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 754: Complete Mess

Instead of walking in like he would on a normal day, Ian knocked at Mina's bedroom door. The woman cautiously opened it, turning red at the sight of him after he playfully added that he was fully clothed. He told her that he just wanted to talk, but she looked conflicted about allowing him into her bedroom, so he asked her to follow him to his study. Once inside, Mina studied the place for a long time, running her hands over the books before stopping at the chair he kept solely because after she was gone, it was one of the few items that had her scent on it.

"You remember this room, but not how it looks now, and you aren't sure why it's a part of your memory." Mina nodded slowly, her face betraying the confusion she felt as she tried to fill the gaps in her mind but was failing. Ian gestured for Mina to sit, and as he thought, she chose the chair that was most familiar to her. "Is there anything you want to know?"
