***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?

When a Genius Makes a Mistake

<p>Mina watched numbly as a nurse pulled Lady's remaining clothing from her body and proceeded to put her on a hospital grade cooling mat. Her niece screamed in discomfort, and it was almost too much for Mina to bear. For Sadie, it WAS too much, and Troy had to escort her out of the room to prevent her from interfering while the doctors did their job. Mina was glad that her sister had been taken out of the room because shortly after, a drip had been connected to the child that prompted even more screaming.  </p>

<p>It was hard to watch but Mina knew the medical professionals working on her niece were only doing their job. On top of that, she was certain they recognized President Lee and now that she was no longer a simple wretch, she was positive they knew who she was as well.</p>
