One Good Deed Novels & Stories

“Please…I’m already indebted to my teacher and my friend for everything they had done, I-” “You know, when you say the word ‘indebted’…it lessens the love and concern someone has for you.” Gabby’s voice sounded a little hurt. “When someone does something for you, even though they know the risks involved, just know that they do it because they care for you so much that they don’t worry about their own safety. So if you call that a debt…it becomes almost like a monetary exchange than a good deed done out of love.”

Every living being will meet their Creator. Tata firmly believes that. Although not overly religious, she tries her best to fulfill her obligations.

God knows how to repay it."

"Thank you." Jennet watched the business transactions in action. "That's interesting..." she murmured. It was a foreign feeling to see how the business was done and she had no idea if she had anything to exchange for. Hue went to her side, smiling. "Interesting, right? That's how things are done here. They offer things we want and we offer them with our good deeds." "But, 100 good deeds from your previous life for a dress is too much!" Jennet expressed her awe and worry. She had no idea if she should be happy because 100 good deeds done in one's previous life could be considered priceless.

I didn’t really like the topic he was aiming for, so I wanted to avoid it, and it hurts more because he’s right. “Boy. You see, I’m a gardener, I take care of flowers, I create gardens and they are beautiful creations, just like people, and amidst all that beauty, there are always flaws lingering around them, and it’s my job to prune them out” Mr. Wells starts, sounding like one of those wise men from Harry Potter. Sincerely, I know what he’s saying might be true, or sound reasonable, but right now I need to leave here soon, or I’m gonna be late, and once he starts, it takes hours for his lectures to end.

The truth had come to light after two lifetimes! Before this moment, I had endured so much—insults, humiliation, and even the cost of my life. But now, I finally understood everything, and I reclaimed my innocence in front of everyone! I, Raymond Hayes, was not a bad person. I had always been the ordinary, kind man in the service station, simply trying to help an old lady up. Tiana didn't just bring the truth. She also brought compensation with her. I was given one million dollars, a government job, and most importantly, a letter of commendation from the authorities.

Only the quiet armor of numbers and compliance. The car ride was short and silent. Kael’s hand rested on my knee the entire way, thumb moving in slow, deliberate arcs that had nothing to do with strategy and everything to do with reminding me we were walking into the room together. When the municipal building came into view he leaned closer. “They will try to make this feel like a favor they’re considering granting,” he said. “Do not perform gratitude. Give them the operational reality and the timeline of private approaches. I will handle the rest.”

I said and she smiled. "Is there any one in this world who has never done anything wrong? You are a doctor right? Are you saying that all doctors are noble and they don't do anything illegal? Every one does illegal things. I don't judge people and you shouldn't too. King is amazing. They pay us all maids really well. He also makes sure if any of us needs any medical treatment, my mother's life got saved because of his help. For me that am more than enough good deeds anyone can do" She said and I nodded. She has a point. She is getting paid and not getting forced in this. What more can she desire?

Hearing Lucian's words, Natalie clenched her fists in anger and said, "Do you think I will thank you for your work? Did you think I would be happy?" Lucian smiled softly at Natalie's angry voice and said, "Of course not. I never expected to be thanked by you. You did not give me the opportunity to participate in good deeds, so I thought that when I could not help you in good deeds, I would help you in bad deeds. Help is help, be it good deeds or bad deeds. My intention was to help you. I will give you the opportunity to do all the good deeds, but I will participate in bad deeds, even if you say no.

"Point well made. Cheating isn't good, but it doesn't define a person as good or bad. If you've done one good deed, are you considered good for the rest of your life?" "This is getting too heavy, like existential crisis for me. Let's talk about the job options. Why did Noah even hire someone to take my place before we went to my mom's house.
