THE SILK CODE - SYNOPSIS
In the shadows of post-war Bangkok's rising silk empire, Fahsuay Lyons lives two lives. By day, she moves effortlessly through the art world - cataloguing artifacts, translating history for wealthy collectors, and advising the inner circle of the powerful Thompson Silk House. By night, she serves an unnamed intelligence network, tracking foreign interests quietly flooding into Southeast Asia. Her gift is invisibility. Her rule is distance. Love is a liability she cannot afford.
Roselyn Krull, the brilliant and magnetic heir of a wealthy European family, has made Bangkok her chosen home. A celebrated art patron and later the managing partner of the legendary Oriental Hotel, she becomes one of the most influential cultural figures in the city. Through her close partnership with Alexander Thompson, founder of the silk empire, Roselyn helps shape the public face of a new Thailand - elegant, modern, and globally desired. But behind the glamour, she is fiercely private, bound by duty, legacy, and unspoken loneliness.
Their worlds collide inside the Silk House - a place of beauty, commerce, and secrets. What begins as guarded fascination becomes an unspoken intimacy sustained through glances, shared silences, and coded conversations about art, memory, and survival. Neither woman names what grows between them. They both understand the cost if anyone ever does.
As political tensions rise and foreign intelligence services tighten their grip around Bangkok's elite, Fahsuay uncovers fragments of a quiet operation hidden inside the silk trade itself. The closer she moves toward the truth, the closer she is drawn to Roselyn - and to everything she is meant to avoid. Roselyn, in turn, senses that Fahsuay lives inside a world of danger she is never allowed to enter, yet cannot remain outside of.
Their love becomes a secret code - not written, not spoken, but lived through choices that protect one another...
