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 210: Not a Good Person

Mina carefully closed the box containing the dress, and silently made her way up the stairs. Ian noticed that she was intentionally avoiding his gaze and he thought it was because of the phone. He could admit that he should have handled the situation better, but Ian's mind told him that Cylus would be using the device to spy on Mina and his household. He would expect nothing less because it is exactly what he would have done.

"If you want a phone, I will get one for you," Ian said. It was taking all his self-control not to rip the box in Mina's hands away and set it on fire. He was irked that she would accept a gift from a man that wasn't him.

It was the first time Ian felt possessiveness over Mina, or any woman for that matter. He knew it was not right to want to keep her tethered to him, but that is exactly what he wanted to do. If he couldn't have her, no one could.
