Mistaken Identity 85.
Avery’s POVThe scent of simmering garlic filled the air as Avery moved around the kitchen, her hands busy but her mind far from calm. It had taken her a lot to calm down and begin to process the information Kelvin had told her. At least Asher had been there with her.She was chopping vegetables for lunch, but each slice of the knife seemed to mirror the tangle of thoughts she couldn’t sort through. Asher sat at the kitchen island, watching her with quiet patience, giving her space but also staying close, just in case she needed to talk. She had not told him about what she and Kelvin had discussed.Not because she didn't want to, or didn't trust him, but because she had no idea where to start from. There was a lot to tell him and still a lot that she was yet to process.“I told you he would wait,” she murmured after a while, not turning to face him. It was not the reply to what Asher had said earlier, but he didn't point it out.Asher raised an eyebrow. “Kelvin?” she muttered.She n

Avery’s POV His voice. His touch. The warmth in his eyes when he looked at her. The unshakable way he made her feel seen, even when she didn’t know who she was.That was real. That was now.Her heart didn’t waver when it came to Asher. There were no question marks. No hesitations. No blank spaces.She knew him. She knew how he made her feel. Even if she couldn’t remember her past, she was certain of her present.Avery gathered her courage, her fingers tightening around the edge of the table."Kelvin," she said quietly, lifting her gaze to meet his, "I'm sorry if this is hard to hear… but I don’t remember any of it. I don’t remember you. I don’t remember how I felt. And I need you to understand that I’m not the same person anymore."He stared at her for a long moment, and for the first time since they sat down, the shine of hope dimmed in his eyes."You’re still her," he said softly. "You’re still Raina. She’s in there somewhere, just... lost."Avery gave a sad smile. "Maybe. But I’m

Avery’s POV "That night. The night you disappeared." Kelvin continued, drawing her attention back, "you said you were exhausted, but you stayed for hours just to talk to me. You always made time for me."Avery forced a small smile, though her mind was still spinning."What about... my family?" she asked cautiously.Kelvin's face sobered. "You didn’t have much. Your grandfather raised you. He passed away a few years before..." He paused, his throat working like the words physically pained him. "Before you disappeared."No parents. No siblings. Only a grandfather.Avery swallowed hard, her throat suddenly dry. The quiet hum of the café around her faded into the background as something inside her shifted, like the foundations of her identity were cracking under the weight of the truth.She'd always known she was missing something. But hearing it, confirming it like this... it still hit harder than she expected.She looked at Kelvin, really looked at him. There was something familiar abo

Avery’s POVKelvin nodded with a small smile. "Yeah. In the accounting department. You were one of the youngest to get promoted to senior analyst, I think. Your team always had good things to say about you." He took a sip of his coffee. "You were brilliant, Raina. Organized, sharp... always ahead of deadlines."Avery’s mind reeled.She hadn’t told Kelvin who she was currently with, so he didn’t know it was Asher Storm. And Asher had made it clear that he hadn’t known her, not really, until the night they met, the night that had changed everything. The night she couldn't even remember.But if Kelvin was telling the truth… She had worked at Storm Capitals? Asher's company. This was getting more complicated than she had thought.“I don’t remember that at all,” she murmured, more to herself than to him.Kelvin leaned forward, concern creasing his brow. “I know. This must be overwhelming for you. But yeah, that’s where you spent most of your time. You used to grumble about the long meetin

Avery's POVAsher pulled the car up to the curb outside the small café, the engine humming quietly as he shifted into park. Avery sat still, her eyes fixed on the building while her hands trembled slightly in her lap.It wasn’t fear holding her back, at least not the kind that made you run. From the moment she’d received the DNA results from Asher, she had made up her mind: she would chase the truth, no matter how painful or complicated it turned out to be. Regardless of what she found out.No, she wasn’t scared. She was anxious; uneasy about what she was going to uncover. Every time one mystery from her past unraveled, it seemed to drag up something deeper, darker, more tangled. The closer she got to the truth, the more it felt like she was walking into a storm without knowing what waited on the other side.And as much as she wanted the answers, as much as she needed them to piece her life back together, it was hard to face the weight of it all. Not just for herself—but for her boys

Avery’s POVShe sniffled, pressing her forehead to his chest. She was calming down, that was good. Maybe, somewhere within her heart, she had assumed that she was someone else.Silence fell between them again, thick and heavy.“I don’t understand,” she whispered after a while. “Why would he do this? Why would he take away my identity?”Asher knew who Avery was referring to. He didn’t have the answers to those questions, only Wellesley knew why he had done what he had done.“I don’t know,” Asher said, brushing her hair back. “But I promise you, we’ll find out. I’ll help you, Avery—Raina—we’ll get to the bottom of it.”She looked up at him, eyes red and puffy. “But who even knows Raina Ross? How do I start? Where do I go from here?” she muttered.Asher hesitated. She was already spiraling. But she needed a way forward, a next step. He should have thought of that when he had seen the results. She wasn’t one to dwell on something without looking for a solution to move forward.Finally, sh
