After I left, the twin Alphas went crazy novel Chapter 138

When I touched my cheek, I found it damp with tears I hadn’t realized I’d shed. The memory of Lirian’s sacrifice in my past life loomed vividly in my mind, replaying his final, selfless act over and over.

Lirian, who had been sleeping beside me, stirred awake and reached for me immediately. His concern etched deep lines in his face as he brushed a thumb across my tear-streaked cheek.

“Sophia,” he murmured gently, his voice still rough with sleep. “What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”

I opened my mouth to explain, but the words tangled in my throat. Instead, I wrapped my arms tightly around him, needing his warmth and solidity to ground me.

He didn’t press me, sensing that I wasn’t ready to talk. Instead, he held me in silence, rubbing soothing circles along my back. His silent comfort was enough to quiet the tremors that had overtaken me.

After a while, I slowly pulled away, offering him a small, grateful smile. Before either of us could speak, my phone buzzed sharply on the bedside table, breaking the tranquility. I took a deep breath, gathered myself, and picked up the phone.

“Hello, is this Ms. Sophia?” a bright, professional voice asked on the other end. “I’m the producer for *Fashion Queen*. I’m pleased to let you know that you’ve passed our audition and have been cast as the lead, Devonne.”

I froze, processing her words. I glanced at Lirian, my mouth slowly curving into a broad smile. He looked at me with wide, happy eyes, clearly catching onto my excitement. “I got it, Lirian,” I whispered, trying to contain my joy. “I actually got the role!”

Lirian’s face broke into a grin, and he squeezed my hand. “Sophia, that’s incredible! I’m so proud of you.”

The producer went on to explain her decision. “From the moment I saw you, Sophia, it felt like Devonne had come to life right in front of me. Your resilience and strength are exactly what we envisioned for this role. Congratulations!”

As she spoke, I felt a rush of pride and fulfillment.

After all the setbacks and hardships I’d endured—especially with Linda trying to secure this role—it was incredibly validating to know I’d proven myself. I’d earned this.

“Thank you so much,” I replied, my voice thick with emotion. “I promise to give it my all.”

After the call, I was swiftly contacted by a production assistant who briefed me on the shooting schedule and other details. I learned that the filming would take around three months, a timeline that gave me just enough time before the school year started.
