When a Genius Makes a Mistake

****Completed, but under revision.**** ***SUPER SLOW BURN MATURE 18+*** After struggling her way through university, Mina Harlow, a top tier graduate (and literal genius), with the aspiration of lifting her family out of poverty, was still living in the slums, taking odd jobs to earn a living. All of her hard work had been for nothing and her life is cast into turmoil because she offended the wrong Miss from a prominent family. Desperate to for her next source of income, Mina aligns herself with the wrong people, and finds herself amid several conspiracies that keep becoming more and more confounded by misunderstandings. She is mistaken for a spy, by one of the most influential families in the country and held captive as the confusion, mishaps and misunderstandings build up all around her. Under the extreme circumstance, Mina is thrown into despair, hatred and love all that the same time, but will the experience break her or make her ‘better?’ (This story is set in a fictional, modern day patriarchal society on the brink of a shift public opinion on the 'role' of the woman.) Excerpt: "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm stupid," Mina replied. The man laughed sarcastically. "I disagree. I think you are a very smart girl." "Being smart does not mean you can not be stupid." Who told her she was a genius anyway? ***THIS IS AN ADULT STORY WITH AN ADULT THEME. THERE IS VIOLENCE AND IMPLIED VIOLENCE. THERE IS ROMANCE IN THIS STORY, BUT IT IS NOT EXACTLY A LOVE STORY. ***

Chapter 722: Benefits

At first, Mina could not understand why her sister was so worked up over President Lee coming to warn her. Of all the things the man had done, it was the only one she could tolerate and while she knew it was done to garner favor, it was still helpful. Sadie had in fact filed for her own death, forging her father's signature on documents before she married Troy. Because records were not often checked between countries, and Troy was uncomfortable using Mina's money, she filed for the survivors' benefit, believing that the money would be a small cushion for them. 

However, what the couple received was a large amount, calculated by the level she achieved in the healthy child initiative. It was not specific, but Sadie remembered Dr. Greaves assigned what he called 'advanced tests' to her, making her kill small animals. It was physical at first, but after some time, he moved her onto poisons, which, oddly enough, was the beginning of his end.
