PART ONE: THE LOVE OF A MOTHER CHAPTER ELEVENIt was true Daniel felt a little uncomfortable with the words Rud had said, he had never though Rud was seeing as a father, that title was too big for him for a man who was looking for the killer of his sister to kill him with his bare hands. He didn’t deserve Rud to think of him like that. His past was never going to let him go, that same past had taken him between its claws forcing him to act by hate before love.By that moment Rud was saying that, in his mind the idea he had never looked into Rebecca’s past. He just knew she had been kicked out by his own husband but, it had barely been two months living with her and her son that never found interesting to looking into her just to understand the person whom he was sharing with him. For a minute it was enough for him to see her as a single mom with her son. As soon as the landlord told him there was a space available in the same room that had been occupied, he didn’t though of anything

PART ONE: THE LOVE OF A MOTHER CHAPTER THIRTEEN Daniel’s expression changed when he heard the door. They were waiting no one since they were people who seemed to be hiding from the entire world.“You wait someone?” Rebecca asked.Not even at full light of the day was safe to open the door of that old building that had no security. Of course! How did they even think about security when they were hiding from the authorities?“I don’t think so,” Daniel said, all worried.Without wasting other second, Daniel stood up and walked up directly to the door after all, he was the man in that house were a woman with her son lived. They were too helpless and he knew that from the mere instant he walked into the little space they called home. Surprisingly, Rebecca stood up as well, taking a spot behind her son’s chair like she was trying to protect him from all the danger that could enter as soon as Daniel opened the door. Finally, after Daniel’s look to Rebecca, he opened the door. Rebecca ha

PART ONE: THE LOVE OF A MOTHER CHAPTER FIFTEENPunch behind punch, blood coming from the corners of the lips of the two men, more blood here and there and suddenly, the men that had come with the landlord were laying on the ground with no strength, afraid of being punched to death if they got up. Daniel was managing very well the situation that made the men fear even if they had been punched all over their bodies, surely there was no part in their bodies that could have saved from the big hands and the fury of Daniel. After all, the landlord had come alone. Not even he had brought an army would have been enough to stop Daniel.Nosebleeds, the punches from one to the other continued until Daniel was the first one to make the men lay down on the same ground he had stepped with their gross feet. It was until the same Daniel had had enough when he decided to stop.“Now, get out of here!” ordered Daniel, before throwing the last punch to the man he was seeing under him.The man tossed, cl

PART ONE: THE LOVE OF A MOTHER CHAPTER SEVENTEENOn the floor of that horrible space three people were sitting there, the seriousness in Rebecca's and Daniel's face reigned at that moment, the only one who seemed to laugh at just remembering how Daniel had punched those men was Rud. All of a sudden a smile was drawn on his little face. “What's so funny?" Rebecca asked. Rud looked at her. He was a cute boy. “Nothing.”“I think we have to prepare our things to leave now!" Daniel said, getting up from the floor. “Why?" Rebecca did the same. “Do you think they'd love to have us living here after what happened?"“Daniel, you shouldn't have...”“But I did and we're in this together so, let's get our things."Needless to say Rebecca felt the worst person in the world. She had provoked that, none of them had a space to spend the night. They had no money, they had nothing and the worst part had been where Rebecca dragged Daniel to it. She didn't know anything about him and for the first

PART ONE: THE LOVE OF A MOTHERCHAPTER NINETEENIt wasn't necessary to talk about what happened later, fir the first time Daniel, Rebecca and the little Rud were enjoying together. They had so much since, of course that space couldn't be compared to any cheap department because they needed so much more to live like that. That was the first night Rebecca and Daniel were sharing opinions, comments making them look like a real family. That was the first time Rebecca felt supported and protected, her son couldn't stop jumping here and there and when the dinner Daniel had brought, they sat on the ground happily. That beautiful space didn't have any more aside from the two beds, old curtains and a little stove that worked with electricity. A simple place Rud and Rebecca were enjoying after what they had, after the dangerous people they had to see every day. “Mom, why didn't you cook?" Rud asked, bitting the piece of bread in the bag. “Well, we didn't have so much time, this is a new ho
