  4. Hello, my name is Nira. I was in a relationship with Anderson for years, but he broke up with me. I tried everything I could to get him back, but it was all in vain. I really wanted him back because of the love I have for him. I begged him with everything, made promises, but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend, and she suggested I contact a spell caster who could help me cast a spell to bring him back. Although I never believed in spells, I had no other choice but to try it. So I emailed the spell caster, and he assured me that everything would be fine in three days, and my ex would come back to me. Surprisingly, it happened on the second day around 4 pm. My ex called me, apologized for everything, and said he wanted me back because he loved me so much. I was so happy and went back to him. We started living together happily again. I promised anyone I know who has a relationship problem that I would refer them to the one true and powerful spell caster who helped me with my problem.
