UPDATE (March 2022): I am currently in the process of setting up the new website and migrating all the chapters. I'm also doing a bit of reviewing/editing/rewriting of each chapters. I may not be able to write a new chapter in time for the launching of the new website, but we shall see.
I will keep you updated as the process progresses.
Thank you all.

UPDATE (Feb 2022): Hello everyone. First of all, thank you so much for the love and support you have shown for this story. I have taken some time off to take care of the "situation" and plan out future steps. I don't want to elaborate too much on what's going on behind the scenes, but what I will say is... things are in "motion".
Regarding the story's future, I have decided not to use this site anymore. I have looked into other platforms such as Wattpad and AO3. Unfortunately, they don't provide the security I am looking for and I don't want to repeat this horrible experience ever again (not to mention disrupting the fans).
The option I am most considering is to set up a website where you will need to sign up (for a membership) and login to read the stories. There's no fee involved and your personal information will never be shared. I am also going to copyright everything on the website, so if any regrettable situation repeats itself, legal actions can be taken.
I understand that some of you may wish to remain anonymous. For the longest time I didn't mind sharing "Hidden Lives" in a public forum because I want people to have free access. However, since the unfortunate experience occurred, I have no choice but to protect my rights as an author. I also believe that loyal fans will understand and help me in safe guarding "Hidden Lives".
I still have 10+ chapters to go. As I promised you from the very beginning, I WILL give Amon and Helen the ending they deserve.
I would like get your feedback regarding this idea. Please drop your thoughts in the review page. If you would like to communicate privately, please feel free to PM me.
Thank you a million times for the endless love for "Hidden Lives".
