Grace Chanbee

One night, three men; one child....

When Cassandra's mother is diagnosed of a brain injury with no relative to turn to and no help forthcoming, Cassandra is forced to do the unthinkable which gets her tangled in a web of three men. And the result? Unwanted pregnancy.

Amsey has never had a fatherly love and on finding Cassandra stranded and alone, he takes her in, offering to be the father of her child.

But things aren't always as they seem as betrayal sets in, secrets get revealed, mysteries; unravelled, or if you'd like, puzzles; solved.

Who will the father of the child be? The hypocritical Reverend, The deceitful John or the grumpy Employer? Oh! And not to forget; the foster father who is back after his betrayal?

        "The Child's Father" is a beautiful Nigerian tale which will keep you at the edge of your seats.

The Child's Father

I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain. 


And now the day bleeds into nightfall, 


And you're not here to get me through it all; 


I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved. 


I stood in front of the mirror disgusted by my own appearance. My cheeks were all swollen and my neck was fat and round while my face was covered with pimples. No acne removal cream seemed to be working and it was like the products did more harm than good considering the multiplied pimples on my face. Who would have thought the self-made beauty queen, Cassandra Msheilia Peters would turn out this horrible someday? 


Ummm... My middle name is Msheilia, guess I never said that. It's a Plateau name pronounced (Mishelia) and I think it suits my beautiful self or should I say, my once beautiful self.
