Mistaken Identity 116.
Asher’s POV Asher gave a small nod and knelt in front of Neal, Noel still on his arms. Perhaps if he saw his brother excited, he would warm up to this, he thought.Keeping his voice gentle, he spoke. “Hey, buddy. You’re safe here, alright? I wouldn’t bring you anywhere that wasn’t. I promise.”Noel blinked at him, then slowly, cautiously, released his grip on Avery’s fingers. He didn’t speak, but he gave a small nod of his own, barely there, but it was enough.“That’s my brave boy,” Avery murmured, kissing the top of his head.Asher stood and reached for Avery’s hand, lacing their fingers together. He gave her a reassuring squeeze and glanced down at the boys again. “Let’s go meet Grandma Georgia, yeah?” he muttered.Neal bounced on the balls of his feet, practically glowing. “Do you think she’ll give us cookies?” he asked.Asher laughed, leading the way as they walked toward the grand entrance. “If I know my grandmother, she’ll give you cookies, juice, and a lecture about your postu

Asher’s POV Asher parked the car in front of the Storm mansion entrance and turned off the engine with a quiet sigh. Grandmother was already waiting at the door, her tall frame poised in elegance, arms folded over her coat. She never waited by the door for him. That job was always left to Wilson, the butler. If Wilson was no where to be seen, then she had intentionally stood there. He didn’t know if he should be glad that she was waiting for him, or if he should be cautious. The last time she had stood at the door for him, it had ended badly. Her presence today made one thing clear though, it was going to be a long day.He glanced at Avery in the passenger seat. She was unbuckling her seatbelt, but her hands trembled slightly. It wasn’t obvious, not unless you really knew her, and he did. This was the first time she’d be meeting his grandmother, Georgia Storm. It wasn’t just any introduction. It was the introduction.After last night, the proposal, Avery asking him to legally be

Avery’s POVThen suddenly, Asher leaned back slightly, a mixture of wonder and seriousness in his face as he looked at her.His jaw worked as if searching for the right words. “Avery, do you mean that? Because I’d do anything for those boys. Anything to protect them. If it means legally making them mine, I’ll do it in a heartbeat. Not out of obligation. But because I already love them. I already see them as mine. But this… this is big.” He said in a slow voice as if talking to a child.She nodded, her voice firm. She was more sure of this now, more than ever. “I know it is. But I don’t trust anyone else. And I trust you with them.” She said, her tone sure without doubts.For a second, Asher just stared at her, stunned into silence. “You… you want me to adopt them?” he muttered, blinking his eyes at her, like he wanted to stop the tears that she could now clearly see, from falling out.“If you’d be willing,” she whispered, running her hand up and down his arm. “You’re already more of

Avery’s POV Asher was quiet for a beat. Then he shifted closer and wrapped his arms around her again. If Asher hadn’t shown up that day, staring at her like he’d seen a ghost, calling her by a name she didn’t recognize, then none of this would have started. She wouldn’t have known she resembled someone else, wouldn’t have questioned the version of her life the Wellesleys had so carefully crafted around her. There would’ve been no search for the truth, no late-night doubts, no confrontation with the man she once believed to be her father-in-law, her grandfather. Avery would still have remained in that house, quietly existing under a false identity, raising her boys with no knowledge of the life, or the person, she had lost, except her memories came back to her.In a way, it was Asher who had set all of this in motion. He had cracked open the fragile illusion she was living in, and through that crack, the truth had poured in like sunlight, blinding, uncomfortable, but necessary.“Y

Avery’s POVAsher waited patiently as she gathered her thoughts. Her fingers played with the edge of her sweater, the fabric suddenly too warm, too heavy.“After dropping the boys off to school, I went to the estate,” she began softly after a few heartbeats. “It looked the same. Cold. Beautiful. And still… so unfamiliar. Like I didn’t belong there.”Asher said nothing, letting her speak at her own pace.“The maid let me in. She didn’t even flinch when she saw me, like she was expecting someone who didn’t belong, though she was surprised. Vivian was on her way out, of course she was. She looked at me like I was a smudge on her shoe.” She Continued.Asher let out a low breath, already frowning. “I don’t like that woman.”She gave him a small, dry smile. “Neither do I. But this time… something was different in the way she treated me, so I confronted her.” She said. Avery had no plans of confronting Vivian or even Joanna that day. She had come majorly to speak with grandfather Wellesley,

Avery’s POVThe garage was dimly lit, the golden glow of the evening sun stretching its arms across the driveway.The moment Avery pulled into the garage, her hands trembled slightly as she turned off the engine. The weight of the visit with Grandfather Wellesley pressed heavily on her chest, and for a second, she couldn’t move. Everything she’d just gone through swirled in her head, the confrontation, the truths spoken aloud, and the painful silences in between.She hadn’t fully processed it all, and yet, here she was, home. If it could still be called that.Asher was already waiting by the garage door. The second she stepped out, he was there, opening the door for her without a word. He didn’t smile, didn’t speak, just gently guided her out of the car and pulled her into his arms. Avery sank into him like a wave crashing into shore.She had decided earlier that day to do this without Asher physically by her side. Not because she didn’t trust him, God, no, but because deep down, sh
