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>Na im didn t give them the impression that they could talk to him about what had just happened. He knew they didn t want him to let her stay there but that was the only choice he had. And it wasn t as if this marriage was going to last, he was going to divorce her when things became clear and she got accustomed to the new life she was going to start living. He made all his reports before he took off his clothes in his office and changed into his kaftan, and that was the only time he remembered that it was supposed to be Eid today. </p>

<p>He would ve been thankful if he had the excuse to spend the stressful day of Eid at the palace, if it were a different circumstance. But Na im knew he would choose the stress and tiring day he would have spent in the palace than got himself meddled into the mess of getting himself married to that weird girl. He locked his office before he walked out, walking towards the parking space.</p>
