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

<.Chairman Delaney's private villa.>

A quiet Lariette stared at the two unexpected guests who appeared past midnight, Declan and Rafael. She really couldn't believe her eyes.

Declan and Rafael... come here? At such hours? Why?

Surprise still overtook her heart even after their grandfather invited the two men inside the room. She blankly nodded at them when they greeted her.

Declan and Rafael shared the same couch. From how immaculately they dressed—in neatly pressed, tailored tuxedos—Lariette didn't have to ask to know from where they came.

Declan and Rafael most likely came from the glamorous birthday celebration for Stephanie. In such getups, the brothers looked so out of place because the others were in their nightwear.

Chairman Delaney occupied a single-seater couch, also looking at Declan and Rafael. Frowning slightly, questions were evidently swirling in his eyes.
