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>She thought he was going to comfort her and tell her that what she had said was wrong. He was never going to get married again in his life and when the time was right he will introduce her to his world, but it seemed like she had been right all along. He was going to get married and didn t want to say it out loud to her. And surprisingly, the thoughts of him being with another woman, especially if that woman would turn out to be Dr Nafisa, Maryam felt too much pain which she wouldn t be able to endure. </p>

<p>She might as well choose to be divorced, that way, she d know there were no strings attached between them. </p>
