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's going to be a girl, definitely." I told Amsey. 


He took another piece of fried meat and threw it into his mouth. He then rambled something to me. 


"What did you say? How many times will I tell you not to talk with food in your mouth?" I questioned. 


"Sorry, mum." He said sarcastically after he had finished eating the meat. 


"It's okay, my son." I responded, playfully. 


We were on the couch eating fried meat and discussing random things. 


Today was my 19th birthday and I had never been the type to care about my birthday. It's not like I ever got a birthday present, my mum would just lay her hands on my head and pray for me. 


I was really surprised when Amsey had wished me a happy birthday when he woke up in the morning. I had only told him about my birthday the day I'd woken up to find myself in his house and I had introduced myself to him. 


26. Happy birthday, Cas
