Windy City Wives: The Kept Wife

By Grace Walter

he women of 1400 Lake Shore Drive share a few things in common: billions in the bank, dirty little secrets, and sometimes each other’s husbands. Part time billionaire wife, part time photographer, yogi, madam, mistress...these women are quite adventurous behind their closed doors.

The heat between Mark and Olivia had fizzled over the years until a few racy purchases with his black AMEX paired with her tallest Jimmy Choo heels suddenly turns everything around. Good thing their son is at boarding school and isn’t around to catch his parents being naughty.
