Solo Leveling Chapter 142

Ember’s world shattered the moment she was ripped from her family—her mom, her brother—and sold to Alpha Thorne, the man who killed her father. Thrown into a harsh world full of pack politics and dangerous secrets, Ember’s only goal is to survive. But everything changes the day she meets Thorne. Their bond is electric, messy, and impossible to ignore, even if neither of them wants it. Alpha Thorne is tough and ruthless, but beneath all that is a man carrying his own scars and a fierce loyalty to his pack. Ember doesn’t trust him, and she sure as hell won’t bow to him. With rival Alphas scheming, betrayals waiting around every corner, and loved ones caught in the middle, Ember is forced to make a choice: protect the family she’s trying to rebuild, or give in to the one man she swore she’d never trust. Packed with loyalty, sacrifice, and a passion hotter than any war, this story is about survival, love, and finding where you truly belong—even when everything’s against you. And in the end, the biggest war Ember will face… is the one between love and revenge. *This book starts in first person, then shifts to third person from Chapter 7 on — opening up the world to reveal complex characters and their goals.

En el primer día de mi renacimiento, entré directamente en la habitación de Don Raffaele Caruso y empecé a quitarme la ropa. En mi vida anterior, tuve un matrimonio de conveniencia con su hijo, Matteo Caruso, pero no había amor entre nosotros. Ambos éramos conocidos en el círculo mafioso de Liberty City. Matteo creía que yo era la razón por la que perdió a su primer amor. Pensaba que había entrado deliberadamente en su habitación la noche en que lo drogaron con un afrodisíaco, atrapándolo así en un matrimonio. Por lo tanto, durante ocho años después de nuestra boda, él se emborrachó cada noche y se negó a volver a casa. Incluso cuando entré en trabajo de parto obstruido y estuve al borde de la muerte, nunca preguntó por mí ni una sola vez. Entonces, llegó el huracán. Una tormenta ciclónica se tragó Liberty City. El puerto se derrumbó bajo las olas y solo quedaba un asiento restante en el barco de evacuación. Todos pensaron que Matteo se lo quedaría. En cambio, me empujó con fuerza hacia el barco. —¡Vete! Te doy mi oportunidad de vivir, Chiara. Si hay otra vida, no vuelvas a intentar salvarme. Solo quiero estar con Lucía. Al instante siguiente, su cuerpo fue arrastrado al mar tan negro como la boca del lobo. Yo sobreviví, solo para ser asesinada a machetazos por una familia rival. Lo que Matteo nunca supo fue que no fue el único drogado esa noche. Su padre también lo fue. Así que, esta vez, entré en la habitación justo cuando los efectos del afrodisíaco empezaban a surtir efecto. Raffaele se estaba obligando a soportarlo, con su control al límite. Me acerqué y le dije en voz baja: —Déjeme ser su antídoto, Don Caruso.

Cuando Sergio Ximénez, el presidente del Grupo Ximénez, quedó discapacitado tras un accidente y anunció públicamente que buscaba matrimonio, la noticia conmocionó a toda la Capital. Mi padre subió mis datos de inmediato. —Ya que insistes en romper con Hugo Suárez, ve a intentar congraciarte con la familia Ximénez. Me negué rotundamente. Cuando intenté quitarle el celular, me abofeteó con fuerza: —No lo decides tú. Acorralada, no tuve más remedio que buscar la ayuda de Hugo, solo él podía hacer que mi padre cambiara de opinión. Pero, sin querer, escuché su conversación. —Tranquilo, Sr. Suárez. Sergio es un inválido, Serena, con su orgullo, seguro que lo desprecia. En poco tiempo vendrá llorando a suplicar por volver. Hugo soltó una risa leve: —Luna quiere un bebé. Solo me acuesto con ella para ayudarla. Serena monta un escándalo por tan poca cosa, hiciste muy bien, Sr. López. Era como si me hundiera en un abismo de hielo. Resulta que siempre había estado parada sobre las mentiras, sin nadie a mi lado. Hasta que la familia Ximénez realmente me seleccionó, ellos sí entraron en pánico.
