Brutal Prince

On the anniversary of her mother’s death, Aida drives to her family’s home and plays piano for her father, Enzo. When she tells him about the incident with Zajac, Enzo expresses his concern. When her brothers arrive, the family spends the afternoon together.

Returning to the Griffin mansion, Aida finds Callum speaking with Jack Du Pont. Enraged at the sight of the man who injured her brother, Aida and Jack face off in the kitchen. Jack hurls insults at Aida, who seizes a gun from his jacket. Callum intervenes, but the gun discharges, grazing his arm. Callum rebukes Jack for speaking disrespectfully to Aida and dismisses him. Upstairs, Callum undresses Aida, ties her hands with her shirt, and spanks her for shooting him, awakening a new kind of arousal in Aida, who discovers she likes the emerging submissive-dominant elements of their sexual relationship.

The next morning, Callum wakes up reflecting on the fact that he’s developing genuine feelings for Aida. His thoughts are interrupted by Aida’s phone ringing—it’s Dante calling to tell them that the Gallo/Griffin joint construction project has been destroyed in an arson attack. At the site, they find millions of dollars in damage and a charred boar’s head—Zajac’s signature.
