Chapter 1 The proposal

Balalaika the leader of Hotel Moscow was a woman of power. She held the title of the most powerful mafia in Russia and Roanapur. She and her men were trained in the military with enough training to win world war three should it ever occur. However like any powerful empire she also had an enemy that was just as feared as her if not more. A mafia from the states that slowly started to enter her territory.

She was brought out of her thoughts when someone entered the room. He was dressed in blue jeans black shoes dressed in a blue and white striped shirt with a black leather jacket. He had white skin brown hair and purple eyes. This person also appeared to be 25 years old who made Balalaika smile.

"Well, I wasn't expecting you to come home so soon." Balalaika said with a smile that only a mother could have.

"What I can't come home to my mother?" The man said with a grin making her giggle before pulling him into a hug.

"Oh please honey I would be disappointed if you didn't come by." Balalaika said to her son. Jonathan Reznov or Reznov as he preferred to be called was Balalaika's only child. How this happened of course would be simple would be a drunken one night stand with one of her former military comrades that ended up knocking her up. A good friend who regretfully died in combat. She gave birth to him and raised him making sure he would be a perfect heir for her empire.

"So what brings you by so suddenly? Not that I'm complaining but you usually call ahead." Balalaika said pulling out a Cigar.

"You know that Mafia you said thats been causing you trouble the last few months?" Reznov asked.

"Of course. I'm almost afraid we're gonna have to leave if things don't settle down." Balalaika said.

"Well while I was in the states I happened to run into one of them. One of the sons of the head family. Pretty nice guy actually compared to the brutes they hire." Reznov said.

"And?" Balalaika asked.

"Well, believe it or not they don't actually want to fight us. They're grunts are just being morons and when I told them what was happening they were not happy. And they have a way to stop any blood shed between us." Reznov said taking out a flask that belonged to his father.

"Really?" Balalaika asked with a smile. Any ally that could go head to head with her group of soldiers would be a great ally. "And just what are they proposing exactly?" Balalaika asked.

"You remember how ancient Kingdoms used to secure alliances with enemy nations?" Reznov asked.

"Of course they sealed them with...Arranged marriages." Balalaika said pausing. "They want to seal an alliance with marriage?" Balalaika asked in surprise. While some countries still practiced it to this day it was a very old thing that wasn't really practiced between enemies anymore. "You're not seriously considering marrying someone..." Balalaika tried to say.

"Not me. The head of the family has two twin daughters but they're only five years old. Their third son however though on the other hand who I met is single. If I recall correctly you had someone who worked for you that was like a sister. Am I right?" Reznov asked making her think before a grin appeared on her face.

"Hmm. Well, she certainly is very close. But I don't think she would go with it. Not without a good reason." Balalaika said.

"Give her one. Besides how can even you of all people pass this up?" Reznov asked making her smile.

"Well...I suppose there can't be any drawbacks to this deal." Balalaika said smoking her cigar.

Later

"I'M TO BE FUCKING WHAT!" A thunderous roar of Revy yelled while Rock and Benny cowered in fear since they've never seen her like this. Balalaika had an amused look on her face while her son was cleaning his ears.

"Could you repeat that? I didn't quite catch that." Reznov said.

"Why do I have to get married to some dickwad! And who the fuck is he!" Revy yelled pointing at Reznov.

"Well, for starters you and I are very close which makes you family and second this is my son Jonathan Reznov." Balalaika said making her blink before looking at him and then her and repeat.

"I don't see the fucking similarities." Revy said making him chuckle.

"Well, I take more after my father. And I happen to know your soon to be husband. He's a great guy and actually is a pretty cool badass. Besides if you don't agree to this the whole place will become a war zone with you and your friends caught in the middle. I don't think you despite your attitude want that now do you?" Reznov asked making her growl.

"Who exactly are these guys anyway?" Rock asked.

"This Mafia rivals Hotel Moscow in almost every way. Influence, power, money, soldiers you name it. Only difference is though this one is more spread out than ours. Which is why this alliance would help us out. Besides Revy think of the benefits of being married to someone who's family is so powerful and rich." Balalaika said making her grumble.

"I don't even know this guy. You're asking me to marry someone who all I know could be a fucking sick pervert." Revy said.

"Hardly. I know this guy rather well. Despite my connection he didn't even care and offered me a place to stay till I returned home. Besides I think you'll change your mind once you actually meet him in Miami. Nice view of the beach amazing house. Trust me you will not regret this." Reznov said making her frown.

"If this guy turns out to be some sick fuck I'm killing him." Revy said through grit teeth before stomping out to back up her things.

"Very nice. I suggest you all pack up as well since you'll be leaving tomorrow morning to head for their home in Miami." Balalaika said before Benny and Rock left while Dutch stayed behind.

"You know your playing a dangerous game making Revy the Bride." Dutch said.

"Maybe but I think this will work out perfectly fine. Besides she could use a man in her life." Balalaika said smoking a Cigar.
