When Love is not enough

61; A pawn

Ch. 61 / 95 Jan 26, 2026

“Bastard, lying bastard. You said it was a lie, you said you don't know this woman but now, you agreed to the fact that she's your fiancée and the woman you love. See how shameless you are!

And you are pestering me to get married to you? How can you be without a conscience? We've been engaged for over two years. Your daughter is seven months old and she was pregnant for nine months.

Can you see dad, he was grinding his dick into another woman after slipping a shackle of pain he called a ring through my fingers. He'd been dating Sona for a long time even before his parents arranged this marriage.

This family is after your wealthy dad. His parents refused him to go public with Sona. We don't get to know about it and cancel the wedding. He wants to take everything away from me within a few months of our wedding and then divorce me.

He would then return to Sona and live happily with her. His parents are aware of it. But you, what did you do, enforcing a marriage down my throat. Do you even know that you were signing my future and peace of mind to these characterless people…” Camella was roaring when Jack interrupted her.

“So what, Camella? Who the hell do you think you are? If you don't let Sona and my baby go now, I will be forced to commit murder and you will be the victim!” Jack threatened.

“Please Jack, stop this madness. I warned you about deceiving the rich lady but you insisted, telling me that's what your parents want and you'll have everything controlled.

Don't do anything silly anymore. Your parents are to be blamed here. They pushed you into this act. They wrote the script and you played it. Now, don't hurt anyone please. My daughter and I will not be able to survive it if you spend the rest of your life in jail” Sona pleaded.

“I'm ordering you, Camella Wood, let my fiance go!” Jack yelled, his eyes red and popped out. He can take everything but not seeing his woman humiliated this way, all because of this senseless pursuit of wealth and status that his parents are after.

“Jack, what are you saying…” Clara, not tired of being pretentious. The game is up but she would not allow herself to be easily defeated without putting up a defence to the last but Jack interrupted her.

“Shake it off, mom, just put off the pretence. I told you that this spoiled arrogant bastard is not my kind of woman, I told you that I love Sona and we're settling down together but you refused.

You and dad insisted that I should let my relationship with Sona remain a secret and not let Camella or her father get wind of it. Even my baby, you refused to accept her as your granddaughter because you were afraid of being caught.

You keep threatening and insisting that I do whatever you want. Couldn't you think of other ways of getting wealthy? If you want to own everything Benson Wood has, find other ways to do it rather than ruining my life and that of Sona.

I cannot keep lying in the face of fact and reality. I cannot trade Sona and my daughter for anything in this life. I was never interested in this lousy woman, I never liked her, there hasn't been anything called love that crossed my mind with her.

I love Sona and she's my real fiancée, this is over, enough of the pretends. I can't continue anymore…” Jack bellowed.

Clara looked away. She swallowed hard, her face flushed with redness and she seemed to stiffened. This fool of a son has ruined them. This part he spoke last, should never have been exposed.

He's the proverbial lizard that ruins his mother's funeral.

Turning to Camella, Jack chuckled aloud “finally, your little boyfriend decided to expose me. I knew he told you everything about my secret affairs with Sona. Why do you think we keep having loggerheads with each other, that's it.

He is furious that I was cheating on you and has a daughter. But he is not better than me. No man can ever love you. You're so proud, arrogant, disrespectful and foolish.

Andre wants to take advantage of you and enrich himself. He wants to outsmart me by getting into your cunt. But I guess he got there before me. If he truly loves you, he would have exposed me a long time ago.

He also wants to enjoy the ride. You're a pawn destined to be used by men to satisfy their sexual desires and needs…” Jack was saying when Benson ordered “someone tie this bastard up and have him tortured”

His eyes were spitting fire and his complexion had gone reddened. It wasn't good for his health and he tried as much as he could to be calm but how can he, when his daughter's dignity was being toiled with.

As quickly as he spoke, men came forward to drag Jack but he was struggling with them. One of the men swept him off his feet and he fell flat before Camella's feet. Right there, he was overpowered and his hands tied to the back.

“The compound is vast, teach him a lesson before the police arrive” Benson Wood ordered.

“Release Sona and her daughter, drop them off” Camella instructed her chauffeur and she pulled out her phone, she saw Andre's missed call and she decided to call him.

“Come to my mansion” she requested and hung up.

“You think you can toil with my daughter's emotions? You really had so much evil up your sleeve and intended to ruin my daughter's happiness? I will not let you off easily, I will make you pay for your deception and lies” Benson thundered.

“It's not me, I think you should go for your friend, my dad” Jack shot back, furious as he was being dragged out.

“How dare you drag me into your mess, you illegitimate bastard!” Kunle Johnson exclaimed.

Clara turned and glared at her husband, he spilled the beans!
