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 didn't reply him, but it took only a small lounge of her body to mesh their lips up and that was the perfect answer Na'im wanted. She kissed him slowly, in her own pace to show him the love he was sure she didn't know about in her heart. To tell him that she too, was in love with him as passionately as he loved her and Na'im kissed her back with equal hunger and passion. </p>

<p>When they broke apart to take a breather, Na'im stared into her eyes and smiled, "Was that an I love you, too?" He whispered and she nodded her head before she hide her face on his chest and he hugged her even tighter, chuckling a bit as he whispered again, "I love you, more, Hoor."</p>
