Bound to Mr.CEO
After discovering that her boyfriend of five years has been cheating on her and using the perfumes she painstakingly created to build his company, super talented perfumer Jasmine Romano is left humiliated, heartbroken, and seeks to get back at him and his lover, Flora.
At the same time, her mother falls critically ill and requires an expensive, life-saving surgery, pushing Jasmine into desperate financial straits with no one to rely on.
With hospital bills piling up and without enough money to settle them, Jasmine secretly tries to sell one of her original perfume formulas to raise money. However, Flora discovers her plan, steals the formula, and frames Jasmine for intellectual property theft, leaving her to face criminal charges and possible prison time.
Left with just one option, she turns to Jasper D’Angelo, the most powerful, and untouchable billionaire CEO in Venice , asking for his help to destroy her ex boyfriend Antonio, for his betrayal.
But she is in for a surprise and soon learns that Jasper never makes a deal without a price.
When Jasper meets her, he feels like he knows her and suspects she might be the girl who once saved his life during childhood. A girl he had never quite forgotten. Possessed with a desire to keep her close, he makes her a shocking proposal.
And his price for Jasmine’s request? For her to be his mistress. Jasmine finds the proposal humiliating. On the surface, the arrangement seems to bind her to him and place her completely under his control. But his true motive is to keep her close and protect her while uncovering the truth about their shared past.
Driven by anger and a need to reclaim her dignity, Jasmine stifles her indignation and agrees to the degrading contract with him and suddenly steps into his intimidating world of wealth, influence, and corporate warfare.
Using Jasper’s resources and her own undeniable talent, she exposes her ex’s perfume theft at a national competition, publicly reclaiming her rights to her perfume and watching his reputation crumble.
Her status suddenly rises from an overlooked lab assistant to a renowned genius in the perfume industry.
However, rumors, family pressure, and business politics soon make the “mistress” title dangerous to both their reputations. To shield her from criticism and to secure ruthless and powerful status, Jasper upgrades the arrangement into a contract marriage, turning her from the “shameful” mistress into Mrs. D’Angelo overnight.
Though their marriage begins as nothing more than a business arrangement, living under the same roof forces Jasmine and Jasper to get closer, and his quiet protectiveness, unwavering loyalty, and rare moments of gentleness slowly melt the icy walls around Jasmine’s guarded and broken heart.
Jasper continues to discover more and more details about her past, eventually confirming that she truly is the childhood girl who once saved and protected him. This deepens his attachment and makes him protective of her.
As Jasmine helps D’Angelo Inc. dominate the market with her creations, the two become a ruthless power couple.
But of course, success has a price and their success attracts jealousy, sabotage, and dangerous enemies who question her place beside him and attempt to tear them apart.
Old accusations about her “theft” resurface, rivals leak false evidence, and some even threaten to reopen the criminal case that once nearly sent her to prison.
Amid scandals, leaked formulas, and old resurfacing rivals, Jasmine begins to see the lonely, wounded man behind Jasper’s ruthless exterior, and what started as revenge gradually turns into trust, then desire, and finally love.
And when the threats against Jasper begin to grow, Jasmine tries to distance herself to protect him, triggering a painful separation that makes them both realize their bond is no longer a contract but something neither of them can live without.
In the end, they reunite to crush their enemies, completely destroy her ex’s empire,
