My Ex Sued Me for the Account We Built Together Chapter 07

My Ex Sued Me for the Account We Built Together Chapter 07

Two weeks later, I released my third video. 

This time, I was at Cahokia Mounds State Historic 

Site in Illinois. I told a story to the camera. A 

thousand years ago, this was the largest 

pre–Columbian city north of Mexico–home to as 

many as twenty thousand people. But over the 

centuries, countless artifacts were dug up and 

carried away by looters and developers. Today, 

many of those pieces sit in museums across the 

country and overseas, far from the mounds where 

they were made. 

My eyes grew a little misty. I spoke firmly to the 

camera. “Once these objects are separated from 

this land, they become just labels in a display 

case. But here, with the earth and the sky, you can 

still feel the people who lived and died here.” 

The video was shared by several official cultural 

media outlets. 

One fan left a comment: [Sharon, the places you 

visit aren’t trendy tourist spots, but you make 

everyone want to see them for themselves.] 

I smiled and replied to the comment: [Truly 

wonderful stories are meant to be felt from the 

heart.] 

Meanwhile, things kept getting worse for Tyler 

Wilson. 

He posted a video titled “A Regular Guy’s Day.” It 

showed him waking up, eating breakfast, going to 

the gym, and coming home to cook. There was no 

plot, not even any dialogue. He rambled aimlessly 

to the camera for ten full minutes. Viewers filled 

the comment section: [Whoa, that’s Tyler? This 

content is total trash.] 

The video got fewer than a hundred thousand 

views. Word got around that Tyler flew into a rage 

with his team afterward. 

Summer told me the whole story like it was a joke. “Tyler is so full of himself. He actually thinks 

people will watch just because he’s on camera. And Riley? She has to have her fingers in 

everything, but she’s got no skills. I heard they’ve burned through four social media managers in a month, and nothing’s changed.” 

As for Riley’s personal page, every post she 

shared was roasted relentlessly. Fans mocked her 

outfits and labeled her a homewrecker beneath 

her selfies. 

One day, she completely broke down mid–live stream and erupted into a shouting match with Tyler. “Why are you yelling at me? Do you really 

think you’re still a big shot? You have nothing now! 

I’m the one propping up your channel’s stats. What 

gives you the right to lash out at me?” 

The moment she finished, she realized the stream 

was still live. Her face drained of color, and she 

cut the camera feed abruptly. The entire outburst 

had been recorded, and the clip spread like wildfire 

across every social platform. 

At first, netizens continued to bash Riley. Then 

sympathy shifted to Tyler, and soon everyone was 

mocking the pair. Longtime fans of Ty&Sha grew 

fed up with their mess and unfollowed the 

account. 

One comment racked up over 100,000 likes: [I 

finally understand. What I fell for all along was the vision and soul behind the content] 

I didn’t know any of this was happening. I was deep in the desert filming my next video. 

This time, I was at Chaco Culture National 

Historical Park in New Mexico. I walked among the massive stone great houses that once stood four stories tall, built by the ancient Chacoans a 

thousand years ago in the middle of the high 

desert. From that remote canyon, I spoke for 

fifteen minutes about the people who had built 

this place. I grew passionate as I talked. 

“These people built this place over a thousand 

years ago. Some of the biggest buildings in North 

America at the time. And then–they just left. 

Nobody really knows why. Drought? Maybe. Ran 

out of resources? Could be. Or something else. 

entirely. But the great houses are still standing. 

The kivas are still here. You can still see the 

petroglyphs they carved into the canyon walls. 

This is why I do this. I don’t want these stories to 

disappear.” 

After the video came out, a historian I’d followed 

for years shared it and wrote: [Finally a travel 

creator who doesn’t just stand there grinning in 

front of famous spots.] 

That same day, I got an invitation in my 

messages. A national television network wanted 

me to host a cultural travel show, visiting historic 

sites across the country. 

I said yes without hesitating. 

The day I signed the contract, the director smiled 

and asked, “You used to make couple content. 

Now you’re doing cultural stuff. Aren’t you afraid of losing followers?” 

I thought about it. “I’m just happy doing what I truly love” 

Finally, I was writing my own story.
