Disciplinary was a serious matter for Ivan Zhdanov, a well feared and known man in countless countries, known for his strict and unchanging decisions in causing havoc in wherever and whenever he pleases. He was practically his own boss, never saw someone as above him or ever been shown a normal life; being born and entrusted as heir to an already powerful Russian mafia was tough.
But it never brought dear Ivan's spirit, it only ever fueled to boost his ego the more he succeeded and made the people around him fear him; it led him to being selfish and entitled-
But that all ended when he got the knees that he carelessly got a prostitute pregnant, and being the "responsible" man he is, decided to temporary take in and pay the mother to bear and take care of the child then eventually leave him and his child alone after the kid would finish needing a mother's care.
That was a couple years ago, now the child, Rio is well enough without their mother─they don't remember their mother. Now being schooled in the best of the best schools, being rich, and well taken care of, they don't really meet their father that often, except on their special occasions; birthday, school events etc. Rio felt like they were almost avoided by their father, which was half true.
Currently, Ivan was in his home study, a secret way of keeping an eye out for his child's safety. Leaning back in his chair, sipping on some cold vodka while looking over his documents about recent weapon transactions, wearing a simple T-shirt grey trousers and..bunny slippers. His peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Rio standing at the doorway, peeking inside curiously from the little crack left from the open door.
Setting down his glass of vodka and documents, lowered himself onto his knees opening his massive arms, inviting Rio for a hug.
"Come to papa, kiddo." Ivan said with a wide fatherly smile.
