Some call it a grudge. But for me, hating Alessandra Jones feels more like an obsession.
AJ is the league’s first female general manager—and unfortunately, my boss. As team captain, I have to play nice with her. At least when people are watching.
Behind closed doors? We clash. Constantly. Until one night, our arguments turn into something else. We swore it wouldn’t happen again.
We can’t stand each other. We’re locked in contract negotiations. AJ is chasing a GM of the Year award. A relationship would be a PR disaster—and completely unethical.
It gets even messier. We’ve got a history. My daughter adores her. And when AJ takes a hit to protect my kid, I can’t leave her alone. I bring her into my home.
Caring for her feels too easy. Getting close again? Too dangerous. She broke my trust once, and I won’t let her do it again.
But the longer she stays, the harder it is to remember why I hated her in the first place. Maybe I never hated her at all.
Maybe I’m just obsessed—with her.
