Had Had Sa Balat

Scarlet Quinn Reyes, at the age of sixteen, she was infamous for being a liberated playgirl. Boyfriend here, boyfriend there. Basta mayaman at kayang ibigay ang mga luho niya, pasado na iyon sa standards niya. Para sa kaniya, ang mundo ay isang malaking playground. Kayang-kaya niyang paikutin sa palad ang mga lalaki na para bang mga laruan. Her usual targets were much older men. She faked her age, even her personality, just to get what she wanted. Not until Renzo Riku Alcantara came into the picture. He was Scarlet sister’s cousin-in-law, known for being kind and responsible. Bukod pa roon, siya rin ay ubod ng yaman at hindi rin maitatanggi ang angkin nitong kakisigan—mga katangian na nagtulak kay Scarlet para siya ang susunod na targetin. But unlike the men Scarlet had toyed with, Renzo was not swayed by her charm. Ang gusto pa nga niya ay ituwid ang landas ng dalaga para magbago ito. Nagpakakuya siya kay Scarlet, tipong halos lahat ng mga nagiging kasintahan ng dalaga ay ipinapakulong niya. Sa sobrang pagdidisiplina niya kay Scarlet, hindi niya namalayang sarili na pala niya ang dapat disiplinahin... dahil unti-unti na siyang nahuhulog sa dalaga. Ngunit pinigilan niya ang damdamin dahil bata pa ito. Nagpakalayo-layo siya. Saka lang siya bumalik noong debut party ni Scarlet. Ang kaso… buntis na ang dalaga. Ngunit iniwan siya ng tunay na ama ng dinadala niya, kaya si Renzo mismo ang umako at nagpaka-responsable sa bata. Pero sa pagbabalik ng tunay na ama, pipiliin kaya siya ni Scarlet... o mananatili siya kay Renzo?
