He Left His Loyal Wife for Her Best Friend… His Wedding Became His Worst Nightmare

He Left His Loyal Wife for Her Best Friend… His Wedding Became His Worst Nightmare

Good morning, beautiful.  Big presentation today?  Yes, it is. If this presentation fails, I don’t know what we’ll do.  We’ve survived worse. I still believe in you. Bag secured. Let’s ride. Delivery coming through. Package for you. Thank you so much. You’re welcome. Have a good day.  Appreciate it.  No problem at all.

I’m home. Tunde, are you here? No time. Got to change. Dinner’s almost ready. Tunde, I made your favorite.  Thanks, Amara. I have to run to the meeting.  I know. You’ll be great. Here is your meal. Thank you. It looks great. You’re welcome. Enjoy. And here are your drinks. Perfect. Thanks. No problem at all.

Here is the rest of your order. Thank you for the great service.  This food is cold.  I apologize, sir. I’ll replace it right away. You’ll do great today. One day, it’ll all be worth it.  Amara, I know you have done enough for us already. You work two jobs to pay for our rent,

buy us food, and to service our dream. But, we still need more money to process our funding. And if we finally get this funding, we are going to be billionaires, and all our problems will be over. No.  Sell them.  No, I can’t.  We’re not losing them. We’re investing  them.  I’ll spend the rest of my life making sure you never regret this.

 Are you going to leave your best friend standing outside?  Of course not. Get in here.  I’ve missed you. I’ve missed you. You always make this place feel like home.  I’m glad you feel that way. Vanessa.  Mr. future billionaire.  [laughter] [gasps]  Let me pay this month’s rent first.  So, this is the famous company?  One day, this company will be known in this country and outside the country.

 And I’ll be cheering for you every step of the way.  [snorts] [laughter]  If we land this contract, we’ll finally have a real office.  We’re closer than you think.  This could be the one.  I feel it, too. Let’s go.  Congratulations.

You’ve got the contract.  I can’t believe it.  We did it, Tunde.  Together.  Please review before signing.  Partners?  Always. Good morning, sir.  Good morning, sir. Morning.  Don’t skip lunch again.  

 Brilliant presentation, Mr. Adibayo.  Another private call. The demands never stop.  I brought your favorite.  Just leave it there. Hey, Vanessa.  Good morning.  Morning. Busy day ahead.  Hi everyone. Good morning. Welcome to Tama.

Good morning,  Miss Vanessa. You didn’t tell me you were coming. I thought I’d surprise you.  Vanessa.  I reviewed your marketing campaign. I had a few ideas.  This is really good.  I told you she was talented.  This place always has the best coffee.  Right. And the company makes it so easy.

Best perk ever.  Mr. Adebayo, the television crew is here. All right. Vanessa, come with me.  Are you sure? Go. You’ve earned it.  Outstanding work, Mr. Adebayo.  Sunday, your presentation was brilliant.  Thank you, Vanessa. The team really delivered.  Everything okay?  It’s our anniversary.  Then, you should go.

Anniversary is important milestone for couples. And Amara has been with you since the beginning.  You’re right. Thanks, Vanessa.  Sir, the international investors moved the dinner to tonight.  Tonight? Are you certain?  I’ll call Amara. I’ll explain.  Is he on his way? I’m so sorry. The investors changed the schedule.

 He can’t make it. Please, pack it to take away.  Of course, ma’am.    Can we talk?  I’m exhausted.  So am I. But I still came home. I miss my husband.  I’m sitting right here.  No. The man sitting there isn’t the one who used to rush home

because he couldn’t wait to tell me about his day. You don’t laugh with me anymore. You don’t ask how my day went. You don’t even notice when I’m hurting. And Vanessa she knows more about your life than I do.  You’re imagining things. She’s just helping with work. And moreover, she is your best friend.  I hope you’re right.

Because if I’m not I won’t only lose my husband I’ll lose my best friend, too.  Good morning, Tamaholdings.  Meeting on 12?  Yes, they’re waiting.  That last slide is much stronger.  Yes, but let’s revise the market expansion map.  Good idea. Let’s highlight the new regions. You always make me laugh.

 Only because you’re so easy to tease. Sorry. Am I interrupting?  No, come in.  The quarterly accounts are ready for your signature.  Vanessa, can you take a look first?    I think Amara knows these numbers better than anyone.  You’re right.  He sounded serious on phone. What is going on? Is Tunde okay? You’ve been my sister for almost 15 years and always will be.

And tell me honestly, am I imagining this or are you and Tunde becoming something more than business partners? No. Never. I would never betray you.  I’m glad I asked. I’m sorry.  [snorts]  We hardly talk anymore.  I’m just trying to keep everything together.  You don’t have to carry it alone. Have you noticed how often Mr. Adebayo

and Vanessa work late?  I think people are just reading too much meaning into it.  Good morning, everyone.  Good morning, ma’am.  Morning, Amara. Can we talk for a moment?  Of course, Mrs. Okafor. I don’t like repeating gossip, but I don’t want you to be blindsided. What’s going on? Thank you, Mrs.

 Okafor, for your concern, but I trust my husband. And I trust my best friend.    Were you working late or you were with Vanessa?  We were finishing tomorrow’s presentation.  I hope that’s all going on between you

two.    Tunde, please sit.  I won’t.  We need to talk.  There’s nothing to say.  Aren’t you eating? You’re divorcing me?  I never wanted it to happen like this.  Then don’t let it happen.  My life has changed. I’m becoming someone different.

 I changed with you. We’ve been through it all together. I was there before anyone believed in you.  I know. And I’ll always be grateful.  Grateful?  Amara, look. You no longer fit the life I’m building.  I hope the life you’re building never forgets who laid the foundation.  Welcome to the Tama Holdings annual leadership gala.

 Tonight, we celebrate innovation and impact.   [cheering]  Tonight isn’t just about business. It’s also about new beginnings.    I’m proud to introduce my fiance.  [cheering]  Thank you all for this incredible honor.  We are so inspired.  Tamaholding CEO Tunde Adebayo announces his engagement to business consultant Vanessa.

   Breaking news, Tunde Adeyemi, CEO of Tamaholding is engaged to Vanessa Okoro.    Breaking news, Tunde Adeyemi announces his engagement to Vanessa Okoro at the annual Leadership Joy with attendees.  Delivery for Mrs. Amara Adebayo.  Maybe it’s time.  Sir,

there’s someone here asking for you.  Who?  Is that Amara?  Amara? You came.  You invited me. I’m glad you came. I wish you both peace.  Shall we continue? We are gathered here today. Before this ceremony continues,

I have a legal obligation to fulfill. Mr. Tunde Adebayo, this matter cannot wait.  Barrister, this isn’t the time.  Legally, it cannot. This is the original incorporation certificate for Tama Holdings Limited. Mrs. Amara Adebayo, you have remained a legal 50% shareholder since the day this company was formed.

   I never knew.  Because you trusted your husband.  I prepared those documents myself. They were never amended.  Effective immediately, all major decisions concerning Tama Holdings require the approval of both shareholders.  I never wanted your money. I only wanted the man who once believed we were partners.

 [bell]  Vanessa.   I thought I was building a future. I was so selfish and blind that I didn’t realize I was helping destroy one. If you could forget the woman who built your dream, one day you could forget me, too.  Good morning, Mrs. Amara Adebayo.

 This company was built by many hands. Let’s make sure we never forget that again.  I’m sorry.  Let’s begin. Good morning, Ma.  Good morning.  Good morning, Ma.  Good morning. Thank you for everything.  Do you have a minute?  Yes, please come in. Please, come in.  Thank you. I remember that day.

We thought one desk was enough for an empire.  It was. We just forgot why we built it.  Can you ever forgive me?  I forgave you a long time ago. But trust is something we have to protect before we lose it.
