It's not f***ing okay for me to take

another woman, but it's okay for you?

It's not the same.

Biyi would never, ever...

replace you in our marriage.

You did! Ayo.

We both did.

Where are you going?

Ayo!

Where did it happen?

Where did it happen?

Hello, darling.

I said, where did it happen?

Is it me you are yelling at?

Is there no more respect at all?

I am still your mother.

Did it happen in your

bed or mine?

How's your wife?

A child...

a child belongs to us all.

It doesn't matter who

the father is...

It does matter to me!

You know it is you they are

going to call the father.

No, Biyi is the father!

At least admit what happened...

what you made happen.

I don't want to disrupt your house.

Which house?

It is not only my house you have

disrupted. You have disrupted my mind.

No more marriage.

I'm walking out.

What do you want everyone

to think?

Yes! All the better!

Let them know who she is,

what she has done.

What good will that do?

Do you want everyone to know

what is going on?

In your room?

In your bed?

Let this be between

you and your wife.

This woman loves you.

She loves you dearly.

That is the honest truth.

Okay, okay, okay.

What is it?

He walked out.

What do you mean he walked out?

Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, come.

Honey, are you...

Okay... Nike, wait.

You know,

you talk a lot of sh*t.

About wanting a different life.

Then you go and do this.

You could have refused.

You could have talked to me.

Told me what the f***

was going on.

- Showed me that you gave a sh*t.

- I do.

You don't have a mind of your own.

He's my brother.

What can I tell you?

Wow.

You don't get it, do you?

Get what?

He's my brother.

What the f*** is wrong with your head?

Don't you think with it?

I want you to get another job.

I don't give a sh*t

what it is or where you

go as long as you

stay out of my life.

What made you tell your husband?

You should not have told him.

I couldn't live like that.

Ayo!

Ayo!

Ayo!

Don't do this.

You made me into a fool...

all of you!

No, Ayo, please.

Ayo, I didn't know what else...

It was out of love!

Why else would I...

My whole life has been

about pleasing you.

Giving you what you wanted.

What I wanted was for you

to be my wife, no one else's!

I'm still your wife!

I am still your wife!

Ayo?

Ayodele?

I know you are in there.

Nike.

Ayo.

Please.

Don't say no.

If you want it...

Please.

Just come with me to the

airport to pick up Mama.

She knows nothing, Ayo.

Nothing.

Ayo.

Tell me your name now.

It's okay.

Take your time.

Adenike.

Adenike?

That's beautiful.

Adenike,

my name is Dr. Greene, okay?

You're gonna be fine.

It's okay.

You're gonna be fine.

Dr. Greene.

I'm gonna take you back

with me, okay?
