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

"Not even crumbs were left! Hehe, they even say they'll eat everything you make later."

Ruediger chuckled as he listened to Lariette talking about how her colleagues, including the principal, gushed over his desserts. They had just left the school after handing Bill his portion.

"I'm so honored, you know?" Ruediger said in between his laughter, the glint in his emerald eyes softening, "Seems like they're impressed by Teacher Lariette Elsher's new husband."

"Hehehe," Lariette chuckled, her smile cheeky, "Of course! All of them said I got married to a good man."

Ruediger's smile deepened upon hearing Lariette's exclamation. What she said made him happy enough no matter what the true nature of their marriage was.

"I've made lunch. You shall eat before you rest or something," said Ruediger once they reached the apartment. The air-conditioned lobby helped to chase the scorching summer heat away.
