When Genevieve’s ex-husband, Anthony, brought their son a giant rocking horse, her instincts told her something was off. Anthony never acted without an agenda, especially when it involved their son, Ethan. Genevieve was immediately on edge, but she kept her concerns to herself.Ethan was thrilled with the new toy, as always. But Genevieve couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to this gift. Anthony’s sudden change of plans, canceling their pizza outing, only deepened her suspicion.

Over the next few days, Ethan was inseparable from the rocking horse. Then, strange noises began emanating from the toy. At first, Genevieve dismissed it, but the clicking sound grew louder and more persistent. One night, she investigated and discovered a hidden compartment in the horse. Inside was a tiny voice recorder. The realization hit her hard—Anthony was trying to gather evidence against her to challenge their custody arrangement. Furious but determined, Genevieve knew she needed to outsmart him. She contacted her lawyer, who assured her that any evidence gathered this way wouldn’t hold up in court. With renewed determination, Genevieve set a trap. She filled the recorder with hours of mundane TV noise, ensuring it would be useless to Anthony. When he retrieved the device during his next visit, Genevieve watched with satisfaction, knowing he would find nothing of value. Anthony never mentioned the incident, a silent admission of defeat. Genevieve had successfully protected her son and outwitted her ex-husband. It was a small victory, but it reinforced her resolve to stay vigilant. She knew she would do whatever it took to keep her son safe and happy, now and always.
