left me feeling disheartened. No matter who I interacted with, she remained composed and collected, as if her emotions were impervious to my antics. Undeterred, I had to switch to plan B. I smirked as I thought about it because it was foolproof, and Ryder never failed to get what he wanted.

"Bella, I have planned a vacation for us," I called her while she was in school.

I smiled as I could imagine her eyes widened in surprise.

"What? No, Ryder, I can't go on vacation, and, most of all, I have some assignments to complete," she replied, her voice tinged with reluctance.

"Come on, Bella. Mum is persistent about my marriage, so it will be our last vacation together. I am sending my secretary. Give her your passport. We are going to Switzerland for a week. Just me and you. I want to spend some time with you alone," I insisted, hoping she would agree.

"Abroad trip? You will get clicked by the media, and I don't want to come into the Limelight," she worried, her brows furrowing in concern.

"Oh no, that will not be a problem. I will make sure of it. Don't worry about it," I assured her, trying to sound as convincing as possible.

I had to do this because I wanted her to be with me for a lifetime. I couldn't marry a girl other than Bella. I wanted to confess my love to her. She was my everything. When she refused me before, I realized how much I loved

her, and I never told her this - that she had a very special place in my heart, which no other girl could ever occupy. I just hoped she would accept my proposal during this romantic trip to Switzerland.
