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 223: Alarm

The sun had risen, but Mina had yet to close her eyes. Despite being in a beautifully decorated room, on one of the softest beds, she could not get comfortable. No matter how she tried to focus on what she could control, her mind still found a way to wander. She did not think that asking President Lee to stay away from her was enough to send him over the edge, but it was the only thing she could think of.

Mina had tossed and turned in the bed until the smell of something burning filled her nostrils. At first she thought it was her imagination, but when the alarms in the suite started to blare, she knew it was not.

Mina hopped out of bed and rushed into the kitchen where a very frazzled looking Luna was covered in everything from egg to flour. Mina rushed forward and pulled the burning food off the stove and doused it in water. Fortunately, there was no actual fire.
