Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Cuando sufrí un ataque agudo de apendicitis, mis padres, mi hermano y mi prometido estaban ocupados celebrando el cumpleaños de mi hermana menor. Llamé una y otra vez desde la puerta del quirófano, buscando que algún familiar firmara el consentimiento para mi operación, pero todos colgaron sin piedad. Mi prometido, Gabriel Gómez, me envió un mensaje después de rechazar mi llamada: "No hagas berrinche, Sofía. Hoy es la fiesta de mayoría de edad de Luna. Hablemos después del banquete." Apagué el celular y firmé el consentimiento quirúrgico con calma. Era la novena y noventa vez que renunciaban a mí por Luna Ramos. Así que esta vez, soy yo quien renuncia a ellos. Ya no me duele su favoritismo. Al contrario, comencé a obedecer cada una de sus peticiones, sin cuestionar nada. Todos creyeron que por fin me había vuelto sensata. Nadie imaginaba que en realidad, me estaba preparando para desaparecer para siempre.

After I transmigrate into a Gary Stu novel as the evil male supporting lead, a system appears in my mind. It tells me that as long as I can conquer one of the female leads, I will be able to return to my original world with a healthy body. But I've failed in my conquest. There are a few female leads in this novel. There's the fake heiress, Leslie Jackman, who I have grown up with and have viewed as my older sister. The true heiress, Miranda Suller, is a boxer who happens to be seatmates with me during our high school times. My childhood sweetheart, Catherine Langdon, who's also a genius surgeon, happens to be one of the female leads too. Heck, even my own daughter, Natalie Jackman… my own flesh and blood… All of them are quick to fall for Gabriel Linner, the poor yet strong-willed young man who's also known as the Gary Stu of this novel. Because of that, they hate me deeply. The system sighs before telling me that as long as I can die in the hands of any of the female leads, it will let me return to my original world. Later on, I use all of the tricks up my sleeve and succeed in getting killed by the female leads. But why is it that they've lost their minds after I die?

“Gusto mo?” His voice was low, almost teasing, lazy yet dangerous. Sumiksik si Amanda sa kanyang dibdib, namumula ang mukha, nanginginig ang katawan habang umaatake ang kanyang kondisyon. She bit her lip, then nodded. Isang taon na siyang kasal kay Warren Garcia pero ni minsan, hindi siya hinawakan. A wife… who was never desired. Dahil doon, unti-unting nasira si Amanda.

She remarries. Choose someone else. Chooses herself. But the man who never touched her, finally breaks. Namumula ang mata, puno ng pagsisisi.. “Amanda… let’s start over. Please, don’t leave me. I’ll do anything.” She looks at him cold, unfeeling. “Sorry.” A faint smile. “I’m not interested in a useless man.”
