FRANK I stood there in front of the entire room, my heart racing in my chest, every breath sharp, shallow. The weight of my confession felt like it was suffocating me, but I knew I had no choice but to speak the truth.

He recorded himself writing. When finished writing, Boston showed the results of his writing to the video camera. "For everyone. I am sorry. I am guilty. I confess all the crimes I committed. What I have confessed before the police is the truth and I have written it down on this paper as well. Underneath I signed it. Again, I'm sorry, "Boston said. He then turned off the camera.

“My confession deeply hurt her, boss. I’m sorry.” Viaan’s admission echoed through the room, his voice laced with regret. The weight of his actions weighed heavily on his conscience.

You don’t have to apologize.”

The eleven days that were now counting down. The facts stayed the same. But the shape of the telling would be different. The confession version started with my guilt; I have done something wrong and I am telling you before you find out another way. I am sorry.

It didn't excuse anything. It simply acknowledged it. "Did you kill Samuel?" "No." The answer came instantly. Without hesitation. "Did you try to?" "No."

"I'll do anything." Something inside me twisted. "Anything?" She nodded. I smiled slowly. "Then leave the convent." Her eyes widened, but I wasn't done. "Confess everything." I watched her struggle to breathe. "Tell everyone what you've done. Tell them about Adrian. Tell them about the vows you've broken. Tell them who you really are." Adrian's voice became firm. "Stop." I ignored him. "Do that, and maybe I'll think about deleting the video."

I`d rather go alone if that`s the case. As I pleaded under oath, I had made up my mind that I`m gonna tell nothing but the truth. Even if I had to tell them what they want to hear, even if I have to lie. So be it! “Mastermind…” he sighed, “I hate to call an innocent child like you with that name.
