Chapter 1
Just because her mother forgot to peel the cherry tomatoes in a salad, Vivian Bennett’s employer pushed her off the thirtieth floor. Her skull cracked open–she died on the spot.
At the funeral, the employer sent a check worth ten million.
Vivian tore it apart without hesitation and called the police.
She never expected that the next day, her father would be suspended upside down over a transparent tank
filled with hundreds of ravenous piranhas.
“If you want to save your father, just sign the agreement. Don’t make it difficult for Diana–and I won’t make it difficult for your dad.”
Her husband of three years, Charles Foster, nonchalantly set a pen down on the document.
It was only then that Vivian realized–her mother’s employer was none other than Charles’s ex–wife, Diana
Schuyler.
And Charles, her husband, was willing to gamble her entire family’s lives–just to protect Diana.
“What if I don’t sign it?”
Vivian’s teeth were chattering, her voice trembling. “Are you really going to let my mom die in vain–and have my dad killed–just to cover for a murderer?”
There was something flickered in Charles’s dark gaze she couldn’t decipher. “Vivian, no matter how many mistakes she’s made, she’s still the mother of my son.”
“Your parents have lived long enough. 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 despair. “Charles Foster, I could ask the court to go easy for her! I’m only asking for justice–why is that too much?”
Charles fell silent for a moment, then his lips set into cold and firm. “You have forty–five seconds.”
Vivian’s heart seized. 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 vicious and manipulative Diana was.
But Charles was obsessed–with the venomous rose he’d raised with his own hands.
Vivian never imagined he would cast aside all morality–just to protect the woman who once betrayed him.
Resigned, she picked up the pen and signed her name through a blur of tears.

Mom, I’m sorry…
You were right. I could never win against Diana.
She was the rose he raised with years of love and hate. They shared a child, shared blood, and shared a bond
that would last a lifetime.
I’ve lost.
The moment her pen lifted from the page, Charles snatched the agreement and dashed to his car to make a
call. “Well done, Vivian. Dad’s safe.”
Vivian stumbled toward the tank in the corner of the warehouse. “Did you hear that? Let him go!”
