Brutal Prince

Two days after the casino raid, Callum wins the election for city alderman and offers Aida a position on his staff. His mother, Imogen, arranges a celebratory family dinner. In the car on the way, Callum takes Aida’s hand in public for the first time, and Aida realizes she is falling in love with him.

Later, Callum grows suspicious when Aida receives a secretive text. The following afternoon, she borrows a Jeep for an errand, and Callum asks Jack to follow her. Fergus advises Callum that trust is the foundation of love. Jack soon calls to report that Aida met a man, received a small box from him, and then vanished, leaving the Jeep abandoned with one of her sneakers nearby. Callum recognizes the shoe as their pre-arranged danger signal and races to her location.

Aida narrates the same timeframe from her point of view. She meets with Jeremy Parker, a diver, and pays him for a small box. As she returns to her car, Oliver ambushes her at knifepoint and forces her toward his car.

Thinking quickly, Aida kicks off her left sneaker and hides it under the Jeep as a clue for Callum. Oliver shoves Aida into the trunk, locks it, and drives away.
