How to unlock the Coward achievement in Twelve Minutes - Definitive Guide
You need to know where the watch is for this achievement, once you do begin a loop, there's quite a bit of preparation for it, first grab the knife and cellphone and quickly put your wife to sleep, turn the light on and off once on the bedroom and grab the watch, after that hide on the closet until he arrives, wait for him to get knocked out and handcuff him, only grab one handcuff of him, leave the other items, after he wakes up say you're innocent and then collaborate with him and follow his instructions, after the loop ends you will get the achievement.

Can confirm above method works perfectly. Had no problems.

Before attempting this achievement, you must know where the watch is.
Begin a loop and quickly open the closet door, get inside, then shut the door. This needs to be done before your wife exits the bathroom. Wait inside until the end of the loop (when the Cop exits the room and enters the elevator). Begin a new loop.
Now,
Grab a mug and fill it up with water. Then, as soon as the wife exits the bathroom, open the medicine cabinet and grab the pills. Combine the two in your inventory, then hand the water to her. Go to the closet, examine the clothes, and grab the phone. Once your wife goes to the bedroom, grab a spoon from the kitchen table and return to the medicine cabinet. Examine the vent at the very bottom of the screen, use the spoon to open it, and grab the watch. Lastly, go to the bedroom and turn the light on and off. Remember to shut the bedroom door behind you. Enter the closet and shut the door.
Time will fast forward. Wait for the Cop to use the light switch and he’ll go unconscious. Loot one pair of handcuffs (nothing else!) and put them on him. When he comes to, tell him you are innocent and that you’ll follow his command.
Now, just do everything he says to get the achievement.

This requires you to complete the Betrayal loop. To do this, you need to drug your "Wife's" drink with the sleeping pills and interact with the light switch in the bedroom twice. Once she is asleep, hide in the closet and wait for the "Cop". He will get knocked out when he interacts with the light switch and you can take the zip handcuffs from him and cuff him (DON'T TAKE ANYTHING ELSE FROM HIM). When he awakes, agree to do what he says and leave the bedroom when he asks. Complete the phone call to 911, saying what he tells you to, and completing the loop.
