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.

"She s the only psychologist available, Sir. The rest are professors, men and we all know we need secrecy in this. Does she have to see a doctor?"

"She has to, unless we want her dead and I'll have to be the murderer, then she might keep on staying as she is. but her head isn t straight and if I try to set it with my gun, she ll die, Hafiz." No matter the situation at hand, he heard Hafiz chuckled at how enigmatic his voice had sounded before he quickly sobered up.

"Then I think to save a soul, we definitely need Dr Nafisa. I'll make up a story to her and will let you know of the main facts I've told her on our way there. I ve got you, Captain."
