The Reins

He felt important when he was with her. She made him feel like “The King”. The one in control, the one in charge, the one whose decision mattered. She bowed to him. She followed him. She made him happy. She served him—all that he desired and craved for. He felt powerful, undefeatable, Victorious!

He knew—She was weak. He knew—She couldn’t survive without him. He knew—without him, she would be lost. He never acknowledged her strength. He believed she was vulnerable and breakable. And… She never gave him a chance to think otherwise.

Little did he know, she chose to be the weaker one. Little did he know that she wanted him to believe in a story—where she survived, she existed, only because he was by her side.

She did it to give him—the Power, the Strength, and most importantly, the illusion of being the one who Ruled.

Little did he know, She held the reins.
