The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

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.

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.
