She slowly lifted her head and tears appeared in her eyes, as she suddenly dropped to her knees. "Forgive me, Sister, I was wrong. I let my ambition cloud my judgment, and I betrayed your trust." Vivian's voice cracked as she spoke, her words laced with desperation and remorse.
Reana's expression remained unreadable, her eyes fixed on Vivian, "Oh? Did Vivian betray me?"
Vivian's eyes widened, how could she pretend to not know, when Ryan and the others were said to have confessed everything?
She swallowed. If Reana wanted to play, she too would play with her. With that, Vivian nodded fervently, tears streaming down her face.
