Which term describes a situation in story that has result much different from what the audience and character expect?

The term you're looking for is irony.

There are a few different types of irony that can be used in storytelling:

* Situational irony: This is when the outcome of a situation is the opposite of what was expected. For example, a fire station burning down.

* Dramatic irony: This is when the audience knows something that the characters in the story do not. For example, in a horror movie, the audience might know that the killer is hiding in the closet, but the character in the story doesn't.

* Verbal irony: This is when someone says something that means the opposite of what they actually mean. For example, saying "Oh, great!" when something bad happens.

All of these types of irony can create surprise and suspense in a story, and can help to make the story more memorable for the audience.
