This knowledge caused Ashley to have a mental breakdown and leave town.
Victor also got there just in the nick of time and rescued Ashley from a would-be kidnapper.
Too bad Victor was already married to Nikki and Nikki didn’t like this one bit.

She especially didn’t like it when Victor asked for a divorce so he could marry Ashley.
So, she feigned a terminal illness so Victor would stay with her.
However, when he learned the truth, he was furious and wanted Ashley back.

The abortion caused her to have another mental breakdown.
Victor tried to stop Ashley from marrying him on their wedding day, but he was too late.
However, the marriage didn’t last long because Steven was killed.

Of course, that wasn’t the end of Victor and Ashley.
Eventually, Abby learned who her real father was and changed her last name to Newman.
And her parents even married again, with Ashley becoming pregnant.
