Unfortunately, this sounds like a case of stem rot due to overwatering. You'll have to take a cutting of healthy plant material, reroot it and start over. Make your cut 1/4" - 1/2" above the rot line to ensure that none of the rot is on the cutting. Then, follow the instructions at the link below to root your cutting. Please note, Peperomia leaves don't root like some other succulent leaves do, so you'll need to take a stem cutting.
Be sure that the soil you root your cutting into is well draining (1:1 bagged succulent soil and perlite) and that your pot has a drainage hole. Once the cutting roots, only water it once the soil is dry and the plant shows signs of thirst (wrinkled leaves).
