When Genevieve’s ex-husband, Anthony, brought their son, Ethan, a giant rocking horse, her gut feeling immediately screamed that something was wrong.
Anthony wasn’t the kind of man who did anything without a hidden motive, especially when it came to their son. Even though her instincts were telling her to be cautious, Genevieve decided to keep her worries to herself.
Ethan, as expected, was thrilled with his new toy. He spent hours playing with it, his laughter filling the house. But despite Ethan’s joy, Genevieve couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something more to this gift. When Anthony suddenly canceled their planned pizza outing, it only made her suspicions grow stronger.
As the days went by, Ethan became glued to the rocking horse. He rode it constantly, making it his new favorite pastime. But then, Genevieve started hearing strange noises coming from the toy.
At first, she thought it was just the sound of old wood creaking under Ethan’s weight. But the noise wasn’t normal; it was a distinct clicking sound that grew louder and more frequent.
One night, when she couldn’t ignore the noise any longer, Genevieve decided to take a closer look. What she found sent a chill down her spine. Inside the horse, hidden in a secret compartment, was a tiny voice recorder.
Suddenly, everything clicked into place—Anthony was trying to spy on her, likely to gather evidence to use against her in their custody battle over Ethan.
Genevieve felt a surge of anger, but she was determined not to let Anthony win. She quickly contacted her lawyer, who reassured her, saying, “Any evidence gathered this way would be thrown out of court.”
Armed with this knowledge, Genevieve came up with a clever plan. She decided to fill the recorder with hours of boring TV noise, ensuring that whatever Anthony hoped to hear would be completely useless.
When Anthony came over for his next visit, he casually retrieved the hidden recorder from the rocking horse. Genevieve watched him closely, keeping her satisfaction to herself. She knew that Anthony would find nothing valuable on the device. He didn’t say a word about it, silently admitting that his sneaky plan had failed.
Genevieve had protected her son and outsmarted her ex-husband. It was a small victory, but it gave her the strength to stay vigilant. She knew that she would do anything to keep her son safe and happy, now and always.
