Sarah leaves her abusive dean husband and builds a new life with Liam Ashworth in London.
Sarah endured seven years of a marriage where her husband, a university dean, forced abortion pills to silence a campus scandal, stole her research for his mistress Chloe, and mocked her with cheap takeout on anniversaries. When Chloe drugged tea that caused a second miscarriage, Sarah divorced him and fled to London. Her best friend's brother Liam Ashworth met her without demands, frying twenty spring rolls on their wedding night and replacing every white cup with blue. After doctors said she could never carry again, he chose a vasectomy so the word heir would never be weaponized against her.
