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 865: For Your Benefit

Ian stared at his 'daughter's' face for hours, and when he felt he had taken in her features enough, he turned to the photo he took with his wife, wondering if there was anything he could do to get their relationship back. He wanted so badly to return to the time before anything happened between them, and just forget about the woman altogether, knowing that she deserved so much more from life than what she received. The thought made him so depressed that he muted his phone, not wanting to be disturbed, and he instructed his staff to cancel all his meetings for the day, with the exception of the one he knew he could not avoid.

Since his separation from Mina was bound to go public, Ian assumed his father called the meeting to discuss strategy with their attorneys. The entire time he listened to the men speak, he was in another world, but when they mentioned changes in the law, his curiosity was piqued. 

"What changes?"
