On the brink of a life that seemed too dull to excite her, amidst the chaos of the insurgency that threatened not just her happiness, but the little she had as a world; Maryam Bukar Ibrahim seemed to battle more wars than her 16 years old and autistic brain could handle. 

It became too much to bear, too much grief for her heart to take and a commitment her innocent yet frail body could endure. As if that wasn’t enough, destiny found a way of getting her married to a soldier, at the brink of her father’s death and the last words he pronounced were of her becoming Mrs. Na’im Bolori. 

For Captain Na’im Bolori, marriage was the last thing he thought for his life. He was the prince of the Kingdom of Maiduguri and suffering from an unmentioned illness broke more of his engagements than he cared to count. Being a soldier was his lifetime dream, yet rescuing a dying father only to get him married to his weird and two colored eyes daughter was something he had never imagined. 

He took her home not because he wanted, not because he was ever going to accept the so called marriage, between, she was only 16 years old! But destiny decided to play with his heart and test how capable he was of controlling himself and protecting the ones he loved. As said, When A Soldier Loves...He Kills To Protect.

When A Soldier Loves

<p>With each word he uttered, his eyes bloodshot as his anger became even more prominent on his words and voice, Maryam shuddered as she tried to vanish into the door. He knew he was angry at himself for getting himself involved into the mess of getting married to her out of pity for her father, but then he couldn't shout at himself, could he? He couldn t yell at himself without being called crazy and the safest and easiest way to do that was by venting on her.</p>

<p>"One more sound from you, and I'll have to shoot a bullet right into your head and have you silenced for life." His words slurred out of him as cold as she had never heard someone sounded and she knew he wasn t just saying that, the cold tone that had accompanied those words obviously meant it and she gulped down all the cries that tried to surface into her chest.</p>
