Genevieve couldn’t help but feel uneasy when her ex-husband, Anthony, showed up with a giant rocking horse for their son, Ethan. It wasn’t like Anthony to be so generous without a hidden motive. While Ethan was overjoyed with his new toy, Genevieve’s gut told her something wasn’t right. Her suspicions grew stronger when Anthony canceled their planned pizza outing at the last minute.
For days, Ethan played endlessly with the rocking horse, but soon, strange clicking noises started coming from it. At first, Genevieve thought it was just part of the toy’s mechanism, but the sounds became louder and more frequent. One evening, curiosity got the better of her, and she decided to inspect the horse more closely. That’s when she found a small, concealed compartment—and inside was a voice recorder.
It didn’t take long for Genevieve to piece things together. Anthony had planted the device to gather evidence against her, likely to use in a custody battle. Anger surged through her, but she quickly composed herself and called her lawyer. Her attorney reassured her that any recordings obtained this way would be inadmissible in court. With a plan forming in her mind, Genevieve recorded hours of meaningless TV static onto the device, rendering it useless.
When Anthony returned to retrieve the recorder during his next visit, Genevieve watched silently, knowing he’d find nothing but noise. He never brought it up again, signaling his quiet surrender. For Genevieve, it was a victory not just for herself, but for her son. She vowed to remain watchful, determined to protect Ethan no matter what challenges lay ahead.
