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.

Lariette: Aren't you just... a househusband?

Since when is her husband a billionaire?!

Heiress' Househusband is a Secret Billionaire

As promised, Ruediger and Lariette headed to the grocery store around four in the afternoon. Both of them woke up earlier from their nap, all eager to go shopping together.

"Should we go on foot? It's just nearby," suggested Lariette as they walked out of the elevator.

"Yup! We can take some fresh air," Ruediger quickly agreed.

The grocery store was within walking distance. The estimated time was less than ten minutes on foot. Because they don't plan to buy so many things at one go, they didn't need to use any vehicle.

Dressed casually in thin yet comfortable clothes, Ruediger and Lariette stepped out of Lumina Spring's gate. The golden hues of the summer afternoon greeted them.

The dazzling sun hung low, casting long shadows on the bustling street. Lariette and Ruediger heard the distant laughter from the nearby park, coming from the children playing.
