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

Nathaniel didn't bother Ruediger, Lariette and Madeline for too long but, his gesture made an impact on the guests, especially the Elshers and the Silveras.

"We should have a meal together before I go back tomorrow afternoon. How about brunch tomorrow?"

Nathaniel's husky voice verbalized his desire as his brown eyes darted from Ruediger to Lariette. He acted as if he didn't notice countless pairs of eyes staring at them.

Lariette refrained from laughing at the sight of Ruediger glaring at the unbothered Nathaniel. She nodded softly, agreeing with the ebony-haired man.

"That's lovely. Tristan is here too. We should host you two tomorrow, Mr. Nathaniel. Perhaps, in my grandfather's villa. Maddie stays with us there as well."

A light smirk was drawn on Nathaniel's eyes. Tristan made a quiet 'hooray' gesture with his fist, his whole face beaming as he looked happily at Lariette.
