One word to describe Anniza Gonzales: voluptuous. And because of her voluptuous body, her fiancé cheated on her and the woman he cheated with called her an ugly fat duckling. Hindi lang puso niya ang nasaktan kundi pati ang pride niya bilang isang babae. Kaya ng gabing nalaman niya na niloloko lang siya ng kaniyang fiancé, pumunta siya sa isang bar at nilunod niya ang sarili sa alak. That night, Anniza was so down, hurt, in pain and depressed, then she came across Dark Montero. The handsome bastard who shamelessly kissed her in front of so many people. Sa sobrang kalasingan niya, naulit ang halik na nauwi sa mainit na pagtatalik. Saka lang niya na-realize na mali ang ginawa niya ng magising siya kinabukasan at wala na ang kalasingan niya. So Anniza did the most reasonable thing to do. She ran. At napatunayan ni Anniza na ang kasabihang 'you can run, but you can't hide' ay totoo. Dahil kahit saan siya tumakbo, naroon si Dark at naghihintay sa kanya para akitin siya. Maniniwala ba siyang iba si Dark sa manloloko niyang fiancé? Hahayaan ba niya ang puso na mahalin ang isang makisig at guwapong lalaki na alam naman niyang hindi bagay sa kagaya niyang ugly fat duckling? O babaguhin niya ang sarili niya para maging bagay siya rito? CECELIB | C.C. WARNING: MATURE CONTENT | P-18 COMPLETED
