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 told mesh loved it whenever you kissed her forehead, she told me you were the first person to ever do that to her and it s a gesture she so much loved. I don t know why she told me that, but I think she wanted me to wake her up because I revealed her secret."</p>

<p>Mujaheed broke into tears and felt a tightening in his chest, "Fareeda..." He trembled, moving her hands to his lips, "Please wake up, Fareeda. I'm begging you, please wake up. I love you, Fareeda, I've always been in love with you. Wake up please, and I promise to always listen to you whenever you want to explain to me about something, I will always kiss your forehead until you tell me it s enough. Please don t leave me with this feeling in my heart, please don t turn my heart to a stone. Fareeda please wake up for me, please." He was jerking as he cried painfully and Nana closed her eyes, her head still on her chest.</p>
