In Obsessed Derek Charles (Idris Elba) is an executive vice president with a Los Angeles investment house. He has a beautiful wife, Sharon (Beyonce Knowles), who he is deeply in love with, and a young son. The family has just moved into a large house and things are going well for Derek and his family.
That all changes the day a beautiful office temp, Lisa (Ali Larter), fills in for his secretary who’s out with the flu. Derek has promised Sharon he would only hire male secretaries because Derek met Lisa when she was his secretary and that’s how their relationship developed. Against his better judgment he “allows” Lisa to finish out the day. She’s flirty and playful but Derek sees her as harmless.
To Derek’s surprise Lisa is back the next day, filling in for another secretary who has the flu. Lisa is attracted to Derek and Sharon recognizes that, even if Derek is in denial. Lisa starts upping her flirtation, including trying to get Derek drunk at the Christmas party, trying to kiss him under the mistletoe, and showing up in a trench coat revealing she’s just wearing her bra and panties underneath. Since Derek tells her no each and every time and feels he has it under control he doesn’t tell Sharon about these incidents.
A few months after Lisa has finished her time at the company, Derek and his employees are away at a retreat and Lisa shows up, still wanting Derek. After she somehow drugs his drink and takes him back to his hotel room she seems to have her way with him. Derek remembers nothing and tells her to leave, this causes Lisa to try and overdose on pills. Derek calls 911 and saves Lisa’s life; Sharon can’t get a hold of Derek, finds out what happened from a co-worker, and goes to the hospital to find out what’s going on.

I hate to say this, but this review is sort of lacking in opinion. It's more of a summary of the film than a conjecture.
