Despite being betrayed by her boyfriend, the neglected heiress Lariette Elsher is still forced to marry him – all because her family wants to appease the fake daughter. The one she was switched at birth with.

Screw this! She's done playing nice!

Devasted and enraged, Lariette seeks her friend's help – to pick the best man at her butler cafe to be her contracted husband. 

Enter Ruediger Alvord, infamously known as the poor outcast of the Alvord family, the Elsher's family nemesis. He proposes to be Lariette's partner-in-crime, to wreak havoc in both families.

While Lariette is busy getting her revenge, she fails to notice her contracted husband's strange behavior. She also fails to recognize him from a distant past.

Before>
Ruediger: I have nothing much on my name but, I can be a good househusband.
Lariette: It's okay. I can feed you.

After>
Ruediger: Do you want that house? It's nothing much. Only one billion.
Lariette: Aren't you just... a househusband?

Since when is her husband a billionaire?!

Heiress' Househusband is a Secret Billionaire

"What's he doing here? How did he get into this building?"

Ruediger cursed under his breath, his voice dangerously low. He quickly stood up, causing the chair to screech on the tiles.

"I don't know..." Lariette shook her head, thinking of the possibilities, "Maybe... he sneaked inside?"

Lumina Spring's security was generally good, but Lariette knew Damien might find a way in. Aside from sneaking in, he might steal a staff member's access card or even bribe one.

"LARIETTE! I know you're inside! Open this damn door!"

Damien's continuous angry shouts and ringing ruined the peaceful ambiance in the apartment. He also banged repeatedly on the door, sounding like he was trying to break it down.

Lariette inwardly cursed Damien with every name that existed under the sun. She hoped to have a tranquil morning after the previous night's chaos but, this trash came to bother her instead.
