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

There was nothing left for Declan to say. Swallowing his saliva, he quietly assessed Lariette's countenance, seeing the evident exhaustion on her face mixed with concern.

Despite facing a dangerous situation yesterday and suffering some injuries, Lariette barely showed her fear. She seemed to calm herself quickly.

Still, Declan wondered if Lariette simply put on a tough facade to show that she wasn't shaken by the mysterious man's plan albeit flawed.

"Lari, we won't let him harm you. Please don't worry about it. He won't stay free for too long."

Declan spoke with much certainty, still facing Lariette opposite him. The frown on his forehead lessened as his sapphire eyes—the ones mirroring hers—looked at her with determination.

No matter who that man was, Declan would find him. He couldn't understand why that unknown man deliberately tried harming Lariette yet, it didn't matter.
