Qualitative Inquiry Research Design: Choosing Among Five Approaches

“Please don’t hurt me, I will do anything you want me to, I will not tell anyone anything. I swear on my life, I don’t want to die please” I pleaded, it was the least I could do in a situation like this. After all that I had seen, I knew I was nothing to him than just another body that he could drop dead. I closed my eyes hoping and praying that he would spare my life. “Anything?” I hear him say and I open my eyes immediately. Was he accepting my offer, was he going to spare my life. He was already standing in front of me, I had to tilt my head backwards a great deal to catch a glimpse of his face. “Yes anything” I nodded my head.

The night before our wedding, Jason Scott receives the cancer diagnosis of my adopted younger sister, Helena Sanderson. His expression falters, and he says indignantly, "We'll cancel the wedding tomorrow, Victoria. Helena is very fragile now. I can't risk upsetting her at this point in time." I reply, "I don't agree with it! Why would my wedding upset her?" Jason doesn't show any displeasure after my rejection. He even thoughtfully prepares a glass of milk for me. … When I wake up the next morning, I realize the house that should be full of excitement is eerily quiet. Anxious, I dial Jason's number 99 times. He only picks up the call on my 100th try. "Where did my wedding dress and shoes go?" I ask. Jason falls silent for a moment. His tone is apologetic when he replies, "I'm sorry, Victoria. Helena wants to experience being a bride once. I can't let her leave with regrets. Please bear with this for now. I'll make it up to you once she passes away peacefully." As the line goes dead, I sit frozen on the bed, unable to recover for some time. … A month later, while Jason is on his honeymoon, I send the livestream of my wedding announcement with his rival, Frank Lawrent, directly onto his phone. Jason regrets it bitterly.

" Where do you think you are going?!" A chilly and domineering voice rang out across the room, enough to make the atmosphere heavy. Ava froze as she was about to twist the door knob. "Shit!" She cursed under her breath and slowly turned to face the monster coming for her. " Have you forgotten what I told you?!"

Until Monday morning, when his anonymous hookup steps into the conference room… as Julian Black, his new department supervisor. Julian is everything Jamie shouldn’t want—older, emotionally locked down, and strictly off-limits.

But what happens when the lines blur, and a one-night mistake becomes the one thing neither of them can walk away from? A steamy, slow-burn MM office romance filled with forbidden tension, secret glances, and the kind of chemistry that doesn’t stay buried.

Within a twink of eye he tossed me angrily on the bed, throwing his towel away, he quickly reached for my clothes ripping them off leaving me stranded only on my panties. I tried fighting him off but got slapped so many times, still I didn't give up until he pinned me down making me powerless."no!" I screamed out still struggling with him "you can't let him win" my conscience kept screaming at me. Joe stayed still enjoying the view of her struggling, groaned out in pleasure "damn your so sexy" he cussed out before devouring her. She screamed, cried and begged him to stop but it he ignored her pounding her like a wild animal till she passed out, waking up later on she found herself still naked and alone in the cold room, that was when she swore to get her revenge at all cost.

"I'll stop running away, Jago! Promise, hindi na ako tatakas!" Pagmamakaawa ko sa asawa or soon-to-be ex-husband ko kapag nakatakas ako rito. Pinilit kong makatayo sa pagkakahiga pero hindi ko kaya dahil nakagapos ang kamay ko sa headboard. "You already told me that earlier and yet, you still tried to run away from me... Hindi na gagana sa'kin 'yan..." Madilim ang ekspresyong sagot nito. Lumapit ito kaya naman napapikit ako. Naramdaman ko ang pagsikip ng tali sa kamay ko kaya napadilat ako. "Promise, totoo na talaga 'to! Tanggalin mo na yung tali, please? Natatakot na ako sa'yo!" Kinakabahang usal ko kay Jago pero hindi ito sumagot. Pumatong ito sa'kin at malambing na sinapo ang mukha ko. Impit akong napaung*l nang marahan nitong halikan ang aking leeg. Alam nito kung paano ako kunin dahil kaagad nanghina ang katawan ko sa ginawa nito. "Uhm, Jago! Please!" Hiyaw ko sa pangalan nito nang magsimulang maglandas ang kamay nito sa katawan ko. "I'll make you love me again. You're mine, Isla. You're only f*cking mine..." *********** Matapos ang pagtatalo ng mag-asawang sina Jago River Laxamana at Allona Isla Avellino ay inihagis ni Isla ang wedding ring niya kay Jago upang mapagtanto nitong seryoso siya sa kagustuhan niyang makipaghiwalay.

Walang araw na hindi nagbabangayan ang mga ito kaya hindi maayos ang kanilang relasyon. Kinidnap ni Jago si Isla. Nang magising ito ay mahimbing ang pagkakatulog ni Jago sa tabi niya. Napagtanto nitong nasa island sila kaya nagpatuloy ang bangayan nila at nagtangkang tumakas si Isla mula kay Jago. Makakatakas kaya si Isla sa asawa niyang si Jago? O magtatagumpay itong muling kuhanin ang kaniyang puso at angkinin siya?
