Drive Me To Love

In Drive Me To Love, Tokunbo 'Tope' Oyatade, a formidable CEO known for her cold and efficient demeanor, is tired of relying on taxis and orders her assistant to hire a private driver. Caleb Kalu, a bestselling author suffering from writer's block, is disguised as an ordinary man named Ike when Tope mistakes his red car for her ride and barges in, ordering him to drive and offering double pay. He complies, and after she forgets her phone in his vehicle he attempts to return it, only to get tangled in the company's absurd bureaucracy. With encouragement from his friend and manager Rotimi, Caleb accepts the job as her driver, intending to research her for his next book. As Ike, Caleb brings her breakfast against her strict no-eating habit, defends a sleep-deprived employee whose leave she denied, and organizes a surprise birthday party. Tope, who has not felt genuine emotion in years, is moved, and she confesses that a car accident five years earlier nearly killed her siblings and left her emotionally numb. Their professional relationship deepens into a romance, and Caleb helps her confront her trauma, even teaching her to drive again. The secret comes out when Tope's sister sees a leaked manuscript online and recognizes Caleb as the author of a book based on Tope's life and her soulless company. The book exposes his secret, so Tope confronts him and accuses him of using her for material, then throws him out. Caleb's publishing company, Flip Side, refuses to stop the release due to a bidding war and approvals, so he decides to write a final chapter to reclaim the narrative. Caleb gives the final manuscript to Rachel, the receptionist, for safekeeping, then goes to Tope's office. He declares that he fell in love with her and sees her not as broken but as scar tissue, stronger from healing. He tells her she deserves to love and be loved. They embrace and kiss.
