Novels by Krystal Belle

After Alice’s quiet but heavy departure from the Sanders mansion, Kelvin wasted no time. As soon as he got into his bedroom, he pulled out his phone and sent a message to Anita. “Alice a finally gone. Grandma's verdict was the annulment of our marriage and Alice has just left the mansion for good” It didn’t take long for Anita to respond. Seconds later, she called him, her voice bursting with barely-contained excitement. “She’s really gone?” “Yes,” Kelvin said flatly. “She just left.” On the other end, Anita let out a triumphant gasp. “Oh my God, Kelvin! Finally! I can’t believe it. She’s out of your life at last! Our of our lives.” Her joy echoed through the phone, but Kelvin didn’t return it. Still, he allowed her to speak. Anita was thrilled. That was the news she had long waited for. No more hiding. No more watching from the sidelines while Alice, the “nobody from nowhere,” walked beside Kelvin in public, bore his name, slept in his house. Now, the path was finally cle

The next morning, everyone was present in the Sanders mansion's grand living room. Grandma Janet, Kelvin, Alice and Daniel. Grandma Janet was seated poised in her favourite chair. Her silver hair was neatly pinned, her hands folded on her lap, her eyes cold, unreadable. Gone was the warmth, the soft grandmotherly glow. In its place sat a woman of steel — a matriarch prepared to deliver judgment. She had called for them urgently. And both Alice and Daniel had wondered what the urgent matter was, unlike Kelvin, who was fully aware of what was about to happen. Alice had no idea what awaited her. Her brows furrowed in confusion as she took in the brief silence in the room after everyone was seated. Grandma Janet’s expression had told her that something was very, very wrong. Grandma Janet didn't go through the long speech way. She instantly demanded for Kelvin's phone, and when he had given it to her, she raised the phone to both Alice and Daniel revealing the picture of both of

The event finally wound down under the cool embrace of night. Guests slowly dispersed, laughter fading into the distance, leaving only the soft rustling of leaves and the dying hum of classical music echoing from the speakers. Alice kept to herself during the ride home. She sat beside Grandma Janet in the back seat, replying only when spoken to, her mind still battling Daniel’s words and the emotions left in the wake of their accidental kiss. Kelvin sat in the front passenger seat, silent and tense. He had noticed Alice’s sudden change in demeanor at the event. She had suddenly become withdrawn, distant — her usual spark dulled beneath layers of thought. As the Sanders' car pulled into the grand driveway of their estate, the house lit up like a quiet palace, the family finally home after a long evening. Staff moved about, gathering bags. Grandma Janet, after complaining about how tired she was, bade them goodnight and retired to her bedroom. Just as Kelvin loosened his tie and

The moment Grandma was out of earshot, Alice let out a soft, private sigh—half relief, half giddy panic. Her phone vibrated again. Heart skipping, she opened the message to see a single laughing emoji from Daniel. He’d seen her flustered. Alice shook her head, biting back a laugh of her own. She looked up and caught Daniel still watching her with that infuriatingly amused, yet quietly intense look on his face. She typed back. Alice: "It's not funny, Daniel. And stop looking at me like that. People will start to suspect something." Seconds later, his reply came. Daniel: "Let them. You’re the only beautiful thing in this whole event worth watching." Her blush returned, fierce and hot. She pressed a hand to her cheek, trying to cool the fire building there, trying not to smile too much, trying not to fall just a little harder. But it was already happening. Then his message came again, the familiar vibration drawing Alice’s attention back to her phone. Daniel: “What wou

Kelvin had no choice but to go home with Alice that moment. He went after her with hastened steps and caught up with her just as she was about to enter the car. Alice noticed his presence but said nothing as they both entered and the driver drove off into the city. The soft hum of the engine filled the silence, the only sound breaking the stillness inside the sleek black car. Streetlights spilled golden patches of light onto the windshield as the car glided through the quiet night, away from the glittering chaos of Mr. Raphael’s birthday party. Alice's profile was bathed in the gentle glow of her phone. Her fingers danced lightly over the screen, and every now and then, a small, genuine smile tugged at her lips. The kind of smile that lingered in Kelvin's mind, making him confused. The smile wasn't forced or cold. It was real, coming from the depths of her heart. He glanced at her from the corner of his eye. That smile again. It burned something in his chest—an odd twist of

Kelvin knew he had to go on with Anita’s plan — at least, that’s what he kept telling himself. Even as doubt tugged at the edge of his thoughts, he reminded himself of the goal: get Alice out of the picture without being the villain in Grandma Janet’s eyes. Anita had handed him a path, a clean exit, and it made perfect sense on paper. So why did it feel like betrayal? That was part of the deal. But it felt like a betrayal of something inside himself, something he hadn’t fully acknowledged. Still, Kelvin contacted a professional private investigator to follow and monitor Alice and gather every incriminating evidence against her should she be seeing someone. Kelvin gave him every needed information about Alice. The plan was already in motion. Alice would be watched. And if she gave him any reason — any slip, any sign — he would use it. Not because he wanted to, but because he had to. Or so he kept telling himself. ________ While that was on, he had to get ready for Mr. Rap

It was time. Everything was set according to their plans. Amor's army-trained men had scouted the location with the help of that same tiny, undetectable drone and the men were able to locate important spots and entry into the building.The building was a fancy bungalow situated somewhere along the borders of the city, quite far from the main town. The surrounding was deserted and only few abandoned and half demolished buildings were in sight. Alexander drove there with the evidence and alone as Sophia had demanded and was allowed in through the gate by Sophia's armed men. He was directed on where to part his convertible, which he did and them came down. The armed men searched him thoroughly to be sure he wasn't with any arms, wires of any sort, or cameras and then, they escorted him into the house and led him past the empty room, which was supposed to be the living room, through a corridor and into another room, where Sophia and her father were seated on two dinning chairs at the rou

The room was silent. It had been that way for about three hours. Everyone was present in Bella's living room waiting for Sophia's call. Jeremy has been gone for more than twelve hours and with no where to start, they were earnestly waiting for the kidnapper to call and place their demands."Why won't she call already?" Bella was angry and getting frustrated. She just paced round the living room."I sware, if anything happens to me son, I'll hunt Sophia down" She cursed angrily."Darling, relax" Amor spoke to her from the sofa where she sat. "That woman will not hurt Jeremy since she wants to get Invicta. Maybe she is trying to make a full proof plan before calling. Let's wait for her call""That's what I am waiting for" Bella said and continued pacing."Why don't you sir down?" Amor asked her"I'm okay this way" Bella replied.Time was gradually passing by and Sophia had not still called. Alexander was seriously holding in his anger. A glance at him and one could see his bloody eyes a

Sophia and her father made the plans for Jeremy's abduction that night before Sophia returned home. According to their plan, they would spend the next day, monitoring every move Bella and her son would make and then the day after, Jeremy would be successfully abducted. This was for them to be very sure before launching any attack and endangering themselves. Sophia said nothing to Alexander after she returned home that night. Alexander also ignored her presence. Things seemed to be drawing to the end. Alexander could see a life without the troubles of Sophia and her father drawing near and Sophia could see the whole of Invicta becoming hers. Two antagonizing plans of which only one can emerge victorious. Alexander held onto the faith that good will always triumph over evil and he strongly believed so.Alexander was thinking, as he laid on the bed. He had not told his parents about what was going on and he knew that he had to tell them. The problem was how to tell them without Sophia's

Amor's men were able to crack the accounts and they sent all the findings to Amor. It was during the weekend get together for the family, with Christine that Amor revealed the findings. The Michaels were in fact, the dangerous drug cartel terrorising the country. That was how they were able to sustain their dead empire. Bella was shocked and immediately forwarded the message to Alexander.*****The Grandes were having dinner when Alexander's phone chimed and he picked up his phone to read the message Bella had sent him. Sophia had her suspicious eyes on him. With the shocked expression that lasted on his face for a split second, Sophia knew that he was up to something. That message definitely had something to do with her. She was sensitive to remove her gaze from Alexander the very moment he wanted to look at her, just after he had finished reading the message. That gesture confirmed her suspicion. Alexander had something against her and she was immediately anxious. The paperwork was

Bella was stunned by what she was hearing. Her mother was plagued with cervical cancer and was near her death. Tears rolled down her eyes. Bella was no longer sure if she still hated her mother or was pained that she was suffering in sickness and would soon die."How?" Bella managed asked."I don't know....I think it's a punishment for my wrongs" Amor said.Bella felt very bad. That moment she dropped all her anger and hatred and stood up to sit beside her mother. She gave her a long hug in tears before releasing her."I forgive you mother" Bella said."Thank you sweetheart" Amor said, touching Bella cheek lovingly.After enjoying that affectionate moment, Bella spoke;"I'm sure there's a way to cure this.....this cancer thing. It's just money and I can borrow money from someone....." She quickly looked at her father, then back to her mother, "We'll take you to India, where I hear that they are good in medicine. You'll be fine mother, you won't die" "Hey!" Amor called softly, "I've t

Alexander was relaxing in his favourite place, the garden, with some refreshments. The evening was cool and enticing. As he relaxed, he thought of Bella once again, the times they had spent in the garden. It was very beautiful, every moment he had spent with her. He would have her again, he assured himself and took a bite of his snacks.His phone rang and he answered it;"Hey Duke, what do you have for me?" he asked the caller."Nothing much Alex. These accounts you sent me are very very tight. I can't crack them. I've been trying but all seems futile." Duke replied over the phone.That was not the news Alexander wanted to hear."But there's something you can do, definitely" Alexander pleaded"I really need these accounts to be cracked. It's very urgent and very important for me. Surely you must have a way....I.....I'm ready to pay to get it done." Alexander added."Alright Alex. I'll have it sent to a guy I know....and let's see if he can get through it" Duke replied him."Thanks a l
