Ashley Rose Lewis, Grew up in Denver Colorado. When she was 8 her parents died in a car crash she was taken care of by family and friends and graduated high school. When Ashely was in school she did plays and other things too. She loved the theater scene and wouldn't mind getting back into it. One day she decided that it was time to start.

Ashley was just getting off work when she saw in a newspaper ad that their where auditions for Phantom of the Opera. She went to the theater and audition. The cast director asked her some questions and which version of phantom of the opera they have seen. When she answered the questions he went ahead and asked her who she was auditing for. " Christine Diia if you don't mind." Ashley said. " Not at all go ahead." The director said. When she started to sing the director took his feet off of his seat and looked at her. He couldn't believe it. The voice of an angel singing like she does.

He stops her and goes up on stage looking at her. He held out his hand. " Congratulations you got the part line reading starts tomorrow at 6." Director said. She smiled and hugged him jumping up and down with joy " Thank you, Thank you so much I will definitely be here." Ashley said. Before she left she ran out the door and bumps into someone. " Oof oh I am sorry I didn't mean too." Ashley said. She looks up and sees this 6 foot man with brown hair nice complexion and a hook nose. " It is no problem Miss.." The gentlemen said. " Ashley sir, Name is Ashley." Ashley said " Please call me Angel." Angel said as he held out his hand. Ashley shook it and looked at her watch. " I have to go it was nice meeting you Angel if your auditioning good luck" she said running to her car.

She drove home with a look of despire. She was wondering what her husband was going to do to her. Her mind kept racing with all the thoughts of despair. Once she pulled up and went to the front. A very angry man stood there and dragged her into the house. Once inside he smacked her and asked were she was. " Where were you." Pablo said smacking her in the face. " I went to audition for a play." Ashley said. He smacked her again " How many times have I said to come home after work." Pablo said. " You told me a lot but." Ashley said before another smack came across her face this one left a bruise. He pulled her hair and threw her on the floor in the kitchen. " Get to cooking bitch food should of been done an hour ago and the kitchen should of been cleaned." Pablo said. She looked up at all the messy dishes. Pablo always messed up the kitchen on purpose to keep her busy. Once she had dinner and the table and told him that dinner was ready they sat at the table. With so little on her plate she ate and waited for her husband to finish eating. She took his plate and started to clean the kitchen.

Once she is done she went and told him that she was taking a shower. She left the door open so he can watch her take a shower. He inspected her for anything that was indicate cheating. She got out and he pulled her close. " I am sorry my love that I had to strike you please forgive me." Pablo said. She shook her head with a cold feeling in her. He took her to the couch and sat down with her while the watch tv. Later in the night he was getting tired. He took her hand and pulled her into the bedroom. She laid in bed while he feel asleep. She sat and looked up at the ceiling sometime she cried but, made sure for him not to let him hear her.
