She discovers he is still tormented by his beautiful mother Corinne\u2019s \"abandonment\" of him when he was five and that it was Olivia's plain looks and money that attracted him to her due to his hatred of beautiful women. When exploring the house, she discovers the Swan Room that belonged to Malcolm\u2019s mother and has been kept as a shrine to her. When Malcolm discovers her in the room, they finally consummate the marriage, an act that could be considered more of an attack than an act of love; Malcolm saying his mother's name as they finish. Olivia wants to scream but doesn't, trying to save their humiliation from the servants. Nine months later, Olivia gives birth to a boy, Malcolm, who is generally referred to as Mal so it would be easier to distinguish between him and his father. Two years later, she gives birth to a second son, Joel, after which she cannot have any more children. Malcolm ignores the boys for the rest of their lives because he can\u2019t have a perfect daughter to remind him that all beautiful women are wicked and deceitful."@en . .
