John came downstairs and turned to Matilda. “I’m not sure when I’ll be back tonight, so lock the windows and doors carefully.”
“Don’t worry,” she assured, and he left with Logan.
Both of them arrived at Logan’s clubhouse, which was a huge place with a basement in the backyard. It was in the corner, and a flower stand was placed next to it. A few flower pots stood around it, hiding the entrance to the basement located under the tree.
…
As it was already nighttime and this area was not open to guests, it was a little dark in the yard. Logan hadn’t instructed anyone to install any lighting here for the sole reason that the basement was meant for sneaky businesses.
The entrance to the basement was covered with a wood plank, and a huge flower pot stood on top of it, but it was moved aside now. When the plank was removed, the entrance, which looked like a well with a rope ladder on the side, was revealed.
It was pitch black inside, but John took a step down without hesitation with Logan following behind. About seven feet deep into the ground, they landed, and John whisked out his cell phone for light. The place was quite spacious, and after scanning around with light, he found the person he was looking for—a man thrown to the floor with his hands tied to his back.
Logan turned on the only light source in the basement, which was a low wattage light that emitted a dim lighting, casting an eerie atmosphere to the place.
Looking around, John saw that there was nothing in this basement, so he hoisted the man up and propped him against the wall in a sitting position.
They didn’t know if that man had fallen asleep or passed out earlier, but he slowly opened his eyes after being shaken. With his eyes half-opened, he tried to adjust to the light in the room.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
