Worship The Ground You Walk On novel Chapter 45

Claudia kept her eyes widely opened in the darkness, However, she still failed to capture Ben’s face. She lost the track of his deeps voice and powerful movements, either. That made her nervous.

Ben was domineering. His mood swung and when it came to sex, he turned to be very aggressive. He was overbearing and ruthless, with manipulative intentions flowing in his eyes and actions.

Every time he treated Claudia this way, it would bring her bad memories, making her panic and want to escape.

However, this time, before she could move her feet, her two slender wrists had already been grabbed by him easily. He lifted her hands over her head.

She was like a captive, completely conquered by him.

She was pressed against the wall, deprived of any room to move. Her hands had no way to push him away or get rid of him.

She had no choice but to look up. Ben's face was so close to her, breath blending with hers. There was an itch on her nose, but she couldn't feel any warmth in his breath.

“You should know your position, what you should and shouldn't do... do you need me to remind you again?”

His cold tone felt like icy snow in deep winter. It echoed in her mind and kept punching her heart.

Claudia closed her eyes. She hated herself for being unable to talk back to him at this moment. Were she not muted, she would ask him, “How about you and Hanna?”

The relationships between people and their exes were always very vague, which could easily lead to misunderstanding.

No matter what an excellent and kind person Hanna was, or no matter she was up for not good or not, Ben should avoid doing anything that may would cause gossips,

but Claudia couldn't tell him directly at this moment.

She could only hide it in her heart, letting it sting.

“Listen...”

His big hands suddenly squeezed her chin and lifted it abruptly. His squeeze was subtle. Then he warned her, “As long as you're Mrs. Crawford, you shall do your job with due diligence and obey your husband!”

Claudia's face got rid of his grip. She turned her face away and bit her lips.

Lucky for her, the lights were off at this moment, or he would’ve seen her indignant gaze with all the grief and desperation.

He was giving her the rules as a wife, while he wouldn't accept any from her as a husband.

That was unfair.

She tossed and turned in bed. It was finally in the morning of the next day.

The rain was getting light, but it might go on for a while. It had rained for a whole day and night, which made the road rocky for people to go back town from the suburbs.

It was rocky for ordinary people, but not for Ben.

Claudia woke up and got refreshed very early in the morning. When she got downstairs, she saw Ben already sit gracefully in the dining area in a suit. He was reading today's newspaper, legs crossed.

Claudia sat across the table and finished breakfast. He stood up and walked out.

She trotted after him and got in the car. When they reached the beach, a speedboat picked them up and sent them to town.

Raindrops kept falling on the surface of the ocean. It was bluntly quiet.

The voyage took them quite a few hours. They sat next to each other, silent. They both felt a bit awkward, and it was getting worse as time went by.

Ben went to the company. Claudia had herself driven to the villa.

He was giving her a cold shoulder. Claudia felt confused. She wondered when and how she had offended him...

But she was kind of used to it because that had been his common treatment for her since they were married. He had been giving her the cold shoulder; they lived together, yet at the same time she felt him so distant.

They didn't see each other for the whole day. As soon as Claudia opened the door of their home, she heard Conrad babbling.

The babbling sounded so warm and adorable.
