"Miss Summers, I need your answer," David said again pulling out paperwork from his folder.
"Jake, I can't do this" I shook my head. "I'm just his receptionist."
"Ebony, listen to me. Carter is giving you his whole world because he trusts you, you need to do this." Jake said nodding his head. "This family needs you to hold us together right now. You need to be the alpha."
I closed my eyes and sighed. "I accept," I said, taking a deep breath. "But when he returns to us, the company is his again."
"I will let him know your terms and that you have accepted his offer. He will be pleased to hear this news. I will send the paperwork to you tomorrow."
"Is there any way I can see him? Please, just for a moment. I need to hear it from his mouth that this is what he wants. Is there any way I can talk to him?" It was hard to get that bit out as my voice seemed to stop.
"I can try but don't get your hopes up. Oh, I nearly forgot ..." he reached into a jacket pocket and pulled out an envelope. "Mr Morgan told me to give you this. I probably should have given it to you when we first meet." he handed me the white envelope with my name on it.
My heart pounded as I opened the envelope.
My dearest Ebony,
How do I even begin this? I miss you so much, and I think about you all the time. I think about your laugh. What you did with your hair today? If you smiled today? I never told you this, but I used to listen to you laugh on the phone with your friends when I first meet you, and I would smile, you were the only one who could make me smile. I miss you so damn much.

The first time I saw you in my office, I lied to you. I knew who you were and what you had done for my company. In fact, I even spoke to you a few times on the phone, but I never gave my name. I knew you were different, and I knew you were just like me. I knew you felt alone, but content with it, and I wanted to know more. When I saw you at the office that night, I knew this was my chance, so I sent Jake down to get you. Unfortunately, I was not myself that night, and I acted like well, a complete animal and I am sorry about that, but I'm so glad you agreed to work with me. You changed everything in my world, and now I don't know how to survive without you, but I promise I will never give up the fight to return to you. Never.
I have changed my will and left everything to you, you are the only person I trust, and I know you will do great things while I'm gone. Jake will stay with you and be loyal to you, just like he has to me for many, many years. Protect him, he is family, and he will fight to the death to protect you.
I'm sorry all this happened Ebony, but I'm not sorry I meet you. I meant what I said, you are my one, and that means we are destined to be together if not in this life, then in the next. I will be thinking of you always and I hope one day to kiss your beautiful lips again and hear your sweet laugh. I am forever yours Ebony Summers.
Carter
"What does it say?" Jake said in my ear.

I had my hand over my mouth, and I couldn't breathe. I was sobbing that much. "It said you're stuck here with me and that we run his company now." I looked over at him and tried to smile.
"Fuck, I'm stuck here with you?" Jake made a face. "Excuse me, sir, is there any room in your car for me?" Jake laughed as I hit him.
"Do you now accept the estate, Miss Summers?" David said, smiling slightly.
I just nodded my head.
"Very good. I shall see you all very soon then." David said, turning around and walking to the door.
"Wait, can you give Carter this" I ran over to the table and grabbed a pen and some paper.
Carter,
I miss you so much, it hurts me every day, and every breath I take has the thought of you on it. Jake explained everything to me, and you have nothing to be sorry about. I adore you like I always have and I always will. I will fight until my dying breath to get you out of there, and I will forever wait for you.
I will look after your company until you are back with me, and I promise you I will look after it. I will not let you down.
Please come back to me, I need you here by my side. We need you to make us a family again.
With all my love
Ebony xx
I folded the paper and put it in the same envelope he had sent me. "Can you give him this please?" I handed David the envelope.
"Of course, Miss Summers," David said, taking the envelope and putting it back in his jacket. "I will give it to him tonight."
"Thank you."
"I will be in touch," he said, walking towards the door.
"Why is it I feel like I now have an even bigger target on my back now?" I said, turning to Jake.
"I can't even see you from the target on your back," he said, scrunching up his face. "Man, I'm going to die, aren't I?"
"Right before me I'm afraid," I smiled.
"Fuck" he yelled flopping back on the chair.

The Simulacrum
"He who fights with harem tropes should see to it that he himself does not become a harem protagonist. And if you gaze for long into a narrative, the narrative gazes also into you." --- Friedrich Nietzsche (probably?) How would you react if one day you woke up inside an environment running on tropes and clichés? For allegedly average high-schooler Leonard Dunning, this question became quite relevant when one day he woke up in a pristine city on a strange island in the middle of the Atlantic, without any memories, surrounded by classmates who are barely more than characterless placeholders, and with a classic indecisive harem protagonist and his impossibly beautiful love interests for friends. That would be hard to deal with already, yet his investigation into the tropes governing the world, trying to avoid harem shenanigans, and his odd blend of outside-context knowledge, unique abilities, and a penchant for causing trouble wherever he goes ends up dragging him into the center of the action anyway. Disclaimer: This is a tongue-in-cheek, slice of life romantic comedy, with occasional sprinkles of combat and mystery to spice things up. Please do not expect a straight up deconstruction beyond some in-universe meta-commentary by the characters.
