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

"Mum, where are we going again?" Cameron asked, as I helped him tie up his shoelaces. 


I cleared my throat, "To the hospital." 


"For what? I don't have an appointment with the doctor today or do I?" He asked. 


"Then what are we going for?" He asked. 


I smiled and stroked his hair gently then I sat beside him on his bed. 


"Darling, how will you feel knowing I've lied to you about something?" I asked. 


"Mum, you always say it's not good to lie so I know you will never lie," He said. 


I smiled, "But what if I did?" I asked. 


"I don't know how I'd feel," Cameron replied truthfully. 


I sighed, "Darling, there's something I must tell you." 


"Your...ummm...your... Your father isn't dead," I stuttered. 


He looked at me in disbelief, "What are you saying mum?" 


"I lied to you. Your father hurt me and that's why I didn't want him to come close to you," I explained.
