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

Declan and Rafael didn't mistake the confusion on Lariette's face. Her eyes widened slightly as her lips parted without words rolling out. She was indeed perplexed to see them there.

Ruediger, Chairman Delaney and Madeline also noticed the bewilderment expressed by Lariette. They silently glanced from her to the two brothers.

Lariette remained sitting on the bed while Declan and Rafael stood behind Ruediger. Her eyes quietly looked at them, still noting their unexpected presence in her mind.

The two brothers glanced at each other, feeling uncomfortable being stared at like that by Lariette. They had expected such a reaction but... it was still awkward.

"I called Dec before coming here," said Chairman Delaney, breaking the momentary silence between the three siblings, "He and Ray are worried about you so, they followed me here."
