The basic requirements for a guaranteed path to get this achievement are:
1. Rachel survives until the end of the game and does not get infected.
AND
2. Rachel rejects both Eric and Nick in the confrontation scene where she makes her final relationship choice.
As with most missable achievements in the game, there are a lot of factors that affect the outcome, and many of the requirements for other achievements will negate this one. But these are the major points to keep in mind:
1. Rachel, Nick, and Eric must all survive until the scene near the end of the game when she makes her relationship decision. This means: cut the rope as Eric (let Rachel fall), tell Salim to surrender rather than hide as Nick after you take down the vampire together, don't save Clarice as Rachel, remember where Jason and Nick plant the explosives in the corridor and tell Eric and Rachel to go the other way so they don't get 'sploded.
2. After the relationship decision scene, Rachel must continue to survive until the very end of the game. (Eric and/or Nick should be able to die after this scene has completed, but that is not yet confirmed; I kept them alive all the way, just in case.)
3. Rachel should be mean/sarcastic/non-romantic in any conversation with Eric and Nick, and vice-versa. With Eric, there are many dialogue opportunities for this, but not nearly as many with Nick. In the opening scene at the base with Rachel/Nick, make sure she tells him that they need to put their relationship on ice. Basically, take every opportunity to bring all of their relationships down.
4. There are at least 2 opportunities for Rachel to be infected during the "Survive the Assault" scene in the Sacrificial Chamber, so they must be avoided. The first is when you're playing as Salim and have the choice to shoot the vampire that's about to attack you, or the one that's already attacking Rachel on the ground. Choose to shoot the vampire that's attacking Rachel, or she will be infected. The second is when the ancient warrior vampire is choking Eric. As Rachel, you'll have the choice to save him or flee. Choose to flee, or she will be cornered and infected.
The achievement will unlock right after the last QTE is successfully completed during the final attack.
If other factors that affect the achievement are discovered, please note them in the comments and I will update the solution.

That's an interesting detail. In all of my experimenting, Eric did not heal her with the UV light if she rejected him earlier. Maybe there's a narrow window in their relationship status between being low enough for him to not bother healing her and being high enough for her to get back together with him.

In my playthrough, Rachel was infected when Salim shot the alien coming for him instead of her. And Eric healed her with the UV light in the star chamber. She had rejected both earlier. Achievement still popped.

For this trophy, you will need to push both Nick and Eric away whenever possible (I wasn't outright abusive to either of them, but chose not to commit to either of them whenever possible). All three characters will also need to make it at least to the underground city. After the big battle with every character, Nick, Eric and Rachel will find themselves alone, and Nick will insist they talk. If you've sufficiently rejected both guys, you'll have the option of telling Eric that they're finished, and then Rachel will turn to Nick and end things too. Once that happens, simply make sure to finish the game with Rachel alive for the trophy. Leaving her trapped in the cocoon with everyone else dead will void this trophy, but that's a very specific scenario you're unlikely to run into.

If you kill Nick and Eric, and Rachel survives at the end, then nothing will happen. No prize will be given. Apparently we need to ruin the relationship

Rachel must break up with two boyfriends

1. At the beginning of the game as Rachel, we tell Nick that we need a “pause” in the relationship. In this case, their relationship will worsen (one of the determining factors for breaking up with Nick in general, since there is no way to ruin their relationship until the moment of choosing a future partner for the rest of their lives).
2. Every time we talk with Eric, we try to set them at odds by choosing the appropriate answer options (there will be no problems with this). We make sure to tell Eric that Rachel has someone else.
3. BE SURE to cut the rope without trying to save Rachel as she falls. Firstly: you need to ruin the relationship as much as possible, and secondly: if Jason and Nick drag Mervyn along with them on morphine, then the people will not have time to help Eric and he will simply fall onto a stalagmite with fatal consequences. The trophy will not drop if one of the suitors dies before the moment of selection.
4. In the future, Eric will guess that the other one is Nick and upon Rachel’s return, he will immediately punch Nick in the face, and will not go to hug Rachel first.
5. As a result, Nick will later say that it’s time to choose - him or me. Eric agrees it's time. As a result, Rachel tells Eric that it was better before, but now it’s not so much. Select the answer “Remain silent”. Then she switches to Nick and says that she is not interested in him either. Summing up, she says that she will get out of this hell herself and does not need guardianship. Congratulations, you are alone.
The trophy will drop in the final chapter.
I will note that at the same time I had a good relationship between Eric and Nick, because... I made a walkthrough for further forks for the trophies “Hurray”, “Interference”, etc.

It’s easy to make the curator of the cat version answering for Nick if Rachel promised him to inform her husband about the betrayal. In the usual version, he chose to take a break with Nick at the beginning, then confessed his love for Eric, but rejected both of them.

As Rachel, maintain an average relationship with Eric. If you reciprocate, support, flirt, etc., then the relationship scale will go much further than the middle and if you choose “remain silent,” she will still remain with Eric.

In the normal version of the game, at the beginning we answer Nick that he needs to take a break, then we answer Eric there so that there is no reciprocity, and when he confesses his love we talk about the fact that there is another, when going to the menu of the relationship between them, try to match the scale of Eric and Nika is the same...in fact, the relationship with Eric needs to be ruined until they listen to the scientists' audio recordings of what happened.
I also recommend combining this trophy with these:
Chekhov's Gun / Chekhov's gun
Ghost Signal / Interference
Semper Fi/Semper Fi
Final Girl
