Natasha is Thomas's wife, they had an arranged marriage and he fell in love with her stubbornness, she was walking down the street to get home when she was yanked into an alley, Natasha knew how to fight really well but the man was big
"Mrs. Shelby, I believe your husband has a weakness, and that's you." He says and walks over to her, he goes to punch her but she blocks his hit and punches him in the nose and swipes his feet from under him, he quickly gets up and pulls out a gun, she slaps the gun from his hand and dives for it, they wrestle for the gun and he gets on top of her and starts strangling her, she's about to lose consciousness when she knees the man in the back, he falls off her and she gets on her hands and knees and starts coughing, the man grabs the gun and pulls the trigger, hitting her in the shoulder, she takes the gun from him and knees him in the gut, he back hands her across the face and kicks her in n the stomach, she goes to get up but he kicks her again, she sees the gun on the floor and dives for it again and shoots the man in the face, he drops to the floor, dead, she leans her back against the wall and closes her eyes, she's losing blood from the bullet in her shoulder, she tries to get up, but can't, she closes her eyes again and goes unconscious, she fades in and out of consciousness, she sees Thomas in her vision trying to wake her up, she passes out again and Thomas picks her up and takes her to Polly's, ada is there and she's a nurse that could help, Thomas heard the gunshots and decides to go see what was happening, good thing he did because Natasha was bleeding out on the ground, he saw that she killed the man, and messed him up too, he walked into Polly's house and sat her on the table as Polly and Ada get medical supplies
"My god what happened?"
"I don't know."
"She was strangled, I can see the bruises forming." She says, Thomas gets angrier by the second, who would dare to lay a finger on her, he was going to find out who sent that man to attack her and he was going to kill him, when they stitched her wound And patched it up Thomas picked her up again and took her to the spare bedroom, he payed her on the bed and looked at her sleeping form, he wanted her to wake up to something familiar so he kicked off his shoes and got in bed with her and went to sleep
