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 715: Because of You

Mina saw President Lee enter the room but said nothing. He looked handsome and well put together as usual, and she wanted to embarrass him a little by having him hear what Miss Lisa had to say; especially after the woman started to spout off nonsense about firsts and seconds. Her time away from Pan taught her a lot, and one of those things was that men hated to be lied to about sexual partners; something she was sure Miss Lisa had done.

Nael and Leal told Mina that the truth did not matter when they did not care about the person, but when feelings were involved, it changed the nature of everything. She also knew that President Lee was arrogant enough to believe he was the only man in Miss Lisa's life, and had it not been for the fact that Cylus told her about his past with the woman, Mina also would have believed the same was true, but now, a fact that Mina was sure was a dark secret of the woman's was being revealed, and once again, it was due to misplaced hate.
