Steve pulled Natasha's hair strongly, and she screamed in pain, "How did you? How did you dare to cheat on me? "

"I didn't, I promise" she cried.

"You think you can escape this? You think you and your lover can run away from me?! " he gritted his teeth.

"He is not my lover, I don't know him" she cried. She was so scared she even forgot his name.

"You think you can fool me?!! " he pushed her, and she fell on the ground.

"You are only mine, till eternity" he grabbed her waist, his fingers digging into her belly.

"I know, please, my captain listen to me" she cried, pleaded, begged for mercy.

"Stop lying to me" he turned her, and grabbed her chin, making her pout.

"I beg you, listen to me, I don't know him" she tried  to say.

"You are going to be punished!! " he said.

My captain, I am telling the truth" she said.

"Shut up!! " he slapped her hard, "you need to be severely punished my love, so that you know where you belong" he said.

He grabbed her hair, and pulled her to the bed, throwing her on it.

"I swear my Captain, I don't know him " she said one last time, until he tore her dress completely.

He was very harsh on her, bruising her skin, leaving her almost bleeding, her cries, her screams, fell on the walls and died. This was worse, far worse then their first night, that wasn't so painful, and this was hell.

He didn't kiss her lips even once, he didn't look into her eyes to see her innocence. He didn't place any gentle soft kisses on her neck. It was only pain, only darkness. And after sometime, she stopped screaming, she went numb and fell silent. Completely  silent. No sound could be heard from her, she lost herself, she lost everything. Her little ray of hope died.

He moved away, and left the room leaving her destroyed, shattered, broken into a million pieces.

She lay there, numb, unable to move, the pain too much for her to bear. She kept staring at the ceiling, like a corpse, lifeless, pale, with deep dark circles under her eyes, and bruises everywhere on her naked body.

She lost sense of time, of place, of self. She only knew pain and darkness, darkness which took over her life and she finally succumbed to it.

"Natasha!!! " Maria entered the room in the morning, and found her in the worst condition imaginable.

"Oh my God!! " she took a white sheet and covered her lifting her up and hugging her, "I am so sorry Natasha, oh my God. No, no. Shit!! " Maria got tears in her eyes. Natasha was staring blankly unaware of her surroundings.

"Natasha!! Please say something  anything " Maria took her cheek, "Natasha? " she shook her, but no response came, "oh my God. No!!! "

Maria gently pat her on the cheek, shook her tried to look into her blank eyes but nothing, she found nothing. Just a living corpse.

"Natasha please, cry, say something, anything but this silence" Maria pleaded. 

But no response came till long, and then, as the maid entered with the tray. Natasha looked at her.

"Food? Are you hungry Natasha? Do you want to eat? " Maria asked.

Natasha looked at Maria, her throat itched, she pointed at the glass of water.

"Water? You want water? " Maria cupped her face. Natasha nodded.

"Give her the glass" Maria commanded, and the maid handed her the glass instantly.

Maria helped her drink, Natasha coughed, then drank some more.

"Do you want to eat? " she asked.

Natasha didn't response. The maid left the tray on the table and left.

"I am so sorry Natasha" Maria touched her head to hers. Trying her best to comfort her.

Natasha got up, holding the sheet to her chest, and Maria followed her. She entered the bath, throwing the sheet on the floor, and turned the tap on. Maria saw the bruises on her skin.

"Why Steve? Why? You are so gonna regret this?! " Maria said.

The water was steaming, and Maria rushed in, turning the cold tap on.

"What are you doing, it will scald your skin" she said. But Natasha didn't seem to listen, she had locked herself out. No one could reach her mind anymore.

Maria wrapped the towel around her, and took her out, bringing a soft fabric dress and putting it on her.

"I am really sorry Natasha" she said again.

She tried to feed her, but she didn't open her mouth, Maria pleaded and pleaded, but in vain.

Tired she helped her lay down and left the room, in intense anger.

Bucky was slapped so hard he fell on the floor, Maria pointed her pistol on him, right in the centre of the living room.

"You destroyed the poor girl, she is a living corpse now, thanks to you" she yell.

"I only wanted to rescue her" he said in his defense.

"And that almost killed her" Maria shouted.

"What's going on? " Steve entered, all drunk, his clothes messed up, eyes red.

"He did it Steve, he entered her room,  he drugged those guards she doesn't even know him. He had his eyes for her. You punished her for his sins, he is the one trying to take her, cheat you,  she is innocent. She is pure" Maria yell.

Steve looked at Bucky in anger, his eyes burning in rage. He moved to charge on him but Maria stopped him.

"His punishment can wait, go to her first. You have destroyed her. She has become a living corpse now" Maria said with tears in her eyes.

Steve looked up, his heart sank. He had reacted without thinking. His breaths became uneven.

"I hurt her" Steve said, "I hurt my Natasha " he said.

"You will pay Buck!! In the worse way, you made me hurt my Natasha. I will make life a living hell for you" he said with gritted teeth.

Turning away in anger, and rushed upstairs, to correct what he wronged.
