Maid For Love

In Maid For Love, Deyemi, a wealthy but emotionally guarded man, accidentally hits Chidera, a struggling young woman carrying goods on her head, with his car and overpays her. Chidera returns to an oppressive aunt who threatens to hand her over to the police over a fabricated debt inherited from her late father. Desperate to escape, Chidera tracks Deyemi down and falsely claims he impregnated her, hoping to exploit a rumor that he supports his pregnant conquests. The confrontation at Deyemi's house spirals when his friend John intervenes, and Chidera eventually confesses the ruse: she only wanted to flee her aunt's bondage. Moved by her plight and seeing a solution to his own problem — his mother's relentless pressure to settle down — Deyemi proposes a deal: Chidera will pose as his fiancée for a week until his mother leaves. Chidera moves into Deyemi's home and the charade begins. She wins over his mother, Mama Ngozi, with her cooking, humility, and genuine warmth, while Deyemi finds himself unexpectedly enjoying their domestic rhythm. He teaches her table manners, corrects her grammar, and shares his dream of funding a food business for her. Their bond deepens during a staged dinner date where Deyemi admits the night felt like they were a real couple. Complications arise when Diane, Deyemi's manipulative ex-girlfriend, reappears pregnant and moves in, claiming the child is his. Diane's presence triggers Deyemi's past trauma: he once fled their introduction ceremony suspecting she slept with his friend Fred. Meanwhile, Chidera wrestles with jealousy but stays at Mama Ngozi's urging to fight for Deyemi. Conflict peaks as Diane sabotages Chidera's position, and Deyemi's mother discovers Diane's deceit through a secretly recorded phone call with Fred, revealing the pregnancy is a setup and the baby likely Fred's.
