My Arcane Muse

Once prince to be is now a common job seeker

“Cring… Cring…”, the alarm clock began to ring its lungs out from one of the bedsides waking up Eugene who was sleeping soundly indulged himself with the same dream that he had been having for years.

“It’s 5 in the morning again. It’s time to rise and shine alongside facing another day full of challenges. Eugene. You can do it.”, Eugene shut down the alarm clock extending his hand out from the blanket to the bedside where in the next moment he sat up tossing the blanket away exposing his masculine well build body while rubbing his eyes before getting down from the bed just to push himself to keep up with another dull day full of struggling of his life.

“It was another dream almost the same as usual. You were there.”, a slight twitch carved on the corner of his perfect pinkish lips forming a soft yet slight smile where his purple amethyst like eyes was filled with the touch of happiness and an untold feeling of affection.

“Though life seems tough as long as I could find you, I will hang in there looking forwards to every new day without complaining.”, he fixed his slightly messy hair putting on his t-shirt which was placing orderly beside his pillows with a cheerful smile.

“Those magnificent eyes of yours which is alluring like bright red rose petals. You are always elegant and gorgeous with your perfect slender yet curvy lean hourglass physics. When your pitch-black hair dazzled in the light like the night sky twinkling with numerous stars, you look even more attractive. Even though I have or I could never see your face except for your those pigeon blood ruby eyes I know that you must be an alluring lady with angel-like beauty.”, thoughts kept wandering around his mind while he was getting ready to head out of the home after having a refreshing morning shower to get his mind and himself freshen up.

Eugene Brendon was popular in his small cycle with all his familiar persons as Eugene. He was the only son of a well-known businessman, Eagan Brendon and Ellena Brendon who was the most famous singer of her time.

Though he was once a part of a rich family he was living a life more ordinary to ordinary as when he was 10 his parents died in a car accident which changed the life of the once prince with all luxuries and comfort to just be a common boy struggling to live all by himself facing all kind of crisis to live as once his parents passed away his so-called relatives took away all the money and properties owned by his parents in the name of taking care him and gradually began to t*****e him in silent so that he would also end up falling to the lap of the death but he who didn’t give up easily manage to run away from the clutches of his evil relatives with the help of the loyal servants of his parents and began to live with the former butler of his family as his son but once he passed away when he was 15 he had no option but to live all alone by himself.

The prince who once owned a huge castle was now living in a tiny apartment in the downtown smaller than the washroom at his parents’ house being the poor boy who could only afford the payment of that house as his only living place with his little money.

Though he had a lot of problems to deal with day to day life one after another yet he was optimistic about the future in some way due to a dream he always had whenever he fell asleep which had the lady with alluring bright red eyes that always gave him hope to look forward to every day as somewhere in his hearts he knew that he had to find the person of his dreams as she was somehow was the key to open the door of happiness in his life as he always felt that she was the missing piece of his vague memories which could solve the biggest puzzle of his life relating his childhood that he seemed to be forgotten.

Besides, that dream he always contained a hidden wish buried deep in his heart full of hatred to take back what belonged to him from his those greedy relatives and serve them the taste of all the troubles, sufferings, pains and grieves he had been through so far in double.

Eugene was a charming young man adopting the same alluring and elegant facial features as his mother which indeed made him more attractive and magnificent than most of the pretty gorgeous ladies yet he had that handsome tall well build physics like his father alongside his powerful yet soothing aura beside them he also got a unique pair of amethyst eyes which could sometimes change their colour to be golden like his father’s ones in what anyone could see the dazzling universe with countless stars. Though both his parents had blonde and black hair yet he had dark coffee brown hair which used to appear almost black most of the time.

Somehow no matter how much he had his mother’s appearance beaming in him yet one look at him, the first thing used to dazzle in him was his resembles with his father as if he was carrying the shadow of his father along with him all the time.  

He was always appreciated and loved by the people because of his kind and polite personality that he had inherited from both his parents and as well as he had a lot of admirers because of his attractiveness but he loved to keep up being a low key as much as possible.

Eugene who was rushing to take his new job of being a personal assistant which was recommended to him by his close friend Sofia seemed so absent-minded while heading to the address given to him for the new job. Though out of excitement he accepted it at the first place which he was regretting the whole while and hesitation to go to the place he had to work was overwhelming him though he was already halfway there.

To the whole way to his new workplace, the moment of his accepting the job offer from his friend was running like a movie scene in the flashback of his mind,

  “Eugene, do you want to be a personal assistant of a songwriter???”, Sofia who was a fun-loving carefree sweet bubbly type girl questioned out casually while her sweet face was overshadowing with a bit of hesitation all of the sudden while enjoying her favourite star bucks bluedrink.

Hearing her question Eugene’s eyes brighten up with the eagerness to know further about it yet he chose not to reply too fast as he could see some kind of hesitation in his friend’s confident pitch-black eyes. As a result, he decided to suppress his excitement indulging himself to enjoy his favourite hot chocolate while maintaining his calm cool pose letting his friend complete her words fully.

“Do you know what??? The salary is extremely high. You won’t need to do those other small part-time jobs either.”, Sofia said while pushing her drink a bit away with a bright smile.

Hearing about the salary option Eugene could no longer hold his excitement as he was somewhat undergoing a financial crisis to support himself. So, he said out while still trying to maintain his calm pose yet having his eyes glittering with excitement, where in Sophia's eyes she could only see the dazzling angel-like Eugene with a sweet smile, “Sure, I will give it a try.’’

“Good, the work to be a songwriter’s assistant is not complicated. After all, you are good at writing songs too as well as you have been working as the temporary lyricist of the most famous band of our university back then. I remember the songs you wrote that time was so famous and those guys in the band wanted to hire you to be their permanent lyricist yet you deny their request as you wanted to focus on your studies. In fact, you now sing in the café some time as their part-time singer. I think you can do it easily. Moreover, the songwriter is really a gorgeous lady who is kind of compared with angels and goddesses due to her mesmerising beauty.”, Sofia said out excitedly grabbing her drink again but the excitement vanished into thin air in no time while there was a bit of worry as well as hesitation in her words beside her carefree aura was overpowered by a sudden tension when she added while playing with the straw of her drink after tying her shoulder-length dark blonde hair into a ponytail, “As well as she is a little bit weird. I know that you are in need of money though you never say it directly to me. Only because of this I am offering this job to you. Otherwise, would never let you work with a weirdo.”

Finally, the hesitation in her eyes from the moment she suggested the job offer came to light which got Eugene at a bit of loss too yet considering about the pay and his best friend’s determination to help him and also not to make Sofia more worried about him Eugene said out cheerfully, “Don’t worry. I will manage.”

“Moreover a lady like a goddess??? Maybe what if she is the one in those dreams… I can’t miss to check it if even I don’t take the job…”, Eugene who was hit by the sudden thoughts took a sip from his hot chocolate while Sofia was busy chattering about some other topics.

But at the present Eugene who came out from the world of his memories freaked out in his thoughts while cursing himself, “Damn me… That time I was excited by what Sofia said and accepted it casually not giving a second thought, taking it as a perfect solution not to worry her more about me beside keeping myself away from struggling to find jobs after job continuously to get rid of my financial crisis but now I am regretting it the most.”

 He held his silent tears while his inner self was banging his head hard on the wall, “Moreover, I came here without knowing the name of the person I am going to work with. In the excitement, I really forget to ask her name from Sofia. How dumb I am!!!”

“But when I think about it again and again I don’t really have an option but to accept the job offer. Sofia would never push me into a mess. After all, she is the only one by my side to console me whenever I am sad and broken as well as she never abandoned me when I was passing through the direst time of my life. My one and only best friend who is closer to me than a family member, she is indeed like a blood sister to me besides being my life saviour my dear Sofia…”, Eugene took the elevator to head to the apartment of that lyricist after reaching to the address given by Sofia.

“The closure I am getting to the workplace the more nervous I am. I can do this. There is no return from here as I have already received the advance payment. Damn… This is not that easy as I thought. Moreover, Sofia is the one who offered me this job which means she put much trust in me. I have to do it at least to live up to her trust. Fighting Eugene. You can do it…”, Eugene took a deep breath closing his eyes to gather some courage while battling with his negative discouraging thoughts.

“She must be a kind lady, not some kind of weird witch or man-eater.”, he illustrated various persona in his mind to be his boss where at a certain point getting tired of his imaginations of his boss tobe he shook away all stressing clouds around him while hoping for the best with his finger crossed. “Nothing to worry about. Everything will be fine. Moreover, I am here to find if she is the one I am searching for... So, I have to do this.”

After stepping out of the elevator, he took small steps near the apartment's main door he was asked to go to while being more stuffed with nervousness.

Then considering a bit more, he anxiously pressed the doorbell and tightly gripped the handle of his knapsack to suppress his nervousness that was when a sweet feminine soft voice came from the opposite of the door questioning, “Who is it???”

“I am the new personal assistant.”, Eugene replied while trying to maintain the calmness in his voice not letting the anxiety hit his words.

“Come in.”, that same voice reached out to him through the door.

Though he didn’t see the person who was exchanging words with him as he was out of the door yet that voice was gentle and soothing enough which was felt as if honey was poured into his ears to calm his that messing nervous system.

He walked into the house opening the door to be amazed by the view presented in front of him. A young lady was sitting on the sofa dashing out fixing her downcasted eyes on the floor who was so gorgeous and charming to be true.

As only her perfect side profile was exposed towards him because of her sitting posture facing to the side all what he could see was her well-defined sharp jaw was standing out mightily while her perfect thin straight nose like the tip of a candle was also stealing the show.

 And the manor she was sitting there it was like a sculptor placed on that sofa to be admired its perfection and with the way of her dressing with white long sleeves cinched waist off-shoulder top exposing her perfect shoulders and her attractive beauty bones along with the up to knee-length black skirt having her pretty sexy legs standing out more no doubt she was someone into fashion with high taste as well as was someone good at flaunting her perfect sexy body.
