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.

After>

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

Since when is her husband a billionaire?!

Heiress' Househusband is a Secret Billionaire

<.A city in Norvonna, almost twenty years ago.>

Ruediger was as young as twelve when he followed Felicia and Madeline to Norvonna. Despite being heartbroken over the situation at home, he knew nothing would change Matthew's mind.

His father loathed his existence. The man wanted to see him no more.

Most likely, his father would be happy if he ended up dead.

On the very first day when Felicia and Madeline welcomed Ruediger to their abode, the former sat him down. She had something to say to him.

"You're more than a nephew to me, Rudy. I'll take care of you as how I do to Maddie. You can rely on me."

That was what Felicia told the anxious Ruediger, her gaze and voice full of maternal warmth as she tried to reassure him. Her blue eyes reflected the same hues as her beloved daughter.

"Thank you, Aunt Felicia... Thank you."
