Prologue

My life has been one of hardship, pain, and dare I say it...Love.

From the beginning, I was groomed to become the world's greatest assassin: The Black Widow.

I know darkness better than anyone. Light is something I shy away from, not because I'm scared, but because it was something I was never shown.

That all changed when I met him.

He showed me what it meant to be loved, to be in the light. Because of him, I am who I am today.

Call it whatever you want, but I owe my life to him.

My name is Natalia Alianovna Romanova.

This is my story.
