Chapter 13 - The Rare Name

If this was a drama, everyone by now could see her sweating bullets all over her face. Thankfully she wasn't the type that sweats easily. The nervousness could only be seen on her lips. The pale was clearly visible.

"No, don't joke around. Move." She swallowed hard, trying to put every remaining courage she had. Her push didn't affect him at all, even though he was thin, that man's strength was greater than her. As he moved closer, Camelia's chest moved up and down. She was afraid, her legs, she could feel they weakened.

"Did I look like I'm joking? You flirt with everyone as much as you want, I heard that man say it just now. You played with my heart." Instead of an angry reaction he smiled and the smile gave goosebumps behind her neck.

"I said I'm sorry, I did smile at everyone. It doesn't mean I have feelings for every person that I did. I didn't play with your heart, you misunderstand me!" Her voice was shaky as she looked around, hoping someone would walk out from the toilet.

He jeered then moved his face closer. Camelia tried her best to push him away every time he came near her and try every way to get out of there. To make sure Camelia couldn't escape, he locked her on the left and right with his hands.

She clenched her shaking hands, thinking that the lecture hall was not that far, she should try screaming for help. Alexander or anyone might hear her voice. The moment she wanted to open her mouth to shout, someone stepped out from the toilet.

"Help!" She instantly shouted. Her eyes were full of hope.

Ralf also turned to the girl that just came out. He sent a glare when the girl stopped, maybe thinking to help. "Continue walking, it's just a lover quarrel."

"No!" Camellia shouted quickly after she heard that. "Please…I don't know him." She tried to hold out her hand hoping the girl grabbed it.

"I said, continue walking or if you want to change places with her I wouldn't mind." Ralf tried to frighten the girl. He believed the rate for success was high.

"No, no, no…" She was short on breath when she saw the girl slowly moving. Thinking screaming was the only solution that she had, she shouted on the top of her lungs, "Alexander! Help!"

Only managed to scream those two words, Ralf covered her mouth immediately. She saw the girl run off, before her eyes began welling. What should she do?

"Now, where are we?" He continued talking and acted like nothing happened. "Ah, kiss. Shall we?"

"Huh!" She was utterly speechless. She looked down before swiftly raising her hand and smacking the back of his head, "crazy bastard."

His expression was epic. He didn't expect that. Holding the back of his head, he sniggered, "Do you like it harsh?"

"Aacckkk!! My hand, my hand, my hand!" Ralf suddenly screamed in pain.

"How about you? Do you like it harsh?" Twisting Ralf's hand to his back he glared at him.

Alexander who was now standing at their side, glowing in Camellia's eyes. There were a few strands of hair that fell off on his forehead, maybe because he was running as fast as he could just now when one girl came knocking on the lecture hall.

"I told you before, to not show your ugly face in front of her!" The moment he let go of Ralf's hand, Alexander's hand went straight to the neck and pushed him right to the wall. "Should I make you remember?"

Ralf tapped on Alexander's hand as he was choking him and he found it hard to breathe. "Sir…" Helpless, the choked was tightened on his neck and he couldn't remove it.

Camellia, who lost strength on her legs tried her best to stand and went to stop Alexander.

"Sir…" She held the hand that was choking Ralf but he didn't react, it seemed like he couldn't hear anything. "Alex, stop!"

Hearing the shout from Camellia, he glanced at her before he let Ralf go.

While taking a deep breath, Ralf flinched as Alexander's hand raised.

"This mouth?" Alexander asked, pointing to Ralf's lips. He heard Ralf's question just now and he was also proud seeing how she smacked the back of Ralf's head. "Don't you want it anymore?" The sudden slap reached Ralf's mouth after the question, he was shocked and stepped back on impulse.

He reflexively covered his face with both of his hands when Alexander put up his hand looking like he was ready to land a smack on his head.

Pakkk!

His hands were not enough to cover his head. Alexander's slap still managed to reach the back of his head. The pain from the first slap was still there, but then another one landed on his head, then another one until Alexander was satisfied.

"Since the warning didn't work with you, let's just go to the police station." Alexander pulled him and hugged him tight around his shoulder before dragging him away.

Ralf tried to hold his stance and he was struggling. The difference in height and body made him get dragged and humiliated. "Let me go!"

As they almost reached the main hallway, Ralf reached into the back pocket of his jeans and pulled out a flick knife and stabbed Alexander's hand.

The moment Camellia realised Ralf pulled the knife, she wanted to warn Alexander but it happened in a flash that she ended up seeing blood start to seep into his sleeve and in chaos, Ralf managed to run off from there.

"Are you okay?" Panicked, she almost cried. "Wait, let me ask for help." She looked around and wanted to run to the nearby lecture hall before Alexander stopped her.

"I'm okay, nothing much."

"No!" Her hands shaking, she tried to hold the hand that was bleeding but stopped. She couldn't as she was afraid of seeing the blood trickling at the end of his finger. She gulped, "Let's go to the hospital."

"I said this is nothing." Alexander sure, the stab was not that deep.

She did not listen to him, she went to the other side and held his hand to bring him to her car.

He held his smile. To the fact, there was nothing wrong with his legs, he could walk just fine without her holding it in his hand but seeing how cute her reaction was, he just let it go.

After he had finished suturing the wound, the doctor explained what he should do to take care of the wound.

"Girlfriend?" The doctor asked before smiling. He saw how panicked the girl explained to him about the whole situation and guessed that she must be someone special.

"No Damien, my student." Damien was his brother's best friend and he was quite close with him. So by now, he was sure the news about him getting hurt already reached Adam's ears.

"Well, that's all I guess." Didn't want to prolong the conversation, Damien clasped his fingers together, "Just make sure to take care of the wound or it will get infected. I'm sure you don't want to see me again." He grinned.

The moment he stepped out of the door, his phone rang. Answering the call, his eyes focused on the girl that was sitting on the chair looking down at the floor.

"What happened?" The anxiousness in Adam's voice could be heard as he was asking.

"Your fault."

"And how is that my fault again?" Adam was annoyed. He was still mad with what happened last night and now this.

"I asked you to do something to that guy and you did nothing. This is how all this happened."

"Which guy?" He was confused and didn't get the meaning.

"The stalker, the one that I told you to settle."

"Ahhh…that one. How do I know about him? You gave me details that are too vague."

"What details do you want? His name is Ralf. You can get all the details in a minute if you want!" He was irritated, if Adam took the action, that man might not dare to do anything anymore.

"So, the girl, is she okay?"

"Yes, thankfully." He spared another glance at her.

"I will check him out. Can I know the girl's name?"

"What for?" He didn't find knowing her name to have any relation with this.

"Just because, it might help to speed up my search." He lied, obviously. He just wanted to check the girl out. The girl that shook the hell of Alexander.

"Camellia…" He blurted the name without much thinking.

"Camellia?"

"Yes, Camellia." Alexander confirmed it.

"Wait there, I'm coming." Adam felt the urge of confirming this himself. Camellia's name is quite rare. Well at least for him and his family, Sophie Camellia was the only person they knew with the name of Camellia.
