Kdrama Signal

As my due date approached, a massive discrepancy surfaced in the Galante family's arms accounts. The leadership made a swift decision. They sent me, Sophia Vitale, the Don's wife, the woman everyone claimed had nothing better to do, to personally inspect the armory and verify the inventory. I believed it was a routine check. I never imagined my husband's godsister, Monica Leone, would use it as cover to blow up the entire armory. The explosion was deafening. Fire ripped through the sky. Concrete collapsed around me, crushing my body as a searing pain tore through my abdomen. I did not call my husband on his highest-priority private line. Instead, I sent a distress signal to my father. In my previous life, the moment the explosion occurred, I had used that same priority channel to call my husband. The child had survived. Monica had been obliterated in the blast. My husband had claimed he did not blame me. He had said Monica was an outsider and that an heir mattered more. He had spared no expense, hiring elite obstetric specialists to monitor me day and night. He had told me to stay calm and wait for delivery. Then, on the day I went into labor, he personally locked me and the baby inside an abandoned warehouse drenched in gasoline and burned us alive. "If you hadn't deliberately delayed, she wouldn't have died. Do you really think playing the innocent victim could fool me? Dream on," he said. "You like playing with fire so much? Fine. I'll let you experience her despair yourself." When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the armory, at the exact moment of the explosion.

Without my knowledge, Aileen—the daughter of Carlson Green’s first love—secretly lured my five-year-old daughter, Lena, deep into the Wolfsbane Forest. She told Lena there was treasure hidden in the forest. When a distress signal came from the forest, I rushed there with Carlson and the rescue team. The wolfsbane's poison spread silently, making it harder for Lena to breathe. She lay weak in the grass, her face pale, her heartbeat slowing down. Aileen, meanwhile, was sprawled on the path beside the wolfsbane. She only had a few scratches on her knees, but she was crying loudly. "Help me! It hurts so much!" I thought Carlson, the Alpha of the Moonshadow Pack and Lena’s father, would run into the forest to check on his own daughter. But he didn’t. Instead, he bent down, scooped Aileen into his arms, comforting her with care. His eyes were full of worry. "It’s okay now, Daddy’s here." I ran forward, my voice shaking. "Carlson! Lena is still in the wolfsbane grass! I can feel her breathing fading! Come with me to find her!" He only said calmly, "Lena is wearing my Moonstone Crystal. It protects her from wolfsbane. She will be fine. Aileen needs care and treatment more." The rescue vehicle left, taking Aileen and Carlson with it. I ran into the wolfsbane field and found Lena. She weakly tugged my hand. "Mom, don’t cry. It doesn’t hurt at all." "Daddy will come save me after he saves Aileen." Then she closed her eyes. And never breathed again. Even on the day of her funeral, Lena never got to see her father come to save her. Carlson Green, a life for a life. You, Aileen, and her mother will pay back everything you did to Lena—I’ll make you repay it a thousand times over.

Crimson Bloomed: Ascend Post - Apocalyptic Horror | Action | Yuri Harem | Coming - of - Age | Rated R | Mature Content | Slow Burn The city looked like it had been devoured — chewed up by fire, time, and whatever came after — then spit back out in jagged pieces. Dead drones dangled from power lines like rusted ornaments. Neon signs flickered above fractured pavement, their broken scripts glitching into gibberish. Down the block, a half - melted smartcar burned slow, casting warped shadows across the skeletal remains of a coffee bar. Behind a crumpled tram car, someone crouched low, breath tight in her lungs. The shrieking hadn’t stopped. It came again — sharp, bone-deep, the kind of sound that latched onto your spine and refused to let go. She checked the signal jammer at her hip. Still blinking. Still active. Not for long. They were tracking her. She moved fast — boots silent over broken glass, slipping through the breach in an old laundromat’s wall. Her body moved from muscle memory now: slide through, duck left, over the washer, don’t look at the corpse slumped by the dryer. Out the back. Up the fire escape. On the rooftop, she halted. Not alone. Someone was already there — silhouetted against the bleeding sunset. Combat jacket. Short - cropped hair. Pulse rifle slung casually over one shoulder like it weighed nothing. Like this was just another rooftop, just another war. “Don’t move,” the voice snapped. She lifted her hands slowly. “I’m clean.” “Everyone says that.” “Scan me.” beat. Then the girl stepped forward, rifle still raised but gaze locked in. Dark eyes, sharp, searching — not just for weapons, but tells. Fear. Lies. She lowered the rifle half an inch. “You’re lucky you’re cute.” That wasn’t the line she expected.

Als der Kaiser angegriffen wurde, tröstete mein Gemahl, der Oberbefehlshaber der Kaiserlichen Wache, gerade seine Jugendliebe, die von ihm fortgelaufen war. Ich zündete die Signalleuchtkugel in meiner Hand nicht, sondern stellte mich mit meinem schwangeren Leib schützend vor den Kaiser und diente ihm als lebendiger Schild, um ihm zur Flucht zu verhelfen. Denn in meinem vergangenen Leben hatte ich die Signalleuchtkugel gezündet, woraufhin mein Gemahl seine Geliebte zurückließ und zur Rettung des Kaisers eilte. Für seine Verdienste wurde er daraufhin zum Grafen der Landesverteidigung ernannt, doch seine Geliebte geriet in eine Falle und kam noch am selben Tag ums Leben. Mein Gemahl sagte nichts, doch an dem Tag, an dem ich unser Kind zur Welt bringen sollte, ließ er mich in die Höhle der Tausend Bestien werfen. Mit einem Gesicht voller Schmerz fragte ich ihn nach dem Grund. Er warf mir nur einen kalten Blick zu: „Um Seine Majestät wimmelten die Wachen – warum sollte gerade ich zurückkehren? Sicherlich hattest du nur Macht und Reichtum im Sinn! Du hast absichtlich das Signal gegeben, um mich zurückzurufen!“ „Hättest du die Signalleuchtkugel nicht gezündet, wäre Sophie doch nicht gestorben! Das Leid, das sie ertrug, sollst du doppelt spüren!“ Am Ende wurde ich von unzähligen Bestien zerfleischt, und selbst das Kind in meinem Leib wurde verschlungen. Als ich die Augen wieder öffnete, befand ich mich am selben Tag – dem Tag des Attentats auf den Kaiser.

I’m trained to do one thing: kill. I was put into a school where the concepts of love and forgiveness were treated as weaknesses. When I graduated, they told me I’d be lucky to survive; now I’m the best of the best and the person who gets the job done no matter what. I’ve assassinated Presidents, housewives, Navy SEALS and more shifters than I can count. I have more kills than anyone in my business, so when a new order comes in to kill Alpha Gideon, I take it without a second thought. ​He’s a job like any other, but during my scouting, I see something I’ve never seen before. Alpha Gideon isn’t a tyrant or a bully; he’s kind to his Pack. I start asking questions, which is when everything goes to shit. My signal is found, and for the first time in my life, my target has me in his sights. I expect pain and maybe even death, but Alpha Gideon treats me like a welcomed guest; his warmth and kindness open up something inside of me that I didn’t know I had. I should kill him before he changes me completely. I tell him I’m cold and heartless, and he laughs. Loving a mark has never been done, but no matter what I do, every touch sets me on fire and with each longing glance, my past becomes a distant memory. I’m ready to put everything I was aside to stay with Alpha Gideon when the call comes in; my fellow assassins have been called. The bounty on Alpha Gideon has been doubled. I have two choices: protect the man who has opened up my heart or kill the target and get the job done.

On the day I get buried alive by the avalanche, my biological older sister, Whitney Linder, cuts off the safety rope wrapped around my waist in order to save Cameron Linder, the fake heir who has replaced me all these years. The snow is about to cover my head, and I can feel my warmth rapidly draining from my body. In despair, I begin screaming at Whitney. "Don't leave me behind, Whitney! Otherwise, my adoptive father's subordinates will settle the score with you by blasting the entire mountain into pieces!" Over the years since I get accepted back into the elite Linder family, I've been keeping up a cowardly and docile facade. Never have I ever mentioned my adoptive parents, who live abroad. Because of that, the Lindens have no idea that the married couple who have adopted me are actually the leaders of an international mercenary squad. My adoptive dad is a legendary sniper, whereas my adoptive mom is a demolitions expert. I'm the apple of the entire squad's eye. But Whitney pulls back the severed rope with a cold chuckle. "Keep dreaming, Skylar! You're just a country bumpkin who lies all the time, so you definitely don't have any powerful subordinates! You should be grateful to me for taking you here for a skiing trip without complaining about how much you embarrass me in public! "To think that you actually have the guts to fight for a chance of survival with Cameron! Don't you know that he mustn't suffer from any shock at all?" After that, Whitney leaves with Cameron in tow. "Since your adoptive parents are that amazing, why don't you get them to fly over in a helicopter to rescue you?" When the light above my head vanishes, I use what little strength I have to press the red button on the satellite-based GPS. What Whitney doesn't know is that she will die in the mountain once the signal is sent out.

I, Gianna Johnston, am born into a family of prodigies. My dad, Henry Johnston, is a computer science professor from Hafford University. My mom, Naomi Liddell, is a medical professor at Starvard University. And my brother, George Johnston, is an international math olympiad champion. Meanwhile, I'm barely passing my math classes at school. George gets so mad at me that he immediately writes down three full sets of math exam questions and exclaims, "You're so dumb that you're nothing but an embarrassment to Mom and Dad and me! "Don't you even think about leaving the house and embarrassing us again without completing all these math questions!" Mom then forces a few pills straight down my throat. Those pills are one of her inventions, called "smart pills". However, she doesn't care that I'm choking so hard on them that my eyes roll to the back of my head. "Stop using excuses, saying that you're tired or sleepy. These pills will keep you up for 24 hours without sleep. That should be enough time for you to complete all those math problems!" Dad then turns on "Strict Mode" on the smart house system, Domi. He says to me, "And don't even think about escaping the house to look for help. I will lock the door and cut off every signal going in or coming out. If you don't finish your work in time, nobody will even care if you die here!" After that, the three of them leave me behind and head off for their vacation in Hervaii. While shutting the door behind them, however, the vase of flowers full of water suddenly crashed into Domi's control panel. I'm choking so hard on the pills that I feel asphyxiated. I keep banging my fists against the front door for help. However, Domi, who has now short-circuited, keeps repeating, "Please complete your math questions, Gianna. Study hard and be a good student. "Study hard and be a good student. "Study hard and be a good student." I grip the sheets of math problems in my hands in agony. Will Mom, Dad, and George finally be happy when they see that I'm giving up my life for this?

Je suis morte le jour de mon anniversaire, mais ni mes parents ni mon mari ne l'ont remarqué. Ils étaient trop occupés à consacrer toute leur attention à la préparation de l'anniversaire de ma sœur jumelle, Esme Shaw. Pendant qu'elle était entourée de gens qui l'aidaient à choisir une robe, moi, j'ai été ligotée et jetée dans le sous-sol. Avec le peu de force qui me restait, j'ai forcé mes doigts brisés à taper le code 9395. C'était un signal sur lequel mon mari, Edwin Grant, et moi nous étions mis d'accord autrefois. C'était une façon simple d'appeler à l'aide en cas de danger. Je n'aurais jamais pensé que j'en aurais réellement besoin un jour. Mais quand je l'ai envoyé, il ne m'a pas crue. Sa réponse était froide « Claudia, simplement parce que je ne t'ai pas emmenée faire du shopping pour une nouvelle robe, tu as décidé de faire ton cinéma ? Tu peux encore porter la robe de l'année dernière. Arrête de faire des histoires. On se voit tout à l'heure à la fête. » Ce qu'il ne savait pas, c'est qu'Esme avait déjà déchiré cette robe en morceaux. Et ce qu'il ne pouvait pas imaginer, c'est qu'à l'instant même où il a raccroché, j'étais déjà morte. Ainsi, quand la célébration a commencé, je ne suis jamais apparue. Mais lorsque tout le monde a vu le cadeau d'anniversaire que j'avais préparé à l'avance pour Esme, toute la salle a perdu la tête.

Le parrain de la famille des Dubois était victime d'un attentat suicide. Mon mari, Mathis Dubois, en tant que chef de la garde, accompagnait Clara Blanc, son amie d'enfance, à un défilé de mode avec toute une escorte. Je n'ai pas appuyé longuement sur la bague de signal d'urgence, j’ai protégé mon ventre arrondi et je me suis jetée sur le parrain pour le protéger de l'explosion avec mon propre corps. Dans ma vie précédente, j'avais appuyé. Mathis avait abandonné Clara et était revenu en urgence, il avait sauvé le parrain et était promu bras droit de la famille. Mais Clara s'était mise en colère à cause de son départ, elle traversait l'autoroute et se faisait percuter par une voiture. Mathis ne disait rien en apparence, mais le jour de mon accouchement, il m'a envoyée dans une salle de vente aux enchères clandestine. « Le parrain est entouré de tant de soldats pour le protéger, pourquoi insistes-tu pour que je revienne ? Tu ne veux que la vanité, n'est-ce pas ? » « Si ce n'est pas à cause de toi, Clara ne serait pas morte. Toutes les souffrances qu'elle a subies, tu devais les rembourser mille et dix mille fois ! » Je l'avais regardé, impuissante, mes organes étaient vendus aux enchères un par un, même le cordon ombilical de mon enfant n'était pas épargné. Finalement, j'étais morte d'une infection lors du prélèvement de mes organes. Quand j'ai rouvert les yeux, je suis revenue au jour où le parrain était attaqué.

Alors que mon accouchement approchait, un trou énorme est soudainement apparu dans la comptabilité d'armement de la famille Gauthier. Les hauts responsables ont immédiatement pris une décision. Moi, l'épouse du chef de la famille, celle qui n'avait soi-disant rien de mieux à faire, j'ai été envoyée personnellement vérifier l'arsenal. Je pensais que ce n'était qu'une simple formalité. Mais je ne m'attendais pas à ce que Léa Morel, la sœur adoptive de mon mari Gabriel Gauthier, profite de l'occasion pour faire exploser tout l'arsenal. La détonation était assourdissante. Les flammes ont illuminé tout le ciel. J'ai été coincée sous les décombres effondrés, incapable de bouger. Une douleur violente m'a lacéré le ventre, comme si une lame me déchirait de l'intérieur. Pourtant, je n'ai pas appelé la ligne privée prioritaire de mon mari. À la place, j'ai envoyé un signal de détresse à mon père, parce que, dans ma vie précédente, j'avais contacté Gabriel dès la première seconde de l'explosion, en utilisant cette ligne prioritaire. L'enfant avait donc finalement survécu. Mais Léa avait disparu dans l'explosion, sans laisser la moindre trace. En apparence, Gabriel disait ne pas m'en vouloir. « Léa n'était qu'une étrangère de la famille. Rien n'est plus important qu'un héritier. » Il avait même dépensé une fortune pour faire venir des spécialistes en obstétrique, chargés de veiller sur moi chaque jour, me répétant sans cesse de rester tranquille et d'attendre sereinement l'accouchement. Mais le jour où j'avais accouché, tout avait changé. Il m'avait enfermée de ses propres mains avec mon enfant dans un entrepôt abandonné imbibé d'essence, avant d'y mettre le feu. Nous avons brûlé vifs. « Si tu n'avais pas fait exprès de gagner du temps, Léa ne serait jamais morte. Tu crois vraiment pouvoir me tromper en jouant la victime innocente ? Tu rêves ! » « Tu aimes jouer avec le feu ? Très bien. Je vais te faire ressentir toi-même le désespoir qu'elle a connu à la fin ! » Quand j'ai rouvert les yeux, je suis revenue au moment même de l'explosion de l'arsenal.
