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 didn't let her chance encounter with Alaric bother her, unwilling to ruin her morning. She knew the man wouldn't risk causing a ruckus in his own workplace.

Alaric had more to lose if he decided to shout and taunt Lariette like how he often did in the Elsher family home. He wouldn't ever let his colleagues and subordinates see him as a bully.

"Miss Lariette Elsher, please come in."

Lariette and Ruediger had just sat on the bench chairs lining one side of the hallway when the nurse called for the former, addressing the lady using the name registered on the hospital record.

Rising to her feet, Lariette glanced at Ruediger while saying, "Wait for me here. The checkup shouldn't be long."

Even though Ruediger himself offered to accompany her today, Lariette felt bad if he had a long wait. He said he took the day off work just to chaperone her to the hospital.

No Innocent Scapegoat
