Divorced the Dean, Married the Heir
Sarah spent seven years being told to be considerate. When her husband's student got caught, he pinned her down and forced abortion pills into her mouth so the campus gossip would land on his wife instead. He gave her research to his mistress, took the girl to Michelin dinners, and offered Sarah fast-food chow mein for their anniversary — no spring roll, because that would be "materialistic." When Sarah got pregnant again, Chloe served her a cup of tea that wasn't chamomile. Sarah lost that baby too. She signed the divorce papers and flew to London, where her best friend's brother stood in a doorway in an apron and said, "Welcome home." Liam Ashworth never asked her to be considerate. He fried her twenty spring rolls on their wedding night, replaced every white cup in the house with blue ones, and when doctors said Sarah could never carry another child, he got a vasectomy so no one would ever use the word "heir" against her again.
Story Guide
Episode 1
Sarah's husband, Chris Smith, pins her to the couch and forces two pills into her mouth. That same afternoon, a document about his student Chloe Bennett's abortion appears on every bulletin board on campus — her name blacked out, everyone playing detective. Chris needs a woman who actually had an abortion to claim it, and he picks his own wife. Sarah is four months pregnant after two years of hormone injections and seven egg retrievals. Soon the whole campus knows "Dean Smith's wife" had an abortion, and thousands of comments tell her to leave. When she finally places divorce papers on his desk, he barely looks up — and calls her cruel for not being considerate.
Episode 2
Sarah has heard the word "considerate" for thirty years. As Chris hesitates over the divorce papers, Chloe Bennett walks into the dean's office clutching two movie tickets, and Chris clenches his jaw and signs. Outside, Sarah calls the number pinned to the top of her contacts — Liam Ashworth, her best friend's brother — and he tells her she's always welcome. The divorce won't be final for sixty days. That evening she makes herself a proper dinner and opens red wine, and realizes she's smiling for the first time in ages. Then Chris texts: he's sleeping at home tonight, wants his herbal bath ready. Before she can block him, another message arrives — an "experiment" will keep him away a few days.
Episode 3
Chloe posts a photo of a candlelit dinner at a three-star Michelin restaurant — "not just dinner together, but breakfast too." Sarah blocks Chris, though she can't delete Chloe, still her student. A text from an unknown number promises to spend their anniversary with her next month, as if granting a favor. The next day Chris corners her, exhausted, demanding to know why she blocked him. She reminds him their project ended when he removed her name and gave the credit to Chloe — that's academic misconduct, and she was merciful not reporting him. He calls her smarter now, playing hard to get, then offers Panda Express chow mein for their anniversary. She asks for a spring roll too. "When did you get so greedy?" He'd spent over a thousand dollars on one dinner with Chloe.
Episode 4
At her parents' house, Sarah tells them about the divorce. Her father's fists clench — if he hadn't opened doors with his Ivy League alumni, Chris wouldn't be dean. He offers to have Chris removed, but Sarah wants a clean break. Her father admits he taught her to be too considerate. The next day, a student stands up in class and asks whether Sarah cheated, whether sleeping around and having abortions made her infertile. Another student claims Professor Smith said Sarah ruined her own fertility. Sarah finally says it: she's not the one who slept around and had an abortion. The classroom goes silent — then Chris, who entered unnoticed, slaps her. "Only people who own their mistakes deserve to teach." Alone, he explains he's shortlisted for professor and can't risk a scandal.
Episode 5
Sarah asks Chris to tell everyone the truth — that the abortion wasn't because the baby wasn't his. He turns away guiltily, apologizes, promises to make it up to her for life. She asks why he keeps her around if he likes Chloe so much. "She's just my student. You're the one I love." Nausea surges. Two lines on the pregnancy test. That evening Chris comes home beaming with groceries, Chloe right behind him, playing chef. Chloe brings Sarah hot tea first — "chamomile," to help her relax. Dinner is oysters, salmon sashimi, unpasteurized soft cheese, medium-rare steak — everything a pregnant woman is warned against. Sarah sets down her fork, not hungry. Cramps begin rolling through her belly in waves. The tea.
Episode 6
Sarah collapses, catching the curl of Chloe's mouth. She wakes in the hospital: the "chamomile" was pennyroyal, lethal in pregnancy. Beyond the curtain a doctor scolds Chris while Chloe sobs that she only wanted to help raise the baby. Chris holds her: "This isn't your fault." Then he tells Sarah her body was too weak to keep the baby — they'll have another. Chloe drops to her knees, lightly slapping herself, and Chris turns on Sarah for being vicious. Sarah lists it plainly: she never blamed Chloe, never asked her to kneel, and she can call the police to test that tea. She reminds Chloe to stop calling him Chris. Chris snaps that it isn't the first baby she's lost. So she asks the question: why did she lose the first one? He drugged her to protect his student.
Episode 7
Night after night Sarah sits on the floor mourning the baby who would never be born, while Chris takes Chloe out to eat and have fun. Chloe threatens to kill herself, and Chris holds her tight, glaring at Sarah: "I never knew you could be so vicious." Then, worse — he wishes Sarah would disappear and die with the baby. Something in her chest shatters. For two months Chris keeps appearing with Panda Express chow mein, as if bestowing a grand favor. At last the divorce is final. He sneers that she got a decree just so they could remarry in a few days. Sarah calls her parents; her father's voice is low — he'll take care of it. She packs seven years into four boxes, leaves the soda-can pull tab from their wedding day on the dining table, and walks out.
If you like watching a woman stop being "considerate" and start collecting what she's owed, this one's worth a binge — press play and see how far Sarah's clean break really goes.
