"I'm telling you that I have extraordinary perseverance. I can live as long as I still have a single breath left in me, and I will find a chance to escape. Therefore, what I meant is that you might as well just kill me now! Otherwise, you'll have endless regrets!"
Malvolio was speechless. He finally understood Sabrina's intentions. She did not want to escape or negotiate with him. She just wanted him to kill her as soon as possible. That was because she did not want t o be held hostage by him on the island and suffer all kinds of humiliations. He looked at this woman who was hellbent on wanting to die. In fact, such a woman was not afraid of being humiliated. She was afraid of... Yes! She was afraid if she was alive, her husband would not dare to be vicious to Malvolio. If she was still alive, her husband would certainly compromise with Malvolio because he wanted to rescue her out. Yes! She chose to die in order to protect her husband who was far away in South City!
In an instant, a wave of jealousy surged through Malvolio's body. At that moment, he also finally understood why Sebastian loved Sabrina so much and treated her as his pillar of strength! Such a woman was willing to die for the sake of letting her man live well and not be forced into coercion. Which man would not cherish her? Which man would not love her?
Malvolio loved such a woman as well. It was only that he had never met such a woman that he was satisfied with. However, he has met one then. So what if her heart did not belong to him? He could slowly make her warm up to him. One day, she would warm up to him. So what if she had been married to another man before? Malvolio did not care about that. He only cared for this woman's heart. So what if she was already pregnant? In any case, whatever Holden could do, Malvolio could do better! He simply wanted this woman's heart
With this woman's heart, it was as if Malvolio had a mainstay. From then on, his heart that battled the world would never be without support and would no longer be lonely. Maybe many years later, when he had made a name for himself, they would be surrounded by their children and grandchildren, and just like Sebastian then, they would be admired by millions.
After he had planned that in his mind, Malvolio locked Sabrina up in the small dark room. He was not trying to torture her. He just wanted to smooth her ruffled feathers and let her calm down. Also, he had to keep a close eye on her. Malvolio wanted to force Sebastian to submit to him, and he wanted Sebastian t o bow his head to him and surrender. Therefore, he had to use Sabrina as blackmail. That was why Malvolio could only lock Sabrina in the small dark room first. Also, he wanted to use this opportunity to observe and see what kind of reaction Sabrina, who
was locked in the small dark room, has.
Sabrina had no clue that Malvolio was observing her from outside the small dark room. She only knew that the only thing she could do in this small pitch-black room was to make herself calm and composed. She sat on the bed and touched her belly with both her arms to silently sooth the child in her belly. She murmured softly and gently, "Baby, you have to be good in mom's belly. Don’t be anxious to come out, alright? I certainly will wait until I get on land and until I have your dad accompanying me, then only I will give birth to you, alright? Be good."
The door was forcefully swung open. A beam of light shone in, and then a male voice said with jealousy, ' Sabrina, that's enough!"
