A dean's wife escapes abuse; a brother's friend heals her with spring rolls.
After enduring seven years of psychological torture from her husband, a university dean who forced abortion pills down her throat to cover a scandal and handed her research to his mistress Chloe, Sarah finally breaks. The final blow comes when drugged tea causes a second miscarriage. She signs divorce papers and flees to London, where her best friend's brother Liam Ashworth waits in an apron. He welcomes her without demands, fries twenty spring rolls on their wedding night, swaps every white cup for blue, and gets a vasectomy so the word 'heir' can never be weaponized against her again.
