I changed my Penname from NekoiiXx to Nerro, just to clear up any confusion.
Yes, I participated in NaNoWriMo and thus I did not update. Sorry about that delay and thank you for your patience! I'm sure some people have dropped the story by now LOL. In the end I didn't finish NaNo because of schoolwork overload as well as -cough- procrastination -cough-
If anyone has any questions regarding the plot/situation I'll answer them without spoiling anything (with your penname attached) every following update at the end of the chapter, so don't hesitate to ask…BECAUSE I LOVE YOU ALL (what a creep).
Thank you for supporting this story as always and thank you for praising Elsa :)
Warning for Oocness, I try my best. Did not copy or plagiarize in any way.
Chapter 28
The Malicious Side of HIM
Elsa counted in her head. 3…2…1…
"How could you be so reckless? I asked you to peacefully collect the money and instead you go around picking fights? What if your bluff was found out? What would you do then?" Dino scolded her.
"Bluff? It's not…" Elsa began to protest, but she held her tongue and stomped on her pride – just a little, if she did anymore she wouldn't have any pride left after all the pride-killing she'd been doing lately.
Unfortunately for her, Dino was not nearly as deaf as she thought and it only made him angrier. "Elsa, being in the mafia is not just about being intimidating. If anything goes wrong the family is at risk too! I told you twice it isn't a lenient world!"
I know what I'm doing. She pouted, but lowered her head and let her bangs fall forward to hide her shame.
Man…she blew it big time. Her first job too. Was there ever a time when he could praise her and not find her a complete nuisance? Dino's lecture did not end there, he explained to her to rules of Cosa Nostra and clearly distinguished between the mafia she saw in movies and reality. He then gave her a fair warning and demoted her from a collectors job to a messengers job, he figured an office job would be too harsh of a punishment. Elsa took it cool, although her fun was short-lived, she tolerated it and gave him a glum nod like the dog she was. She kept her groans and complaints to herself, she had to remember if she was going to fulfill her promise she would need Discipline. Discipline.
The lack of reaction from Elsa made Dino worry, "Look, I didn't want to have to do this…"
"I'm cool with it, I understand." Elsa rolled her eyes, she patted him on the back for reassurance, "Anything you say, Boss."
Dino twitched. Yes, it was his turn to twitch. Not Elsa, but Dino. Was she not going to bite back at him? She wasn't being herself with him at all, and Dino liked to have an honest connection with every one of his subordinates. She was treating him like a complete stranger, and he didn't like it because he was (truthfully) very fond of her as a human being – not quite enough to return her feelings, though. But he knew she was doing this to keep a distance from him, not because he was her boss, but because he forced her into this position, and he took a lot of guilt from it. Maybe he should have…no…he couldn't. It would be bad for both Yano and Elsa. Come to think of it, Yano was probably buzzing for him to come home by now.
"She's calling for you isn't she? You both must've racked up a pretty close relationship in such a short time." Elsa let out a hymn of chuckles Dino was not used to, it was hard to believe it didn't bother her one tiny bit, it had to upset her somehow, she was a very easily jealous person.
But he couldn't say that. "Yeah, I should be going. I'll let you finish the job…but civillyplease, until the end of the day. Promise me Elsa?"
She grinned, "Of course, Boss."
"Jeez, I'm never going to get used to this." He muttered out loud enough for her to hear. He reached over mess her hair as he'd always do, but as a thought came across his mind he stopped. Elsa looked puzzled at his hesitation. Dino let his arm slump to his side, he figured now would be the best time to drop this habit of his. Instead, he smiled sheepishly at her and gave an awkward pat on her shoulder. Elsa raised an eyebrow, what the hell was he doing?
"I…uh…" Dino stumbled with his words, "be careful…" he scratched his head.
It was quite amusing for her to see the behavioral changes when Elsa switched from being his fiancée to his follower. He was distancing himself from her wasn't he? She thought it was for the better anyway. Dino left with his men tagging along like faithful greyhounds. They all waved at Elsa (not including Dino) before jumping in their cars and zooming off. She smiled faintly as the sound of the engines faded into the distance. A wet feeling kissed along her arm. Oh dear, she wasn't crying was she? Elsa looked up at the darkened sky, thunder clapped and the rain began to fall.
Oh thank god.
Luciano and Elsa ran inside their own car for shelter, slamming the doors as they did.

Where is that Dino? Where the hell is that dope? I swear that pest is holding him up…I knew I should've extended my plane ticket…if he doesn't get back now my plan isn't going to work…what if he comes back with some bullcrap excuse? Yano nibbled on her thumb anxiously, her feet tapped against the floor like rapid gunfire. The plan was to euphemize Elsa—no actually it was to stir feelings of hatred between Dino and her – but it was a fleeting thought, as immoral as it was. Dino had to be home in exactly five minutes or else everything would not go according to—
"Yo. What are you doing?" Dino came in from the corridor, his hair was slightly damp from the pouring rain outside. Yano jumped in fright. He sat beside her on the cushiony sofa and slumped backwards.
"Eto…you're home!" Yano flung her arms around him. She nuzzled against the nape of his neck, her hair slithering behind his shoulder. Dino shuddered and held her back.
"Yano, what's wrong?"
"I missed you." She purred, stroking his hair and leaning in for passion between two lovers. He held his hands out like a wall, barricading her from moving closer.
"I think we should stop…"
She looked confused, why was he such a bitch about being intimate? They hardly ever kissed, and if they did she was usually the one taking initiative – did that not make her the man in the relationship? This was all wrong, she was meant to be the one being fought over, she was meant to be the one craved for. Yano climbed on top of him, her hands pawing his chest persistently. She arched her back in a feline stretch and straddled him. He tried to break free, she let her hair brush along his jaw, slithering up with erotic intentions; it sent gratifying shudders down his spine. She was so very, very enticing, her clear eyes inviting him, tempting him to take on the role as the predator. He felt shallow for even considering the thought, but what could a man do in this situation? His will as a gentleman was dwindling slowly and painfully.
Oh god this was really turning Dino on.
When did she become this…sensational. She cupped his chin in her hands and dove in for a snog. The sound of footsteps caused him to panic, but Yano kept on with her antics. Oh crap it was Elsa wasn't it? He just knew it was her…he could feel it. Nothing ever went right between him and Elsa, it was like fate had shot an arrow of disaster between them.
"Dino—I mean Boss? Where are you?" Elsa called, she then grumbled disjointedly under her breathe, "Stupid blond, can't do anything for himself…"
Dino held back a grin. This immediately was a turn off for Yano, she scrunched her nose irritatingly, but this was good, things were happening earlier than expected. She pulled her cardigan off. Dino was baffled, what on earth was she doing?
Her strap fell loose and slid down her shoulder. Dino pulled hastily pulled it back up, his face reddening.
"Boooooooss...hello?" Elsa neared the lounge.
With force, Yano pulled Dino's jacket off and let her fingers run through his hair. She licked at her lips and gave him a playful smirk. Whatever happened to the innocent girl he was dating? She'd completely lost her façade. Yano began tugging his shirt off, Dino grabbed her arm in attempt to stop her, she only looked at him with an annoyed frown.
"What's wrong?" She demanded.
"I'll ask you the same question!" He struggled to break free, careful not to hurt her in any way, but Yano would not give in that easily, she bit on the end of his shirt and began tearing it off with her hands. Dino gaped in horror and grabbed both her arms this time. "Yano what on earth are you doing?"
Elsa heard noises coming from the lounge a few doors down, she began pacing herself towards that direction. She murmured to herself, "Oh, there you are. Finally found you."
Yano did not look as if she was going to stop. Her face mimicked a drunken cat ready to pounce, would Dino's twenty-two years as a virgin seriously end on this day? He was about to be raped by a woman, mercy on him!
Having no free hands, Yano nudged her knee into a very delicate area – the crotch. This time, Dino was getting more than red, he was practically sweating beads, he had to push her back, things were going much too far. Oh but he couldn't…he could never hurt a woman…
"Ah! Dino!" Yano cried out, loud enough for it to echo out the room.
Elsa jumped in surprise. She froze for a second, not sure of what she had just heard.
"No not there…Ah!"
It was déjà vu. Elsa had witnessed something like this before…but when? Now was not the best time to be reminiscing distasteful memories. She crept up against the wall and snuck quickly down the corridor, waiting for another sound.
"Yes…nn…"
"Will you stop that?" A young man's voice broke in, one in which Elsa hoped not to hear.
"Okay…I'll do it your way…"
Elsa was struck with paralysis for a total of thirty seconds. Her realization of what was (supposedly) going on caused her to run at the speed of light with a flame of ferocity blazing in her gut. She hoped she was wrong, oh she hoped so! She skidded across the floor and came to a halt at the moving couch. Her bottom lids shimmered with budding tears as her eyes were scarred by the very scene in front of her. She did not know how it happened, she believed Dino was a good person…but obviously she was—
"Will you stop trying to pull my pants down?" Dino had somehow been rolled on his back and was being molested by Yano's greedy hands. She was all over him. She had somehow managed to rip his shirt off completely and was now looming over him as the dominant partner.
Elsa couldn't quite make out what was happening. Dino noticed her presence, and out of shock, leaped to his feet, causing Yano to fly off him and collide against the couch. He raised his arm defensively. "Els…believe me I had no intentions!"
"I can see that." She looked at him strangely. He was not as manly as she thought.
"Yano what were you thinking?" Dino yelled, his expression was oozing with obvious humiliation.
"Eto…I just wanted us to be closer…?" Yano had somehow managed to regain her timid posture. Her shy disposition had come back.
Dino looked fed-up. Which was a first for Yano, not for Elsa of course. He picked up his ripped shirt and his jacket and sighed. He turned to Elsa who was still standing there, looking stupidly at him. "What did you want? You got back early."
"Well…it began to rain and the stores were closed…" Elsa started, a little afraid of what to say, "I was going to tell you Luciano asked me to hand you this, he picked it up on the way in." She held out a parcel, wrapped in string and thick, colored plastic, and scotch tape. It was addressed to Dino, but it was not signed nor was there any indication of a return address on it. Dino took it from her, still flustered from being violated.
"Thanks." He looked at Yano with concern and a slight hint of anger at the same time. It was hard for him to let this incident go, but he didn't want to seem unreasonable, "Yano, I think you should stay here and cool down a little." He began to leave the room and gestured for Elsa to follow him.
"Wait, I'll come with you!" She squawked.
"No." He replied bluntly.
Elsa wondered why Yano was beginning to lose herself, she was usually very good at hiding her personality. She seemed a little…desperate? Not as strong as her feisty self from when she stole Dino away. Perhaps she was beginning to—or—no…it couldn't be. Elsa thought it was foolish, Yano was not capable of that, if she was then it'd be just too bizarre. Hell would have broken loose by the time that happened. She looked back and saw Yano pouting at the end of the couch, crossing her arms like a child, and looking just a bit…just a little bit heartbroken. Just a bit.
