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

The high-pitched cry of the baby woke me up. I covered my ears with the pillow, unwilling to get up at that particular time. 


Couldn't Amsey just be generous enough to help me out with the baby? I hadn't slept all night because of Cameron and just when I had drifted off to sleep, he had decided to ruin my sleep again. 


I couldn't ignore his cry for much longer. I banged my knuckles on the bed filled with so much annoyance and climbed out of the bed aggressively. 


I saw the sun had already risen. I checked my phone and saw the time was already past eight in the morning. Wow! I didn't know the time had passed by quickly. Well, you never know how time flies while you're busy sleeping and dreaming. 


Cameron's cry had been my alarm for the past one month since his birth. He cried a lot for a month-old baby.
