Chapter 16

Ally took a deep breath and finally came face to face with Steph. Ally was taken back at just how ordinary this lying tart looked. Her hair was dyed blonde, badly Ally smirked. She was not unattractive but was no great beauty. She was wearing a dress that was far too short and a little too tight and she had on far too much make up. Ally couldn’t help but compare herself to her and she knew she was everything this wannabe wasn’t.

“Ally,” Cole said, the nervousness in his voice very clear. “This is Stephanie Richards.”

“Steph,” Steph purred with a grin that Ally longed to slap.

“Steph,” Cole said turning to Ally and smiling at her. “This gorgeous lady is Ally Brody.”

“I thought your name was Fitzmaurice,” the other girl sitting next to Steph spoke up suddenly. Ally knew she was trying to unnerve her and had she not over heard the conversation earlier, she would have. But Ally knew her game and she was happy to play.

“Actually, that’s my father’s name,” Ally replied with the biggest smile she could. “My name is Brody. And you are?”

“Becca,” the girl replied a little less enthusiastically.

“Becca is my sister,” Steph added staring at Ally, Ally turned to her in time to see Steph look her up and down from head to toe. Ally couldn’t help but smile at the look of pure jealousy on the lying tramps face.

“And this,” Cole said reaching in to the designer buggy next to Steph. No doubt paid for by Cole! Ally thought angrily. “This is Ben”

And there he was. This gorgeous little boy, fast asleep in Cole’s arms. Ally looked from Ben to Cole and her heart broke. He looked so happy and proud. How was she ever going to tell him that Ben was not his son? Ally looked down at Steph and it took her every ounce of strength she had not to slap her face there and then.

Cole walked towards Ally slowly, his eyes fixed on the sleeping bundle in his arms. Then he looked up at Ally and smiled.

“Would you like to hold him?” Cole asked Ally unsure if he should or not.

“I would love to,” Ally smiled but inside her heart was hurting so badly. She turned to Steph and added. “If that’s okay?”

“Sure,” Steph forced a half smile and stared at Ally but Ally just smiled back at her before she took the little boy into her arms.

“He is perfect,” Ally whispered as she cradled the little boy in her arms and kissed him softly on the forehead. “I think he looks like his Mommy.”

Ally couldn’t resist. She remembered the comment from the bathroom, about how all she needed to do was tell Cole he looked just like him and he was hooked. She looked up at Cole again and he was positively beaming.

How can she do this to him? Ally asked herself. How can this girl be so completely heartless?

“I think he looks like Cole,” Steph said much to Ally’s surprise.
