Scorned murderess Ashley
Ashley (Shanti Lowry) is the main villainess from the 2021 short film, Lover's Discretion.
In the film, Ashley and her husband of six years, Will, had been living in quarantine due to rising COVID-19 cases, and the opening saw the couple waking up in bed together before Ashley fixes breakfast. Ashley reminds Will to wash his hands due to COVID-19 concerns, and during breakfast, Will informed his wife that he would be in a virtual business meeting with Tom before heading off to the grocery store, and when asked if she needed anything, Ashley said that she didn't, right before she went to the bathroom.
Later that day, Will participated in his virtual meeting with Tom before he started coughing, with Tom suspecting that Will caught COVID. Will stated that it was something else, and it was at that moment that Ashley walked downstairs donning a black dress, high heels, and lipstick, with Will noticing Ashley's elegant look. Ashley stated that she was shaking things up as she gave Will a glass of water, and upon noticing Will's coughing fit, Ashley asked her husband if he had COVID. Will stated that he didn't, adding that he believed that it was an allergic reaction.
In a twist, Ashley turned heel by revealing that she laced Will's breakfast with peanut oil, doing so knowing that he was deathly allergic. Regarding a motive, the villainess--while holding Will's allergy medication away from him--revealed that she found out that Will had been cheating on her with a woman named Keisha, after which Ashley admonished Will for not only his cheating, but putting Ashley's life at risk with his decisions. Will stated that Keisha meant nothing to him before injecting his medication, only to end up with a more violent reaction. At that moment, the evil Ashley revealed to Will that she dosed the medication with bleach, and later watched as Will fatally succumbed to Ashley's evil handiwork.
The villainess later portrayed herself as a shocked and horrified woman, feigning tears as she called 911 regarding Will. After hanging up, Ashley regained her composure and sat at the dining room table, removing her ring while expressing satisfaction over killing her husband.
