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

It was around 6pm the call had come in. 


"Let's go to the police station immediately." I said to Pastor James after ending the call. 


"Ken." I swallowed hard. The joy was too much for me to conceal. 


"Isn't that the guy that died? What about him?" Pastor James asked. 


I shook my head vigorously. "He isn't.... He isn't dead." 


Pastor James was visibly shocked. "What?" 


"He's alive. He's not dead." I said louder and hugged Pastor James tightly. 


"Ken is alive and Amsey will be set free." I said as the tears of joy flowed in their numbers. 


"How's that even possible?" Pastor James asked, obviously surprised. 


I stopped hugging him. "I don't know yet. The person who called was a police officer who only told me he had received a call from the hospital in which Ken had been taken to and that Ken was in fact, alive and well. He said I should come to the hospital. Pastor, of a truth, God works in mysterious ways and miracles do happen." I said, wiping my tears.
