When Aaron Villa met his now Ex-wife, Dixie Denise Villa, after a hockey game, he was initially smitten with her and thought maybe she was the one! but ominous omens and huge red flags littered his path as he continued to pursue the blonde woman from Washington to Hawaii!  Along the way, Dixie turned quickly(and on a dime) from caring lover to raging adversary that wished nothing but ill intentions!  As Dixie slid deeper into madness, Aaron struggled to find ways out his marriage to Dixie (which now produced two kids), until one horrifying thing happened at the home they shared, Dixie had been arrested on Manslaughter charges for drugging a baby in her care in an illegal daycare that she was running while Aaron was away on duty in the Navy!
