Everyone knows the expression "No one can pick on my younger sibling but me." What happens when that saying is taken just one step further?
Jerica Kendrick is a young, successful scientist, having earned her PhD at the age of 24. She specializes in anything from biology and chemistry to zoology and anthropology, and is living what she defines as "the perfect life", unmarried and carefree... until one day she receives news her younger brother has been killed in battle whilst fighting against corrupt governments in Africa. The news sends her spinning into seemingly inescapable despair. While grieving, though, she finds out there's more to his death than she'd originally thought. Intent on getting revenge, Jerica enlists in the military to seek out her brother's killer.

"I don't know what to do Xavier..." I cry uncontrollably into his chest as he holds onto me for dear life. "I know love. I know."
"I'm such a bother to yall." I choke out. "I'm so fucking weak. I can't even defend myself." Xavier's arms unwrap from my body, and his hands hold my teary face. "I'm a worthless h-human." Xavier furrows his eyebrows in pain. A tear of his own falling down his face.
"No," he says shaking his head. "No. You've never been a bother to me. You aren't weak. And you most certainly aren't worthless." I gasp to breathe, and he continues talking. "What you are is an amazing person who hasn't let all of this crazy bullshit affect her. You handled it like a champ. What you are is a strong, brave being that has stood by my side." I breathe as he leans closer.
"What you are, is the love of my life...."
