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 824: Dug Hole

Ian had no plans for company, but Mina and Mills were inseparable, and spent an extra five minutes in the lobby of their doctor's office comparing and reacting to the photos they were given. Eventually, Drax suggested for the women to go home together, wanting them to talk in a less vulnerable setting. They, of course, agreed, climbing into the back seat of Ian's car, which left the man to arrange for someone else to drive his vehicle to the Lee Mansion for him. 

While Ian casually chatted with Drax about becoming fathers, their wives laughed excitedly, pinging baby names for Mills' twins off one another, and in between their brief moments of silence, Ian was almost positive that he could hear them crying as well. However, he and Drax refused to interrupt the moment they were sharing, understanding that, just like he occasionally needed to talk to his friends, the women needed to spend time with one another
