Mia
After the discussion with Cameron, I quickly went home. I couldn't stop  thinking about The Godfrey. I searched for Jake when my father entered the kitchen. "Jake went to the bar. How was the office" He tapped the chair next to him as I quickly sat. "They miss you" We both laughed. "Tell me about The Godfrey" I asked.

"Wow i haven't heard about this name for years. Well firstly they are our business rivals. When we left Lockwood for Sam's treatment The Godfrey attacked at our Company. They stole information from the laboratory and took antibiotics and many viruses. When we came to know about it we didn't have any choice but to file case against them." He explained while working on his laptop.

"What about their company?" I asked grabbing an apple. "They have an import and export company. They deal with chemical products and drugs apparently.However they suffered a big lost and in order to save their Empire they started import and export of large amount of drugs and in order to do that they needed a quiet place and a successful company as bait." He said as it all started to make sense. "So they choose Lockwood as the quiet place and the Steel Empire as the bait." I lifted my eyebrows in shock.

"They took advantage of our incident with your brother and used our products and our power to make drugs and other chemical weapons and export it... When we started to realise it was too late. We got stuck and lost thousands of deals and contracts. Since then the empire is suffering" He said giving me a bunch of files. "Here take a look at these you'll understand more"

After that I went to the bar. Once there i searched for Jake worrying whether Nash kidnapped him again. I kept looking when I finally noticed him. "Hey where were you? I've been calling you like forever?...Jake are you ok? I walked to him. "Stop!" He said in a serious tone as he turned to me. He was angry and so sad. "What's wrong Jake?" I asked walking to him when he stopped me again. I was so scared that I stopped and stood still in a confused way.

"When were you going to tell me that you shot Cameron?" He asked waiting for me to answer. I stood ashamed of myself. Now I regret doing this.

"I'm sorry ok I know I shoul..." I said trying to calm him but he cut me. "In the morning I asked you what happened and you lied to my face" He explained. "Jake listen to me I messed up I get it but they kidnapped you" I defended myself. "How can they kidnap me when I was found few minutes later in the same house?" He asked standing in front of me in a furiously way.
"Who kidnapped me?" He asked. "Nash and Cameron " I cried.  "So what you shoot Cameron in his shoulder as if it was nothing." He snapped at me.

"WHAT DID YOU EXPECT ME TO DO JAKE? I WAS SCARED AND I THOUGHT I WOULD SCARED THEM" I shouted at him with tears running down my cheeks. "YOU COULD HAVE CALLED THE POLICE MIA NOT FUCKING SHOOT CAMERON. YOU COULD HAVE KILLED HIM. DAMN IT!!" He shouted back at me. I looked into his eyes. He was hurt and felt bad for shouting at me.
"This is not how things work Mia and you know it. What is going on with you?" He calmed down with tears in his eyes. "I'm really really sorry Jake I know I messed up and I disappointed you. What do you want me to do?" I stepped forward crying as I tried to touch him but he stepped back. I was shocked when he did that.

He turned back crying. I wanted to hugged him and tell him the truth about me and Cameron but right now he was so angry. I was trying so hard not to break down. "Go home Mia!" He said with a cracked voice. "Jake.." I was about to hugged him and apologied to him when he pushed me off verbally. "Please" He cried.

I stepped back and ran outside the bar when I bumped into a hard chest. "Hey watch where you..." I looked up to see Cameron. He quickly notice that I was crying. I wiped off my tears and continued walking hoping he don't do anything. But I was wrong. "Wait are you ok did something happened love?" He cupped my face with many difficulties. He was still in pain. Maybe I shouldn't have shoot him.
"Can you please mind you own business. Stop acting as if you care!" I snapped at him angrily as I cried. I couldn't stop. He stepped back with his hands in the air as he looked so worried. I hide my face in my hands crying as I ran to my car. I sat inside and start the engine.

Cameron
I kept standing in front of the bar wih my bodyguards as I watched Mia got in her car. She was crying uncontrollably. She was so weak and sad. I knew it was my fault. I should have told her. It's true I am jealous of them being together but in order to have her I am hurting her.

"Matt can you make sure Mia gets home safely" I ordered my bodyguard as he followed her car discreetly.

I then entered to find Jake walking out. He was so angry and furious. They had a terrible  fight I could tell.

Mia
I sat resting my back against my bed. I brought my legs to my chest and hiding my face in my arms sobbing.

"Stop crying..stop crying" I kept on saying.
Dream
I was dancing with him in the balcony. I missed being near him. I missed those brown eyes.
"I know what I'm going to do is bad but I wanted to do it since I saw you at the funeral" I jumped and kissed him.
He kissed back and carried me in the kitchen.

I removed his shirt revealing his abs and hot body.He continued to kiss me passionately and it was so good.
"Fuck I've missed you so much" He said as I smiled.
He moved his hand to removed my dress.we continued to kiss and he kissed my neck roughly make sure he leave a red mark.

Then EVERYTHING stopped when I heard a familiar voice. "Mia"

It was Jake. How can I do this to him?

He was so broken and stepped back as he walked away. I quickly pushed Cameron away and ran after Jake when all of a sudden I heard a loud gun shot. I stopped running to see Jake continued running. I was so scared and confused. Who got shot? I looked around and turned to see Cameron. He was looking at me all scared and in pain.

"Cam" I gave him a confused look when I realised. Cameron got shot. He had his hand pressed on his chest as he fell down and closed his eyes....
