***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

In the morning, Mina tried to wiggle out of Ian's arms, but her motions woke the man, who pulled her back into him. He planted playful kisses on her face and neck, making her giggle from the tickling sensation that it sent down her spine. Eventually, his hands began to wander, and before she could stop him, he was massaging her breasts.

"What are you doing?" Mina panted, but Ian did not respond. Instead, he positioned his body above her as if he were ready to pick up where they left off the night before.

Unfortunately, his plan was thwarted by Lady, whose babbling sounded like she was annoyed, obviously unhappy with the fact that she was being ignored. Mina went to get her niece, who she brought back into the bed to say good morning to her uncle. Ian took Lady from Mina's arms and in a manner that was so serious it was funny, he asked her if she were targeting him. Unable to speak, Lady did not respond to the question, but it did not stop Ian from pressing her.
