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>

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 thought an earthquake woke her up. Turned out it was Madeline.

"Lari! Quick! Wake up! It's an emergency!"

Lariette jolted awake from her nap, heart pounding as the world seemed to shake. Blinking her eyes repeatedly, her disoriented mind finally registered Madeline shaking her shoulders.

Madeline's hands gripped Lariette's shoulders tightly. Her voice was laden with urgency.

"Come on! Wake up! Your grandpa called for you!"

Abruptly sitting up, Lariette almost jumped out of bed upon hearing Madeline's mention of her grandfather. She quickly rubbed her eyes, the lingering drowsiness vanished instantly.

"Did something happen to my grandpa? Where is he? What..."

Madeline quickly calmed Lariette down. She didn't forget to drag her friend out of the bed. Securing her hands on Lariette's arms, Madeline made sure her friend didn't stumble on the floor.

Happy Birthday, Lariette
