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

Shai's heart thumped as his feet carried him to where he watched Lisa walk. He could not believe his own thoughts, and although he knew what was implied by President Lee, he did not think it was possible. He could recall the exact moment Lisa walked into his office, throwing herself at him in a way that was so desperate that he could not say no, and without even thinking, he entered her body, releasing inside of her many times because he thought she could not conceive. He read the reports himself, and the woman's chances of getting pregnant were so low that he did not even think about it.

"Do you see how that woman had him wrapped around her finger?" Shai heard, freezing him in place because he recognized the voice of the person speaking.

"Please leave me alone," Lisa replied to the voice.

"You are my daughter. I'm only looking out for you."

"According to the law, I am nothing to you."
