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

Lariette opened the door once Damien was dragged away by the guards, inviting Mr. Hayes inside. Her gleeful countenance upon witnessing the trashy man's humiliating exit replaced the previous worry.

"Good morning, Ms. Elsher," greeted Mr. Hayes upon seeing Lariette. His eyes wandered to the crimson-haired man standing by the lady, "Is this gentleman your husband?"

Mr. Hayes noticed Lariette bringing up her husband during their phone call. He found a new addition under the young lady's residential records when briefly checking them earlier.

"Yes, this is my husband," Lariette nodded softly, gesturing at Ruediger, "Ruediger Alvord. We've just gotten married."

Ruediger let out soft chuckles. He reached out a hand, offering to shake hands with Mr. Hayes, "Hello, Mr. Hayes. Thank you for your swift action just now. You've helped us."
