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 203: A Gift

Without answering 'his Mina's' question, Soren stood up and walked over to his workstation. His bedroom had been converted into somewhat of a film library.

There were piles of videos and books scattered around in an organized yet chaotic fashion. Soren's desk was covered in pages upon pages of unfinished manuscripts and research into the actors and actresses he wanted to portray the roles he was working on.

After his release, Soren adopted a pseudonym, wrote a script and was now quite well known in the arts. At first, his obsession with creating dramas was fueled by his belief that he had lost the woman he loved because he was not romantic or sympathetic enough toward her.

Later, it was because Soren honestly believed that, using the methods he wrote about, he could win Mina back. Now, it was because he wanted to share his stories of heartache with the world.
