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>
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?!

The bell continued ringing, sending alarm bells buzzing in Stephanie's mind because she knew she couldn't turn away from facing Leon. He was just outside, separated by the door.

Leon usually let himself in by keying the password and scanning his palm. Stephanie hadn't changed the code nor erased his data from the security system despite what he had done.

Why didn't he try opening the door himself?

Stephanie hurriedly rushed to the entryway, seeing Leon's smiling face displayed on the intercom monitor. She ran her fingers through her hair before smoothening her dress, knowing she had to look presentable in front of him.

Opening the door, Stephanie flashed a demure smile at Leon. He arched his brows, his eyes flickering with delight once their gazes met.

Her Charade Had to be Perfect
