Ashley met Giovanni in high school, the 'perfect little romance' type of deal. They fell in love and stayed together during school. Afterwards, they married and led a happy life... for a little while.

They had two children, a daughter named Ginger and a son named Ash.

During the time after Ginger was born, even before Ash was born, Giovanni began to work with the Rockets. At first it wasn't much, but eventually his involvement grew, and Ashley noticed that something was wrong. She wasn't sure what it was, but it scared her.

After several futile attempts to get him to stop, she left, taking Ash with her. She worked several jobs, and eventually moved into her own house.

From there on out she tried to lead a normal life. She kept the truth from Ash, and did a good job of it... If 'good' is the right word to use. She even dated other men, hoping that maybe someone who was right would come along.

She couldn't get Giovanni out of her head, though...
