All Chapters of Her First Mistake: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"That is all you can afford, Michael?" She asked, her eyes widen, Everytime they quarrel, he would not give her the personal allowance as a way of punishment. "When should I expect it?" She asked calmly, trying to control her anger."I don't know" "I need this money Michael, you asked me to resign from the bank where I was earning a good salary, you promised to take good care of me and the kids" she glared at him, hating his attitude."Well, in that case you may go back there""What are you saying Michael?" Sophia looked at him as if he had gone insane, she looked at him for some time and nodded her head, " okay, I think that is a good idea if that is what you want, I may have to look for another job, even though I don't understand why I should do strenuous job while my husband is a millionaire, but I need this month's allowance""It's not available now" Michael insisted and stepped out of the room. 'why is this man doing this to me?' she wondered. His attitude meant he would not giv

She looked around wanting a good place to sit where she would be able to see the activities on the stage clearly, and also see the two doors to the hall, she found empty seats in the middle of the hall and went over to sit down there by the aisle.She placed her handbag and book on the seat beside her to secure it for Michael, she had earlier called him just before she entered the hall to know where he was and he told her he was still in the office but would be leaving soon.People kept coming in, Sophia looked around and saw many men with their wives, most of the men wife suits, obviously coming Straight from their offices, a sophisticated couple entered, the man was the managing director of a bank, Sophia was surprised that the man came, that was one of the point she had been trying to get across to Michael.She envied the happiness she saw on the couples faces, she hoped Michael would walk in soon, if he comes in by 6:30pm, it would be okay, she would not be angry with him.At 6pm,

Michael sighed when she walked in, and laid down on the bed, he softly touched her arm as she turned her back at him " Sophia are you still mad at me, I already apologized, actually they didn't take much of my time and it was the traffic that made me come very late"She cut him off, " look Michael, you keep giving me the same excuses, doing the same thing again and again" she said disgustedly, " we keep discussing the same issues every time, Iam actually getting tired of this your I-don't-care-attitude, this your irresponsible behavior!""Watch what you say to me, Sophia" Michael told her, his voice rising as he removed his hand off her.She continued, " You don't behave in a responsible manner at all Michael, you don't behave like a married man, a father who knows he had a family, you could have arrived earlier if you actually care about me, about your family" she took a breath, " Iam sick and tired of all this" she threw her hands up in the air as she got up from the bed and walked

"Good morning" she greeted him, all smiles. "Good morning, how are you?" He asked, returning that smile."Iam fine, thank you. Are you on your way to the airport?" She asked, the smile still on her face."Yes""Okay" she waved, " enjoy yourself"Michael waved back, " I will, and you do the same" He reached the car and entered into the back, while the driver put the luggages in the boot, as the car was pulling out of the compound, Michael could not help but glance again in Vera's direction.Michael never called Sophia until Wednesday evening, " How is the kid?" He asked in a dry tone."He is doing well" she answered in an equally dry tone."I hope everything is okay?" He asked."Yes""Fine" there was some seconds silence before he said, " well, I just thought I should call, I will call again tomorrow""Okay, goodnight"."Goodnight" he said and hung up.Sophia stared at the phone in her hand, 'was that all they had to say to each other?' and his voice was so flat, with no enthusiasm, wh

"Well, you may suggest what you want us to do" he said, and removed his hands from hers.There are many things we can do Michael, but it seems you don't have time" "Well, that is not my fault, I have to work" he replied curtly."Yes, you have work but you don't have to spend all your time at work, you should create some time for me"."This is my company Sophia, I need to put in a lot of efforts to make it the best, and you know very well I have many rivals, this is also where I get to pay all our bills"Sophia looked at him, " I understand, but it's affecting our marriage now, our marriage matters, should not we do something?""I have told you to suggest what you want us to do" he replied, rolling his eyes.Sophia took a controlling breath, " I think we need counselling". "Iam not going" he snapped, getting ready to move away from her."Why not?" Sophia asked, not liking his response."It is not necessary, I don't need anyone to tell me how to handle my marriage, or run my family, be
