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 863: Uninvited

There were some things that Ian could only deal with because he felt as though he crossed the line with his wife far too many times to be completely forgiven, but there were other things that made him question if her feelings for him were ever real. In one of the most disrespectful things he could think of, the woman organized a small gathering in her home, inviting 'loved ones' to visit his baby, without even mentioning it to him. His chest burned as he considered if he should try walking into the event, but with so much at stake, he could not make up his mind. He kept getting out of his car, approaching the doors to her family's home, then going back to the vehicle, feeling as though he would cause an embarrassing and unnecessary scene if he entered, but when he saw Cylus Rue and his family enter, he made up his mind; only, his feet were not obeying his body.
