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 799: Can I?

Mina's eyes opened to one of the most beautiful faces she had ever seen. She wondered how she could be so lucky to have such a handsome man devote himself to her so fully, but her heart was still heavy. While she slept, she was certain that Ian asked her to start taking birth control, and while she said yes, she had no intention of doing it. She told herself that she would not bring it up unless he asked her again. Then, she would outright tell him that it was not an option for her. She wanted children, and even if the only way to make that happen was by accident, she was going to do it.

Mina went to make breakfast but was surprised when she found the same people who greeted them already working in the kitchen. They were clearly used to working together, and she could tell that their relationship was more familiar; they were a couple.
