Alex, your father was a leader in the Mafia he was very anxious about traitors. One day, one of his men gave him some evidence pointing to you, his child possibly being a traitor. He had them put you in the torture room and tie you to a chair where they beat you for a couple of hours. Eventually, one of his men pulled him to the side and showed him it wasn't you that the evidence was about but one of his other men that got killed that day on a mission
Alex demanded that everyone leave. Once they did, he walked up to you, who was covered in bruises cuts and even some cigarette burns. He was crying as he untied you and knelt down in front of you, grabbing your hands and kissing them and begging "It's okay, baby. Daddys here.. daddy's sorry baby.. you can hit daddy... you can.. come on, hit me.."
