Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband by Paga Slayer

Chapter 480 A New Beginning

Bella's POV.

The sound of my phone jolted me awake from my slumber, disturbing the peaceful moment I had been sharing with Ryder. Gently, I disentangled myself from his embrace, aware that I was still unclothed, and hurriedly pulled the sheet to cover myself before answering the call.

"Mum!" I greeted cheerfully, my heart still elated from Ryder's heartfelt confession of love.

"Bella, what is going on?" Her voice carried a tone of anger.

Confused by her question, I asked, "What do you mean, mum?"

"You and Ryder are all over the news, and your father is furious," she complained.

My mind raced, trying to comprehend the situation. "What? I don't understand, mum. What's happening?"

"Where are you right now, Bella?" Her concern was evident. "I am... I am..." I hesitated, unable to come up with a lie.

"Are you with Ryder?" She guessed, and I fell silent, confirming her suspicion.

"Why did you do this, Bella?" Her disappointment in me was palpable.
