Weakling? [Bonus]

[A/N: I'm back, y'all! After settling all my private had financial issues to some extent, I finally have enough time to start the Castle Bonus Chapters Mass release! Here's 1/34!]

Hugo strolled back into his dorm room with the confidence of a man who had just finessed life itself.

He had done it. He had tricked Collins.

And not just any trick. It was a masterclass deception, a work of art, a stroke of pure genius.

The way he had slowly guided Collins into his trap, the way he had finessed that number out of him without the guy even realizing until it was too late.

It was simply beautiful.

He was a damn genius!

If there was a PhD in shameless manipulation, Hugo deserved honorary recognition.

And the best part was that he felt absolutely no shame.

Zero. None.

Not even a tiny drop of guilt. Hell, if anything, he felt proud!

Because at the end of the day, this was Collins' fault!
