Fontaine Khaled
This central character is a whirlwind! She is flamboyant and audacious, and she has good ideas, but she has a dark side too. She is a sexual deviant who enjoys dragging her husband's name through the mud by cheating with anyone she wants. She also hires Tony Blake on the condition that he be her lover and be ready for her whenever she wants him. She is like a pimp, but she doesn't manage the details of her affairs, so Tony plots a way to trick her into a business scheme.
Benjamin Khaled
Benjamin Khaled is a businessman. When his wife suggested that he lend her money to start a business, he decided it could be good for her, and he imagined her having fun, but he probably didn't expect the full blown, lavish displays of wealth she is known for in her club. She also cheats on him, which, when Benjamin finds out, he doesn't get vengeance or anything; he just finds himself a super model for himself.
Tony Blake
Tony is a businessman too. But he isn't like Benjamin exactly, because Tony is clever and detail oriented. His business is microscopic in nature. He gives Fontaine what she wants sexually, at least for a while, before setting his sights on her step-daughter. He also plans a scheme to use the Khaled fortune to open a club of his own, and he has cleverly written them out of power in that new endeavor. He is a sneaky fellow.
Alexandra
Alexandra is Fontaine's young adult step-daughter who is very desirable to Tony. Fontaine has a touchy relationship with her, because she is the daughter of Benjamin from another relationship, so Alexandra both does and doesn't have to listen to Fontaine. Tony likes that Alexandra is powerful in her own way, but Alexandra is also clever and manipulative. She plots a full-blown exploit of Tony's interests.
