Brother
Elena and Brother first met several years prior to the events of Book 1: they used to work at the same firm where Elena was hired as admin and when Brother started his own firm he asked her to come with him. It is later revealed in a premium flashback scene of Book 2 that Elena convinced him to start his firm. He once spoke about it when he was drunk and when he quit his old job, Elena reminded him that he could start a firm to accept a pro bono case of domestic violence his former boss had refused.

In Book 1, Elena and Brother have a working relationship. However in Book 2, following the progress of the story, their relationship soon develops into a romantic one. In Book 2, Chapter 5, they will start participating in a couples' competition together because Aunt signed them up. In a premium scene of the same chapter, Brother and Elena are able to kiss and he can tell her the story of how everyone came to the conclusion that she was his girlfriend. Depending on preference, in Book 2, Chapter 18, the player can choose to use diamonds to unlock a romantic, intimate scene featuring the two of them at a couples' getaway island. In Chapter 19, Brother tells her that he wants to be with her.

In Book 3, they need to find proof that they have been dating for two years to get the inheritance. Brother also gets the second task to propose to her (or split up to no longer waste her time). Elena introduces him to her family and they find an email Elena sent to her mother two years ago when Elena misunderstood his invitation to a business dinner as a real date. Said misunderstanding was solved when their boss and their client Ana joined them. Dinesh accidently lets it slip in her presence that Brother has a second task but Brother is not ready to tell her yet. When he avoids her questions about the topic, she tells him he has intimacy issues. In Chapter 14, Brother can tell Elena in a premium scene that he loves her and she will admit to loving him back. As of Book 3, Chapter 18, they are engaged and can celebrate their engagement in a premium scene of the same chapter.

Brenda
Elena is Brenda's daughter. They are close and Elena told her all about Brother and the inheritance before he first meets her. Brenda tells Brother that Elena even told her about his abs, making Elena blush.

Suki
Suki is Elena's younger sister. A premium scene of Book 3, Chapter 10 reveals that several years ago, when Brother invited Elena to a business dinner, it was Suki who made Elena believe that it was a real date.
