Lead. A young woman born into the Hill family who was married to Matt Rogen as part of a family arrangement two years ago. At the beginning of the story, she learns she has terminal cancer with only six months to live, which completely changes her outlook on life.
Lead. The CEO of Rogen Group and founder of DE Jewelry, Matt is the illegitimate son of the Rogen patriarch. He returned to the Rogen family five years ago and quickly rose to prominence with his business acumen. Initially distant and cold toward Jayne, whom he believes was forced upon him as a spy by his stepmother Pam, Matt gradually warms to her changed personality and begins to develop genuine feelings for her.
Supporting. Matt's vindictive stepmother who arranged his marriage to Jayne, hoping to place a spy in his household. Bitter about Matt's father having loved another woman (Matt's mother), Pam is determined to prevent Matt from taking control of the Rogen Group.
Supporting. Matt's supportive cousin who initially shares the family's suspicion of Jayne but comes to respect and care for her as she changes and proves her loyalty to Matt. He serves as a confidant to both Matt and Jayne at different points, eventually revealing to Jayne that Matt was her bone marrow donor. Reid provides comic relief throughout the story while also being the voice of reason when Matt pushes himself too hard for Jayne's sake.
Supporting. Initially presented as Jayne's friend, Greta is revealed to be a manipulative social climber who only befriended Jayne to get closer to Matt. When Jayne discovers her true intentions through an overheard phone conversation, she deliberately injures Greta during an archery lesson, causing damage to her eye. Greta's public humiliation and subsequent emotional breakdown expose her true character to everyone, including her own family.
Supporting. An ambitious employee at Rogen Group who actively misrepresents herself as Matt's wife during a company event in Seattle. Arrogant and manipulative, she bullies Jayne without realizing who she actually is, going as far as physically shoving her and causing her to fall.
