Ashley (A Lover's Revenge)

Evil adulteress Ashley

Ashley (Sonya Salomaa) was a hidden villainess from the 2005 Lifetime film, A Lover's Revenge (airdate October 17, 2005).

Introduction

Ashley's introductory scene saw her attempt to contact Rob Manners while he was on a dinner date with his wife, radio psychologist Liz Manners, who had suspected something off about Rob and even wondered if he was having an affair. Liz's suspicions ended up being true, as Ashley was shown laying next to Rob and comforting him after a tryst, revealing Ashley as Rob's mistress. After Rob confessed to the affair to Liz, he returned to Ashley's apartment and informed her that he was ending their relationship, angering Ashley to the point where she ejected Rob.

Reveal & Death

Ashley later phoned Liz's radio show and anonymously vented about her failed relationship with a married man, responding to Liz's admonishment by accusing her lover's wife of being obsessed with her career. After Liz informed Ashley that the wife's career was none of her business, Ashley mentioned her lover by name--Rob, and later lashed out at Liz for being "selfish" and calling her a "self-centered bitch," before the call ended. It was at that moment that James Stratton (Rob's friend and business partner) appeared and commended Ashley as she received what was revealed to be a payout for her actions, as James was actually Kyle Lundstrom, a man who had been plotting revenge on Liz, as he blamed Liz for the accidental death of his wife, Sarah Jane Lang.

Sarah Jane had been calling Liz's show regarding Kyle, as he was immensely abusive towards his wife, leading to Sarah Jane phoning Liz and voicing her plans to leave him. An argument ensued, leading to Sarah Jane running out of the house and into the street, where she was accidentally run over and killed. Kyle blamed Liz for Sarah Jane's death and planned his revenge, and regarding Ashley, the villainess was paid by Kyle to seduce Rob and have an affair with him, as well as make her lambasting call to Liz's radio show. Following her reveal, the evil Ashley demanded an additional $10,000, adding that Kyle promised to "make it worth her while" in response to Ashley's original plan to back out.

When Kyle refused to pay and became violent, Ashley held Kyle at gunpoint and continued her demand for more money, threatening to reveal Kyle's true identity if he didn't comply. Kyle later asked Ashley if it was worth it, and after Ashley stated that it was, Kyle struck Ashley and later smothered her to death with a pillow, which was followed by Kyle burying Ashley's body.
