Clara Newin's boyfriend, Daniel, insists he isn't going to die (Of course not). He's being deployed to Afghanistan for a year, after which he will come back to her and they can proceed with the wedding (Yeah sure, so the figures showing that five soldiers die in Afghanistan each day are false. It not like he'll be fighting off terrorists or dancing around flying bullets). South African service member, Daniel Adams(who's honouring his father's dying wishes by joining the army), damn sure is no believer in coincidences. When Thomas starts showing up wherever Daniel is with Clara -- as perfectly innocent as these encounters seem to be -- Daniel digs deep in his foggy memory to unmask the face of the man behind his father's 'suicide'. Thomas kidnaps Clara to lure Daniel into a trap. Daniel puts everything on the line when he commits to rescue her. Thomas captures Daniel and reveals the secret of why he wants Daniel dead. Preferably in pieces. Clara soon realises the only way to save Daniel and her family is to eliminate the threat, and the only way to do that is to kill Thomas(And no, a legal solution is definitely not a smarter choice, especially because Thomas is the son of a Mobster with connections in all the right places). As if that's not enough, Clara still has to convince Daniel to abandon his commission in the army forces.

Chapter 1 PROLOGUE

Chapter One

I sit unmoving, similar to the rock beneath me, and watch the dark sky twinkle with magnificent lights. This does not give me the illusion that time has paused to give me some more time with the guy I've loved for the better part of my life.

As beautiful as the sky above me is, I cannot keep my eyes on it for long because next to me, there's a beauty not many have come by, a beauty only a heart that has loved, with all its might and soul, like I have, can understand.

Daniel Adams. I look at him now and see all the things that have made so many girls fall in love with him; the medium, naturally wavy and intentionally messy strands of brown hair that breadth over his catastrophic blue eyes with flecks of silver that shoot out bullets of honesty and integrity - eyes that could be beautiful in any shade. The thick eyelashes that ought to be illegal. One could reference the features of Daniel's face using 'moulded from granite' without any hesitation; the prominent jaw, chin and cheekbones.

Looking into his eyes I see grace. I see a magic that can only originate from the purest of souls. His look penetrates my soul and turns my insides into jam. It's not just how he makes love to me with his gaze alone. It's the way he looks at me when he thinks I'm not looking. This is when I see a guy who isn't just my best friend but a guy who would walk through fire to get to me. A guy that would die for me, or, less tragic, a guy that would, and always has, put my happiness before his own. He is beauty in its purest form, he's love, he's the truth, he's a dream come true, he's my everyday prayer but most importantly he's everything a girl could ever need.

This is the reason numerous girls desire him. But it is for this mass love by beautiful, established, successful older women - that I still don't get why he chose me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not questioning God nor condemning him, after all, he knew when he created Daniel that two years later he'd create me just for the sole purpose of loving him beyond reason.

Daniel always says that there is something about me that he can't get enough of. He tells me he can't stay away from me; not that he wants to. He usually says without me in this world his life would resemble the moon that won't allow room for the sun; unimaginable.

He's lying against the navy quilt I bought him four birthdays ago when he was fourteen, the dry ferns have no choice but to reshape themselves around the force of his weight.
