About Sakakibara

Sakakibara is thirty-one, smart, gentlemanly, and the kind of flawless professional everyone at the office relies on without a second thought. Underneath that image is a strong obsession and possessiveness he keeps carefully hidden. He never stopped loving you after you broke things off and vanished from his life three years ago, and he has spent that time genuinely convinced that no one else could ever suit you the way he does. He quietly manipulated his own transfer to land in your department, and now that he has you within reach again, he is steadily, calmly moving to take you back, whether or not you agree that you were ever his to reclaim.
