Where Destiny Forgot Us 27 Summary

Vivian Bennett’s life is shattered when her mother is brutally killed after her employer, Diana Schuyler, throws her off a building over a trivial mistake. Despite receiving a large condolence check from Diana, Vivian rejects it and involves the police, determined to seek justice. However, the situation escalates when her father is captured and suspended over a tank filled with deadly piranhas, with his life used as leverage to force Vivian to sign an agreement.

 

Vivian’s husband, Charles Foster, who is revealed to be Diana’s ex-husband, coldly pressures her to comply, prioritizing his son’s connection to Diana over the lives of Vivian’s family. Despite Vivian’s desperate pleas and moral arguments, Charles gives her a strict ultimatum, showing his willingness to sacrifice her family to protect Diana. Torn between love, betrayal, and despair, Vivian ultimately signs the agreement, feeling defeated and heartbroken.

 

Just as Vivian believes her father will be saved, the guards suddenly cut the rope, sending him plummeting into the piranha-infested tank. Vivian’s anguished screams fill the air as she watches her father being devoured alive. Diana, revealing her cruel nature, taunts Vivian with the horrific scene, deepening the unbearable grief and loss that now consume her.

 

In the span of two days, Vivian loses both her parents to Diana’s ruthless vengeance. Overwhelmed by sorrow and betrayal, she collapses, broken and devastated, as Diana’s merciless presence looms over her, intensifying the emotional torment. The chapter ends with Vivian trapped in a nightmare of loss and cruelty, facing the harsh reality of Diana’s deadly power.

Just because her mother had forgotten to peel the cherry tomatoes in a simple salad, Vivian Bennett’s employer had thrown her off the thirtieth floor. The impact shattered her skull instantly—she died on the spot, without a chance to cry out.

At the funeral, the employer sent a check for ten million dollars as a gesture of condolence.

But Vivian tore the check into pieces without a second thought and immediately contacted the police.

She never anticipated that the very next day, her father would be found suspended upside down over a transparent tank, teeming with dozens of ravenous piranhas.

“If you want to save your father, just sign the agreement. Don’t make things difficult for Diana—and I won’t make it difficult for your dad,” a cold voice said.

Her husband of three years, Charles Foster, casually placed a pen on the document.

Only then did Vivian realize the horrifying truth—her mother’s employer was none other than Diana Schuyler, Charles’s ex-wife.

And Charles, the man she had married, was willing to risk the lives of her entire family just to protect Diana.

“What if I refuse to sign?” Vivian’s teeth chattered as her voice trembled with desperation. “Are you really going to let my mother’s death be in vain—and have my father killed—just to cover up a murderer?”

There was a flicker in Charles’s dark eyes, something she couldn’t quite read. “Vivian, no matter how many mistakes she’s made, she’s still the mother of my son.”

“Your parents have lived long enough,” he continued coldly. “But my son can’t grow up without his mother. So don’t blame me.”

He tapped the table twice with his long fingers, and the rope holding her father dropped another two meters.

Vivian shook her head in hopelessness. “Charles Foster, I could go to court and ask for leniency for her! I’m only asking for justice—why is that too much?”

Charles fell silent for a moment. Then his lips pressed into a hard, unyielding line. “You have forty-five seconds.”

Her heart clenched painfully. Was it really his son who couldn’t live without Diana—or was it Charles himself?

She had known, even before marrying him, just how cruel and manipulative Diana was.

But Charles was obsessed—with the poisonous rose he had nurtured with his own hands.

Vivian never imagined he would abandon all sense of morality just to protect the woman who had once betrayed him so deeply.

Resigned, she picked up the pen and signed her name, tears blurring her vision.

Mom, I’m sorry…

You were right. I could never win against Diana.

She was the rose he had cultivated with years of love and hatred. They shared a child, shared blood—a bond that would last a lifetime.

I’ve lost.

The moment her pen lifted from the paper, Charles snatched the agreement and rushed to his car to make a call. “Well done, Vivian. Dad’s safe.”

Vivian staggered toward the tank in the corner of the dimly lit warehouse. “Did you hear that? Let him go!”

Just moments before, she had received a message from her godmother.

Her mother’s lifelong friend had pulled some strings—soon, she and her father would disappear from Ridgewood forever.

The masked men guarding the tank were about to release the rope when, suddenly, it was slashed.

Her father plunged straight into the tank.

The hungry piranhas swarmed over him before he could even scream. Seconds later—

“No… No! Dad! Dad!!!” Vivian’s scream tore through the silence, raw and unrecognizable.

One of the masked guards removed their mask, revealing Diana’s stunning yet venomous face. “Vivian Bennett, how does it feel… watching your father die right before your eyes?”

In just two days, both her parents were gone. The overwhelming grief crushed her, threatening to shatter her completely. Her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the cold floor, her voice hoarse and broken. “Why… wasn’t killing my mother enough? Why couldn’t you let my father live?”

Diana crouched beside her, those crimson nails digging mercilessly into Vivian’s cheek.
